Hi Bob Couple of points to always remember with the Fanuc OT control, ALWAYS leave the turret OFF the Home position when you shut down, I always wind the X and Z axis well away from the "stops" when shutting down for the night. Should always be at least 40mm away from home. Also always turn the feed...

BTW, do you have any idea why it didn't like 320M? I put 128k of additional memory in, thats right isnt it? 128Kb (320 Metres) is the maximum memory for a Fanuc O (M or T) series control, that`s all the system will run, there is usually 4K available by default on the main board and 4 spaces for the...

Thanks Graham

Knew it was some kind of "override"!!!!

The problem being that if i set G54 in the program and set No00 to x-50 it will move to x-50. as it should and treat it as a work offset which is good. Now if i put g55 and no01 to x-100. the machine goes to x-50 That would explain things then Rob if you dont class No 00 as an offset........ :lolol...

The controls all have a built in number that is recorded by Fanuc, and yes they do KEEP RECORDS FOREVER!!! :loads-a-money: :ReallyMad: :loads-a-money: :ReallyMad: Never mind ay.........lol Will just have to put it back to 00000000 :D Anyways, Both 00001010 and 00000010 work and have now got me work...

No idea what the other 1 in the string might be as I don`t have the list of 900 parameters for that particular machine, they are all "options" to with what is set to be available to that machine control to use. If there are no other suggestions then probably best to only try changing the second from...

. I bought one of these to replace the top keypad, proper buttons, probably never need changing ever as long as not damaged, really nice to use as well!!!!! I thought it was a bit expensive till I fitted it, worth every penny!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Keysheet-Keypad-FANUC-0T-A98L-0001-0518-T-Replace...

PPS. Do I assume new key pad covers are also very expensive ?Some of my buttons have cracked and fallen of, gone brittle with age and lack of use I guess, The most commonly used, clear error, program etc bob Very expensive!! Top keypad Fanuc part number A98L-0001-0518T is €60.00 Euro Lower Operator...

Can anyone recommend a free DNC program suited to the Fanuc and preferably Heidenhain controllers please. Ideally should work with both, if not, just work on the Fanuc, A google search throws up loads of them, but which one to chose, nothing like a recommendation. Bob Choose one that will "drip fee...

Hi Rob Thanks for the photos. My mistake, Z axis, it is the plug in the first or top picture. Interesting that your plug is angled upwards, as opposed to my one, which points downwards, so the cable drags itself along the bottom of the machine, probably causing the problem I experience. I think I w...

Bob The 416 alarm is an X axis encoder alarm, from the Fanuc OT-B "Bible":- >>An error in the position detection system of X-axis pulse coder (break alarm)<< Here are a couple of photos for you, which of these (if any) is the connector you are referring to?? FYI Plugs and cable are available prett...
