Finally - Problem solved. After installing a refurbished main circuit board (not the "daughter" axis control board I thought would be the problem), the machine movements are accurate as they were...

OK - So I was able to position the table almost to the hard stops in X positive and Y negative and get past the soft over travel alarms while having the X and Y cables swapped in the main board. ...

The problem did not happen out of the blue. The machine was not utilized for six or seven months as far as running production jobs. During that time, it was exercised on several occasions running a...

Thanks for your interest in helping me solve the problem. As stated in my post; the motor to ball screw coupling is not slipping, and witness marks were utilized to make that determination. ...

Thanks Partner for the reply! I checked the end play of the ball screw and found there to be minimal movement (i.e. .0005" or so back and forth) as the axis is moved positive then negative again and...

Hello there and thanks for any help that can be offered - This one has me chasing my tail!

Problem in General Terms:
Y axis movement is inaccurate. A move of a known distance, as measured with...

I’m contemplating placing a bid at auction for a twenty something year old lathe for “rough-out” work that has a Fanuc 15-T controller. In our shop we run most everything using parametric programs;...

Hey Al - Once again; thanks for the help! Because of your assistance I was able to accomplish the goal - You are "THE MAN"

Thanks Al for the help - much appreciated!!

I have a late 1980's MV-40 with a Fanuc 10M controller and don't seem to be able to run a program that contains variables. The following alarm message is displayed: "PS012 INVALID BREAK POINT OF...

I have a CL-253 w/MSG-803 control that will start up and run like normal all day long; provided you don't shut it down. If you power down; the machine won't start up again for hours (i.e. the next...

I think I've got it now. I punched the parameters once again and the resulting .txt file does have "N" prefixes for all the lines. Like an idiot, I "stripped" the line numbers the first time around...

Thanks Fellows - I'll be sure to manually record the "9000" parameters, keep relays, timers etc.. By the way, does the data in the sample look like what you've seen before? Still not sure about all...

OK - Thanks for the help. Using the same software (EditCNC) I use to transfer programs back and forth, I was able to receive some data by following the sequence outlined (SERVICE - PARAM - PUNCH -...

I have a Mori-Seiki MV-45 mill with a Fanuc 10M controller and communicate via RS-232. I would like to copy all the machine parameters to the PC for backup purposes and don't really know how to...

Denny - One is a CL-253 with the MSG803 controller and the other is a SL-204 with the MSG805 controller. I'm not sure about the MAPPS version(s). I just shut them down and am on my way out. I will...

Thanks fellows for your help. The controller is definitely a Mitsubishi, not a Fanuc, and the rapid point is sufficiently away from the part so that the feed move in the Z axis, in the G43 start up...

I'm trying to figure out why a particular program runs fine in one mori lathe, but not another, when both have very similar controllers (both are Mitsubishi Meldas 60 series - one is a MSG-803 and...
