    Fagor 8055 jumping tool changes without calling subroutine 55

    This is the code I do have for the tool change if it was working. Just, none if it is triggering so I simplified it as shown above.

    Fagor 8055 jumping tool changes without calling subroutine 55

    I have a 2004 Fagor 8055 on a Bridgeport style mill. Second hand. I have no idea how this was running before. I need help triggering Subroutine 55 for a tool change. A program with tool changes will run and instead of pausing for a tool change, it will instantly jump to the next line of code...

    Rapid Speed Control on MillPWR G1

    I am in possession of a new (to me) Acu-Rite MillPWR G1 with 2.5 axis and I am looking for some help learning how the machine works. At this point it is working well except for extended rapid motions. When the machine does a rapid motion in a program larger than 5", I receive an error of 'SERVO...

    Hardinge Superslant 3 axis X axis seized. Taking apart and hopeful repair

    Updates. I was in the states doing repair work, then in isolation. Just got a chance to get back on this. Getting chain hoist to lift out turret 5/8-11 bolts for lifting out saddle. Home Depot did not have 5/8 bolts or washers, but they did have 5/8 concrete anchors with nuts and washers...

    Hardinge Superslant 3 axis X axis seized. Taking apart and hopeful repair

    Thanks for the post. The turret came off. I found the electrical disconnect for the turret. Someone put a new plug on the end of the cable and wrapped it in electrical tape, so some history is on this turret. I also noticed a cover plate on the x axis I see in the manual was missing. I removed...

    Hardinge Superslant 3 axis X axis seized. Taking apart and hopeful repair

    I have a Hardinge Superslant that I changed over from the Fanuc to a LinuxCNC board. With that, I had always told myself to check the lube as the old lube level switch didn't work. Well, I forgot it and then during the middle of an operation everything went bad. The X axis servo overloaded...

    I rebuilt a Hardinge Superslant, but I don't have SOP information

    Why? Because I wanted a CNC lathe and two of my friends (independently and they don't know each other other than one meeting) have made their own CNC lathe. I also made a bunch of 3D printers, a stepper motor gantry mill, and a laser cutter using the parallel port or GRBL and had started there...

    I rebuilt a Hardinge Superslant, but I don't have SOP information

    To answer my own questions: 1. Coolant is disposed of at a hazardous disposal site. Had to get a bunch of buckets and took them there. Was a pain. 2. Turret spindle alignment I haven't solved. The manual did talk about what the various parts are on the spindle, but I haven't come across a page...

    I rebuilt a Hardinge Superslant, but I don't have SOP information

    How much do you want to know? How much do you know? I can provide a wiring diagram, pin out, and the program I made the machine with. Be expected to remove the old servo drives from the machine. That will be an additional $3-8k depending on what you want in speed and power. Mesa cards are cheap...

    Deckel Dialog 11 FP50CC/T SPS error code on startup

    Is there a reader for the code or is it mostly in hex? I am looking to rebuild the mill with Linux CNC soon and would prefer to have some ladder layout instead of making my own code up from scratch and educated guesses. I do have a complete pinout and labels for each pin.

    Deckel Dialog 11 FP50CC/T SPS error code on startup

    I think the best I could do is provide some new EPROM chips, but I don't know if I have ver 7.07 nor how I can find that. Can someone else point out what I have? I do have a functional Grundig PLC with a missing memory card. I am unsure if you are interested in getting those chips or what can...

    Hardinge superslant rebuilt. What tooling should I get?

    I am the semi new owner of a Hardinge Superslant 3 axis with a rebuilt Plc running Linux CNC. The machine has 8 turret tools, 8 tailstock tools. Cam is bobcad right now and I have worked out a post processor that figures out the tailstock as needed. I also made a bar pusher that can take 60"...

    Deckel Dialog 11 FP50CC/T SPS error code on startup

    In order of things that work: 1. Replacing the batteries on both boards is the easiest, but requires some soldering skills. Worked once 2. Cleaning the boards with isopropyl and Q-tips worked once 3. Replacing cards and swapping the E-Prom chips from the old cards to the new cards. Swap cards...

    Deckel 11, milling head not in base position

    To fix: Go to service window and use the password DIALOG. Go to Milling Head. Activate Milling Head Lock and Spindle Clamp Release. Press the Go button to trigger the command. I also tried Milling Head Lock Release and Milling Head To Horizontal, but that did not shift it I could hear that...

    Deckel 11, milling head not in base position

    Deckel fp50cc/t. 2207: Milling head not in base position. I can't get it to start. Turning it on had a whole host of errors which I solved by restarting the plc. After my success with getting my Hardinge lathe converted to Linux CNC I am going to change this mill over. I never had the tool...
