Good morning brother, extremely grateful for the contributions in your channel, I want to know if within your possibilities I could make a video showing all the parts of the machine and see if you can supply me with the connection diagram of the HK MR-20LW video cable.
I've got a pretty extensive list of videos on the machine showing most if not all the parts. The hk cable pinout is likely in fanuc builder documentation which I don't have. I did do a video on the LCD swap.
Hi guys! please help a newbie! I recently purchased a Fanuc Tape Drill Mate Model T CNC milling machine. I don’t know how to make the X Y axes tied, in offsets only the Z axis? Thank you!
Thanks a lot this video explained quite a bit for me. Just got a machine in with the same control. I would absolutely kill for someone to show me even in a brief video an example of a part setup in the vice and getting all of your offsets set and ready to run on the machine assuming using g54. I program with fusion. The menus are just super confusing to me on this control so far. I’m newer to this but am familiar with setting offsets and tool heights referenced off the table. I learned on a haas so this is just confusing for me. Thanks and let me know if you’re able to help me out at all! I’ve been struggling to find someone with experience on the fanuc O-m control to show me how to get a part setup to run.
The OM control isn't too bad once you get used to it. I had HAAS personally before I purchased this machine but had years back run fanuc commercially. Easiest way is to decide on the method (table, gage etc) and build up a workflow. Once you get it down pat you'll mainly only be working with fusion and the machine for zeroing.
@@ShaneBurrell1 So you set your spindle nose essentially zero to the table and then punch the difference with that number and the length of your tool into your tool length offset? That’s how I was taught. On the haas control I was able to just press tool offset measure and subtract my gage block. Then for setting my work height offset just input the number difference with a tool height positioned at the top of my part and input that number. I’ll have to figure out how to input and navigate all of that on this control though.
@@connoreverly8496 Thats pretty much it. The OM just doesn't have the copy function and the option to input the block height. The best way to visualize it is to draw it out and it makes more sense, at least to me. Do you have your tool change working for fusion? That seems to be the next hurdle on the OM.
@@ShaneBurrell1 we have an electrician coming in to get the machine under power then I can start toying with it. I’m gonna look back at your post processing video as well when that starts
@@ShaneBurrell1 So I got the machine up and running and am starting to get the hang of the control. Now for setting your tool heights based off of the table to do you have to enter anything in the (work shift) offset for your z height of your workpiece? Or do you just essentially enter the machine Z position minus your tool height into your G54 or work offset you are using? I’m struggling to find a tutorial of how to enter it on this specific control
There is no advantage in doing this on a 3 axis mill. In fact, if you use the distance from Z0 home position to the top of the table as your tool offset then your Z work offset value is simply the distance from the table up to Z0 on the part.
There are many advantages mostly by preference. The top one is I come from machines that use tool setters which I eventually got for my home shop setup. Another is standardization. I have some shared tooling between machines. I've always found it easier to understand and reference in setups as well. I also really like knowing what the tool length is from the gage line to the tip of the tool is by just looking at tool offsets.

Hello shane burrell I think I lost my parameters for my machine! Do you have the list of parameters!!!!
They are different for every machine. Check to see if you have a paper copy in the panel.
@@ShaneBurrell1 no I already check and nothing… I have a fanuc 0im that’s why I thought We had the same
The 0im is a bit newer than mine.
