Re: FADAL TRM - Control Cabinet Wiring Advice

I was really close to ordering the 1.3kW NEMA servos for mine but luckily I measured. Even without the connector, the body of the servo wouldn’t fit into the older haas machines. I think I’ve posted some pictures of what DMM came up with that does fit. It’s their 86mm 750W servo lengthened a bit and...

Re: FADAL TRM - Control Cabinet Wiring Advice

Hi Marty, So your TRM does not have a counter weight? I have a Haas VFO 1993 that is counter balanced and was interested it the lower price point the DMMs have going for them. Be sure to look at the dimensions carefully when selecting servos for that machine. I’m guessing it’s the same as my VF-1, ...

Re: Spindle Fan M Code

Thank you for the explanation. For some reason I assumed that SET of the timer would restart it. Off to delete some lines of code....

Re: Spindle Fan M Code

That's pretty close to what I did in my PLC. I've got a fan/pump/radiator combo running on the spindle cooling output. The timer is just set to the parameter where you input the delay (SV_MACHINE_PARAMETER_175). Once "set" it begins counting and will be evaluated True when it gets there. Y...

Re: '93 Haas VF-1 retrofit

Did you try the GEAR_NUM=8192 & LINE_NUM=4095 by any chance? I never could get that to work. I ended up using the 2000 for both. You might try 8192 and 409 6 . Yeah I thought it was a typo too. It won’t take 4096, doesn’t allow numbers that large. Story I heard is that 4095 puts it into some ki...

Re: '93 Haas VF-1 retrofit

I may have to revisit the issue later. We'll see how bad the error messages bug me I guess. I've had a few other people tell me they get the same error if they try to leave the logic power on with the motor power off. Maybe they did change something in the firmware. Did you try the GEAR_NUM=8192 &am...

Re: '93 Haas VF-1 retrofit

I have mostly given up on getting them to work per the Oak schematic. I have both logic and power routed through the contactors. The contactors are in series with the 24vac side of the switch and not connected to the Oak relay. They seem to be fine like this. I get encoder errors during e-stop but t...

Re: systest.cnc systest.out

I got the missing parameter 1020 every time the axis switch to marker test didn’t pass. It only showed the error message on screen the first time I think. I DID have clearly marked lines in the systest file saying why though. That's because Acorn is OPEN loop and has no Encoder inputs and it can't ...

Re: '93 Haas VF-1 retrofit

I had to go with the molex connector motor just for that reason. Which reminds me that I need to get some larger shrink wrap to seal those things up before I get too far along here.
