Hi BurrMan,

Thanks for all the input on this.... I've 'cracked' the problem by limiting the allowable posted angle to less than 180 Degrees. The control seems much happier with this. It makes more...

Hello again BurrMan,

Thanks very much for your input so far on this.... Much appreciated... right, have shifted the geometry as suggested so the the wrap geometry starts at Y0.0 yes this has...

Hi there BurrMan,

Thanks for the reply.... I'm pulling my hair out over this problem.....

Hi there,

I'm not sure - but think this must be a bug?

We have a Chiron mill with a rotary axis, it requires 0-360 Deg. angle code (NOT SIGNED) - I've changed post block 440 to '0' which should...

Right, tried just keying in ENT but control won't accept that? Very odd as we read progs. in all day with feed as FMAX, I can't belive there's no way to key it in?

James

Excellent, Thanks Gus. I will give that a try.

James

Hi there,

A real simple quick question to anyone in the know.....

For as long as I've programmed the TNC controls I've always programmed the rapids as max speed feeds (i.e F9999 or F15000) but...

Hi there,

I've just bought a Beaver Partsmaster (was delivered last week), the first thing I did was read off all parameters and backed them up. Your welcome to those, as I'm pretty sure they will...

Ah ha..... I like that! Just tried the demo and am rather impressed by it..... Just sent off a sample file for them to convert (as the demo is save crippled).... Thanks for the suggestion....

James

Hi,

Thanks very very much for your suggestion..... Unfortunately I could not see any reference on there website to DXF conversion or any optimisation?

Cheers,

James

Hi Tom, thanks very much for your reply..... Sorry, The machine does have CV mode (Turned ON/OFF via G36 & G37) I shouldn't have said starts and stops it just de accelerates down to the calculated...

Hi there,

We've got a Farley Rapier plasma profiler fitted with a Hypertherm HD3070 power source.... We're currently using Sheetcam as the cam software and either Solidworks or TurboCad to make...

Hi all,

Sorry been away for a day or so..... Thanks very much for the replies....

I shall try both numbers and see how far we get with that.

The spindle motor currently will momentarily spin...

Hi Jon,


Thaks for your reply.... Physicaly fitting the motor won't be a problem, it's more the interfacing with the TNC that I'm not so sure about.

The DC motor currently fitted is a 10HP...

Hi there,

I have a really very nice Bridgeport interact 1 mk2, unfortunately it came to me with a faulty DC spindle motor board (the Tyristor board was chard!) I've replaced some of the tyristors...

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply, sorry I havent answered sooner but we have had a frantic week.

Any contact info would be very much appreciated, we're actually doing quite well now on the...

Hi there,

Yes, I think this is the ANCA control (pos. PDF32 ?). Ive sent a PM.

All the very best,

James

Hi there,

We have a Farley Rapier with a Hypertherm HD3070 plasma system fitted. Unfortunantly we have no manuals or info for the sytem (we have the Hyperthem docs but not for the control /...

Silly thought, Check for swarf on the X home prox. switch. I quite often had to clear steel swarf off our Z axis one as they are magnetic.

James

Hello Gridley,

The motor has been 'spun up' on a big 36v DC PSU that I have in the workshop, just did this to satisfy myself that the motor was basically functioning.
The motor builders have...

Al,

It's an interesting thought, the only thing is while I've been substituting motors they havent been grounded (they were off the machine and sitting on plastic bin) and the machine ground was...

Evening all....

I get no DC voltage at the motor side after enabling the drives (while the motors are stationary) However as already explained all the drives show a voltage momentarily when the...

Hmm, but not enough to fry an egg on! As already mentioned the motor will 'flash up' on any of the axis drives when the drives are enabled, but I know the drives are functioning properly as they will...

Ok,

Motor wires are not mixed.... I hate to be so cock sure but, the internal tach wires, wires to the brushes and also the internal thermal trip are all quite different sizes and also colour...

Hello Gus,

Many thanks for your prompt reply....

If it is not the x motor, that could you explain why the problem follows the motor? I.e when the suspect (x) motor is moved upto the z axis it...

Hello all,

Please bare with me, If I have left out any details please let me know.

I recently purchased a Bridgeport Interact 1 MK2,1988, s/n 660600788C with Heidenhain 151b control. The...

Ok,

Just an update... I've been playing with this today....

Changed MP54 & MP91 and it's all much better now.

James

Hi there,

I hope some clever sole can answer this for us.... We're using an old Interact mill with a TNC 150 control.... Despite only having 1200 blocks of memory available I've been playing with...
