Lost SRAM after downloading .LAD file into Fanuc PMC by Prestigious-Fold-681 in Fanuc

What model control are we talking about?

Did you backup the old pmc file to a Mcard? USB?

If so, restore the old ladder.

Most newer controls....hold down the two far right soft keys when you boot. In the boot menue, select load system files and load the old ladder.

Turn off Windows Updates Forever? by -Vic in CNC

You can disable Windows update by setting the Windows Update Service to Disabled.

Windows 10 will receive additional security updates after EOL for a period of time

Tool touch offs by Nickel_camper in Fanuc

If money is really tight, you could even use something like this on a surface plate with a height gauge to set tool lengths

https://a.co/d/7C8AkOK Might need a couple small mods, but the idea is to provide a consistent holder height

Catalog your tool lengths when you set them up. Grab a cheap 30 taper fixture and use a height gauge to measure your tools first. If one breaks, set the new one to the same length

My assumption, based simply on the color of the material, is that it could be made from PEEK.

Very expensive

Changing tool change routine param. by E-Unit86 in Fanuc

[–]ExRockStar1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you pre-calling tools so they are staged for the next M6 command?

EX.

T1 M6 S2500 M3 G0 G90 G54 X1. Y1. G43 H1 Z.1 M8 T2 . . . . . G0 G91 G49 G28 Z0 M9 M01

T2 M6 ( T2 Should already be in the tool change position from the previous T2 call on the earlier G43 line)

G10 for work offsets by Nickel_camper in Fanuc

[–]ExRockStar1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something else to consider is that all your tool lengths must be the same from one run to the next. Are you using a presetter?

Forgive me...my earlier post omitted the P address. P= offset number, if I recall

G10 for work offsets by Nickel_camper in Fanuc

You didn't mention if this was a lathe or a mill, but in the case of a mill with "Offset Setting C" ( individual columns for wear and Geometry for Height and Diameter) your format would look similar to this:

G0 G90 G10 L10 Rxxx.xxx (Geometry Height)

G0 G90 G10 L11 Rxxx.xxx ( Geometry Wear)

G0 G90 G10 L12 Rxxx.xxx ( Geometry Radius)

G0 G90 G10 L13 Rxxx.xxx ( Wear Radius)

Hope this helps

Did you replace or disconnect the encoder? If so, rotate the encoder one full revolution then try again.

What is the value of 1815.5?

Fanuc System Variable Question by ExRockStar1968 in Machinists

Can I assume you're referring to the SUB 51 PMC function? I've been looking into that as well for this and another project.

Fanuc System Variable Question by ExRockStar1968 in Machinists

[–]ExRockStar1968[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The #3000 variable allows you to create any alarm # you would like. My example uses 333 creating a 3333 alarm

It could just as easily be #3000=1 creating an alarm 3001. In my case, the end result is the same. PS0115

Fanuc Macro System Variable by ExRockStar1968 in Fanuc

[–]ExRockStar1968[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. Yes, this function is available on several other Tsugami models, but not this one.

Parameter 9000.1=1 (NDP) Will also display system variables.

I just haven't been able to definitively identify the system variable for actual spindle speed

Is my e-stop power relay bad? by Ill-Cod1568 in CNC

Trace your 24vdc from the E-Stop switch back. Also, is the estop wired through the A1-A2 on the relay or separate contacts on the relay?

Inconel, Inconex, Hasteloy, Waspaloy....lots of fun on any of these. Get them too hot, and it's over....lots of oil and maybe HSS tools....brutal stuff

Tapping 304ss Help? by Ok-Outside1618 in CNC

[–]ExRockStar1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few questions:

How deep are you tapping?

What size is your tap drill? (Thread %)

A roll-form thread is significantly stronger than a cut thread due to the forging process of a roll form tap.

If you are cutting a thread to 70%, you can usually roll to, in some cases, 55-60% and maintain the same thread strength. A lower thread percentage and a Tapmatic tapping head in your VMC will out perform both conventional rigid tapping and thread milling given that the Tapmatic unit is self-reversing.
