I contacted Mitsubishi Electric with the equipment specs and asked for the battery model and replacement procedure. They replied if I read the battery number printed on the face of the battery they...

Thanks for that. I located an FX884/(784-8) board in the CPU rack, the closest numerical match I could find. Using a flashlight and a mirror I see something that could be cluster of tablet batteries...

Hello all,

I am getting the "23 NMI Battery Alarm". In the past I would only see this if the machine had been down for quite a long while, like when the spindle was away getting rebuilt. But it...

I am trying to change the spindle acceleration rate on a 1988 Mazak QuickTurn 10N with the T3 Mazatol controller. I want to slow it down a little to reduce the peak current draw. Everything seems to...

Hello All,

I am in the final phases (sorry, bad pun) of upgrading my RPC from a homemade 7.5hp to a 20hp (with 1hp pony motor). So I needed to rebalance the phases and alter the run capacitors....

Hello all,

I am trying to adjust the acceleration/deceleration rate of a Mitsubishi FR-SX-2-11K with regenerative braking. The unit is fitted to a 1988 Mazak QuickTurn 10N lathe, T3 Mazatrol...

I was sent a copy of the VF series manual, and in there it explained the 12v signal from MFIN is shorted to ground. This is not explainined in the TM-1 manual. While I figured the signal went out to...

The use of M21 and resetting of the relay via the M-FIN signal is clear enough. However I still do not know why the M-FIN terminal has four conductors, two 12v and two null, except my original...

Al,

Presumably it only effects the user assigned M-code relays where the machine control would otherwise not know if the signal was acted upon. Obviously any internal control M-codes...

Actually a quick MDI program shows a M-FIN signal is required after a M21 is called. However I also found the parameter that turns the 'wait for M-FIN' on and off.

Al,

The M-FIN signal is optional, so no the M21 does not wait for it. Or so I am lead to believe, since the TM-1 manual makes no mention of the M-FIN in conjunction with M21 (except in the context...

Hello all,

I have a 2006 TM-1 that I am installing a Haas indexer on. I have the Haas indexer control box, and initial thoughts were to hook up the 4-pin DIN cable (also Haas) to the spare M21...

Pandinus,

I was mistakenly lumping the floppy in with the IDE interfaces, I did not realize, till you pointed it out, that the floppies were 'a few pins short'. My bad luck in that the Mitsumi...

I have been reading with interest the various posts on floppy disk 'hacks' with USB interfaces, like the plrelectronics device. I was thinking of going the same route. I did not buy the overpriced...

TM-1, non-full enclosure, new machine 2006.

Coolant leaks-

Between the front sheet metal trough and the face of the base casting. The sheet metal is attached to the face of the base casting...

Jim,

You could buy the internal cables from HAAS for the power relay ($69) and power supply ($79) or for $5 in electronic connectors, some wire, and a soldering iron you can make your own.

You...

The display screen on mine is 11" diagonal and not a particularly high resolution. Not heard of a 15" option, must be something new. The tool path simulation at the control is very basic/primitive,...

I bought a TM-1, single phase, for light industrial/very, very serious hobby work. It is not what I would consider a heavy metal removal machine, and vibrates quite badly in heavy cuts, so I would...
