Blank screen: Bad CRT? Bad video board? Mother board dead? logic power supply dead?
Reboot and watch the floppy. It it lights up and spins a few seconds, it means the logic power supply is probably...
If you have no display, I would check the output of the logic power supply. Also make sure all boards are seated correctly and facing in the same direction.
The display board is very static...
Have you looked at the marker pulse? It occurs once per revolution. It starts the counting process for orient.
Next, what is the drift? Command a S0M3. The drift should be less than 4 RPM.
Happy new year to all. The tables have turned and I need help. The first few EZPATH2 lathes had the Magnetek spindle drives. The later ones had Yaskawa. I have had a Magnetek logic board fry and it...
You can get the software from EMI. If you have purchased a hard drive, you will have to FDISK it to 504MB, format, load DOS, and then the machine software. You may want to consider a Disk on a Module.
No counter weight.
The software will not support it. Do you need a true 4th axis or will a programmable indexer do?
The Apollo was actually built for the military. It was a Interact 4 with a DX32 control. Different from the V2XT as it had a Electronic spindle drive, a power draw bar, etc. Try machinemanuals.com or...
When it boots, before homing, press *, a box should open asking for a code. type in 11235 followed by enter twice. Machine parameters should come up. if a series 1, they should be 30 for X, 12 for Y,...
Try machinemanuals.com (it used to be .net)
The format disk has to be a boot disk. It contains command.com and 2 hidden files which make it bootable.
32 weight in the headstock.
Will it do rapid moves?
Does it not do feed moves?
Does it show a spindle speed? correctly? Usually if a spindle speed differs from command by 20 percent or more, it will not feed.
Also start at least .2 inches in front of the part so the carraige settles in.
We have started installing the USB floppy emulators. We get ours from EMI. They provide the software and a thumb drive. If yours was purchased from EMI, they may give you a copy. These are also...
This means the BMDC did not load. Because you have the S version, I know it has a Control in a box with a half size all in one mother board. This may have a daughter board for mass memory, or a disk...
As with any PC, do a scandisk and a defrag. I believe you have either a corrupted file or possibly a corruption of the CMOS telling the control how to read the mass memory device (hard drive, DOM)...
The relays on the TLAUF or LCTLAUF are solid state and typically leak or short. They are the row of black devices maybe 1/4 inch by 1 inch by 2 inch.
I have seen the arm back short and thus the arm...
A Y overflow is that the control sent a command and expected to see a move and did not see a move.
If it indeed did move and it was not seen, it would indicate a bad position loop (encoder, cable,...
It depends on the version of software. Could be arrow up/down, or +/- keys.
The ball screw is NOT in tension (between 2 sets of bearings). Thus due to heat, it will grow. It only has a precision bearing on one end. Work produces heat. The way oil is used to reduce friction...
DX-32 control? It has a spindle drive. Look for STM. Input a Speed, just press enter to skip T, and a M3. You may have to press start. You need a operating manual.
Switches are not an exact way to home a machine. Thus the control looks for the home switch, and then looks for the marker pulse on the encoder. This marker pulse occurs typically once per revolution...
It is a many page manual!
not affilited with this but after trying Ebay, try machinemanuals com or .net
Parameters may be wrong for positive and negative distance from home switch, or you may have a switch or marker pulse issue if it is not homing.
Spindles are rebuilt with high precision in a CLEAN ROOM. Bridgeport used to have one. I saw it.
Spindles are greased with typically KLUBER grease and even that is a science. So many CCs here and...
This bothers me. It should still have not smoked the motor. Did it lose the position loop and hit end of travel?
Did you ever notice that motor getting hot? Make sure you check tuning when you...
Best suggestion is to get a DISK on a MODULE which is solid state drive and the latest software from EMI-inc.net.
I do not work for them.
You get the latest with no bugs I am aware of and support...
