Re: Fanuc controller specification required

Many thanks for the info but what I need is information to my specific machine. There is a servo fault requiring a replacement board. The service manual I have lists all of the Fanuc equipment and part numbers but its for the incorrect controller. The only way I can get over the problem is for the s...

Fanuc controller specification required

Do you have any information or a copy of the manual for Cyclone no H01164/1 built 2001 with GE Fanuc 21i-T control. The manual supplied with my machine is not for this model. I have a servo error and need details of the Fanuc equipment installed on the machine.

Programming software

I am new to cnc and input my program via the Fanuc controller key board on my Cyclone. Can anyone recommend any free programming software that would allow me to create the program's on a laptop and upload to the machine?

Re: reference procedure to zero axis

If you mean the X+, X-,Z+ and Z- buttons then nothing happens. All I get is the EMG flashing on the screen.

Re: reference procedure to zero axis

I have replaced the batteries but where do I position the drives to zero them? Do I have to manually drive them untill they hit the switches then change the parameters?

reference procedure to zero axis

Denford Cyclone with Fanuc 2li control. It has a switch on the machine bed and I have asked Denford to confirm if this is a reference switch or an over travel switch. The battery alarm came on and despite changing the battery it triggered a 300 alarm and now requires the x and z axis to be reference...

air chuck conversion

I would like to fit an air chuck to my Cyclone, either a collet type or a 3 jaw. Has anyone else done this conversion and if so where did you buy the chuck from? Were the original air chucks supplied with the machines made by Denford or an external supplier and if so are they still available?

Collet chuck or power chuck wanted

Collet or power chuck with through hole wanted for Denford Cyclone but interested in anything that could be modified to fit. Chuck, draw bar and rotary closing mechanism required or pnuematic self contained type. Would also consider non working complete machine if you do not want to remove the parts.

Re: Cyclone tool setting

Also forgot to say that when machining the X axis diameter of the components creeps up and I have to keep resetting the offst to compensate. I have checked to make sure there is nothing mechanically loose and all seems ok.

The tool position was eventually set using the touch technique and then using the tool offset page and keying in the position plus the work dia after...
