External M Code Mori NL2000
If a FIN signal was needed, you would want a 24VDC connection to one post of a NO switch mounted or integral to the Pump Motor Start Relay. The other side of that switch would go to an X Input. You can steal the 24VDC that will be there already to drive the coil of the Motor start Relay. Sorry...- 13engines

New lathe, in need of 3 phase!
Yes just get a 7 1/2 or 10HP Rotary Phase Convertor and be done with it. Will offer a little room to grow too when needed. If you're certain this is it for 3 phase machines, maybe even a 5hp would do, or one of those Static convertors. At least they're quieter.- 13engines

CNC Lathe - Setting Y value of cutter
This may be obvious from what sinha offered, but what he's showing only applies to tools with the shank width that the turret was built around. Meaning if it's built for 1" tool shanks, that is the tool size you want to use. Using anything but the designed size only hinders and complicates what...- 13engines

Foaming Issues in VMC Machine
Did you use DI/RO water or similar for initial fill? In most case, initial fills should be with tap water. At least the the bulk of it anyway. Or... was this a change-over from a different coolant, and the change-over machine wash wasn't rinsed out thoroughly?- 13engines

How much could I lift?
Sorta OT, but unless you're looking to butcher a deer, I can't see where a stationary lift is of much value. Anything you lift can only be as heavy as your best cart can handle. (For moving the load after the fact.) Then once you roll it over to the machine, now how do you get the load off the...- 13engines

Work co ordinate setup
Curious how this thread about Work Coordinates drifted into talk of Absolute/Incremental, when they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. (insert some emoji here)- 13engines

Fanuc O-T C lathe parameters for controlling spindle accel/ decell
On a hunch I just pulled out my Fanuc Alpha Series Spindle Motor Parameter Manual. Mostly what it did was reminded me how much goes on behind the scenes that I have no clue about. The thing is a barn full of info. Pretty sure what you're looking for will be in the Spindle Manual that is...- 13engines

Fanuc O-T C lathe parameters for controlling spindle accel/ decell
BTW... what you;'re looking for might be referred to as a Time Constant. If you can't find anything in the parameter manual, you might have to look in the Spindle Motor Manual relative to the type and stye of the motor on your machine. Be that of the Standard type usually driving a belt, or a...- 13engines

Fanuc O-T C lathe parameters for controlling spindle accel/ decell
Just about every Fanuc Manual ever printed is available free on the www. The one good thing about downloading one is now you have a searchable pdf instead of a Table of Contents to fish through. Try searching B-61400E- 13engines

Mori AL-2 Z return problem
Glad to see this all got figured out. What I have for info may be a little late to the party, as I bet you have the way covers bolted back up, but I'll share it anyway for future reference. It's been my experience with two 90's Mori mills and a 2000 lathe that the travels and over travels are...- 13engines

Excel Kiwa 510 Colt with 4,180 hours, FANUC OM control, worth buying or white elephant?
There is a staggering amount of machined parts that are created without 3D contouring or even 3 axis simultaneous. The OP's reminiscing over an old Fadal pretty much suggests that 3D contouring is not at the front of his catalog. Meaning the oft belittled OM will likely do just fine for him...- 13engines

Selling a lathe is my price fair?
I admit it's a great big list of what's included, but what about the old adage of "a picture is worth a thousand words?" Better yet... a few pictures.- 13engines

Matsuura MC-1000V-DC Twin Master 2. *** 070 Fanuc error when trying to edit existing block of code in existing program.
I see it kinda like this. Take your home computer and fill its memory up to within a couple few bytes. Maybe even a couple kilobytes. You can bet it's going to start acting buggy or start complaining.- 13engines

Alarm 070 NO PROGRAM SPACE IN MEMORY. The Memory area is insufficient. Delete any unnecessary programs and retry. Need I (the book) say more?- 13engines

Excel Kiwa 510 Colt with 4,180 hours, FANUC OM control, worth buying or white elephant?
Wanted to double down on what dandrummer said. 4180 hrs seems low-ish. I have an OMC, and maybe three or four times over the 15 years or more I've owned it, I've accidentally reset the clock. I still don't even know how I did it. Pisses me off, as I did a total ground up on it and wanted to keep...- 13engines
