Re: Rigid Tapping Issue on Harrison Tu150 Fanuc OT-A

It is possible to do rigid tapping on a TU150 fitted with an OT-A control.

We only fitted spindle speed encoder & not a position encoder.

Re: Machine plans help

Can you post a copy of the program please.

It sounds like it will be due to the depth of cut with the second pass slightly deeper.

Re: Issue with old Novamill and VR Milling 5

It may be down to the internal RS 232 lead.

It would be best to make up a 9 way to 9 way lead to connect the machine directly to the computer.

Re: Spindle control

What machine do you have?

I am not aware of the 6000 Diagnostics.

Have you set Diagnostic 453 bit 0 to 1?

Re: Triac vmc draw bar

You will need to adjust the tension as per the attached link with a tool in the spindle.

Re: Novaturn. M4 comand??

Hi David

The spindle reverse was never an option on the Novaturn.

The M3 & M4 commands will both run the same way.

Re: Z issues

I presumed you still had the original control fitted.

I would look at keeping the axis drive signals as far away form the spindle drive & spindle motor wires as possible.

Re: Interlock is tripping.

We are in Brighouse, HD6 1QF

We would not be able to test it with it being converted to Mach 3.

Re: Interlock is tripping.

It would be unusual for the E-Stop switch to short out.

Do you have a electrical meter you can use to test the 24Volts DC supply & see if it is being dragged down?

Re: Interlock is tripping.

It does look like the 24volts DC is being shorted out by something.

With it being updated to Nach 3 I am not sure where to suggest to proceed.

Did you upgrade the machine yourself?

Re: Interlock is tripping.

Yes if it is the coil causing the issue.

It could also be the zero speed output from the spindle drive.

Se how you get on.

Re: Interlock is tripping.

If you remove wire number 90 from the GIR that will disconnect the guard solenoid.

It may also be worth checking the diode fitted inside the Guardmaster switch.

Re: Interlock is tripping.

It sounds like something may be shorting out the 24Volts DC.

It may be worth disconnecting one of the wires going to the guard lock solenoid.
