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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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"...
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...
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 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...
The error went away by itself which is concerning.
The guard to prevent the white piece from hitting the top bar went without an issue. It is now together and homed without an issue. Restarting the PLC it moved at a slow rate going to the Z home position.
I still don't know what the pressure...
One problem lead to more problems in rapid succession.
I was machining flats on shafts. Staring the mill, move, stop, rotate shaft, start, move, stop.
I turned on the spindle at 864rpm, it spun up and the hydraulic pump turned on. It stayed on for about 5 seconds before I got an error, 1408...
My main questions are not new controller questions or motor related. I have those working well enough. I am interested in how the Hardinge Superslant is maintained.
Except for the spindle, the machine is brushless. The brushes on the spindle were replaced 6 years ago, and 3 of those years it...
I rebuilt a Hardinge Superslant SB-3-GN. I have been running it for a month now and it has produced some beautiful results. The controller was replaced with the EMC/LinuxCNC interface. I have two jog wheels, one for X and the other for Z/W.
The new control plate. Feed/Speed/Rapid controls. To...
I do have the power supply. Are you interested?
Since this post I have the machine working fully. I am doing some GUI changes on the PLC, but everything else is good.
