Sorry Justin,
I can't help you at all with the electrical stuff. We are running ours off of a phase converter. We traded an electrician some work for the wiring job, and I wasn't even there when it...

Not exactly :D
Definitely too sofisticated for my control. But i get the logic, just going to have to figure out which method that my controller can handle. Hopefully it won't be too cumbersome.

Justin,

Can you take some pics of the machine with a digital camera and post them up here? The ports should be pretty obvious. Especially the RS232, they are pretty big. So big that you might not...

Geof,
Thanks, examples would be great, as I am working with a Hurco SM1 and don't have any documentation on what the capabilities of my controller are. So, basically it's all trial and error over...

I know this is a really basic question, but I am new to this part of g-code. I plan to do some part offsets, or in other words I am going to make several parts at once. I understand that using a G54,...

Success!!! I just had to pull the MPU board and set the baud rate to match what bobcad was sending out. The computer and machine are talking, and I ran a sample program in air. All went well. Now I...

You lucky dog Jim, I wish I had someone nearby with a working setup to look at. I hooked up all my cables and got the software set-up. I think I just have a couple of kinks to work out. I am getting...

Hey Jim,
How goes the DNC effort? I got my cable from CMC and picked up a used version of bobcad v20. Dealing with the flu right now, but hoping that friday I will be able to head over to the shop...

Hey Justin,
The old Hurco's can do alot. My partner and I picked up an SM1, which is the same control as yours, about a year ago. We have made several things with it, see the pic for an example. ...

Thanks Jim, I think I will demo machine link, it looks good. So, I assume you use a CAM program to create your g-code, then import it to machine link? Would you mind telling me which CAM package you...

Sorry Jim, my question was for the original poster. Looks like he is getting rid of his machine and accessories, and I could use a cable and some of the other stuff too. Jim, do you use g-code on...

Jim, thank you. By "serial ports" do you mean the round ones? If so, would that mean that I do on fact have to purchase a cable, 2 cables? I was looking behind the ports themselves and was wondering...

Jim, thank you, yes I can load the g-code master with the tape emulator. I don't think it is a CMC or an AMTS emulator though. When I opened the cabinet and looked, the emulator board (small circuit...

Do you have the rs232 cable that connects the computer to the Round port on the Hurco?

mmachining,
So how is it working? Can you tell me what you are using to communicate with the Hurco? I have an SM1, same control as you, and I am looking to run g-code. I have been running a tape...

Hi,
I have a Hurco SM1 CNC Mill. I have grown tired of the manual input of the conversational code, and want to go with a CAM package and run G-code. I use AutoCAD to make my drawing/DXF. I just...
