Well, Peter, after 12 hours close encounter : It might be a version of the machine without cover, this CNC is built on a tradtional lathe setup, just adding servos and a better spindle engline, some sensors and this Sinumerik/FANUC 6 control and that's it ! On the other hand, your machine seems to lack the revolver, so it it different anyway.
Johnny (my coming boss) told me there is a version without metal sheets and that may contribute to the lesser weight as the lack of revolver certainly do. Anyway, I have written a memo because there is of course a number of issues on such an old machine. It's put in my dedicated place for this project so i don't litter this list more than necessary. http://abcnc.se/projects/storebro260.html Ok, then, a few points: The main problem right now is to establish a reliable part-reference point and make it running in a non-singlestepping mode. It would also be nice if the Shift-key worked ! There is a funny thing about the shiftkey: In some versions of FANUC6 /Sinumerik 6T it looks like the shiftkey is absent. In my machine the key is present but the functionality is absent! The manual is lousy too, it's a Sinumerik version translated to Swedish with almost no code examples. Any link to some Sinumerik 6t / FANUC 6T manuals would be appreciated, I have searched for it over internet extensively with no real hits, just scam sites who want my credit card number. / Roger 19 mar 2012 kl. 14:20 Peter wrote: > > > The machine pictured has the same name and number but loks completely > different.
