10:59 were i you, i'd change all the fans in all the hardware portion. Even if those are quality fans, they're old by this point and they're not operating at full tilt anymore. Same same replacement. It's cheaper than whatever might break without efficient cooling. As is, you'd still have to take each fan apart and clean it, as an alternative, so you're better off taking account of each one and swapping it out for a fresh one.
Probably not a bad idea, but at the same time there are temperature monitors all over these machines in the controls. If it gets too hot, it will shut off and throw an error. Unless you do something really dumb, it's actually pretty hard to kill modern CNC stuff even from lack of maintenance.
@@TommiHonkonen even in the 90s (or earlier) CNC manufactures integrated a shit load of sensors for protection for critical parts. I think it was selling point but now it's standard for everything.
@@TommiHonkonen If you buy a 2k04 machine vs a 2021 machine, I don't think much has changed with any of the hardware - only thing that's really different is the software and the UI, and the main processor that runs the UI is newer. Is a 2004 Fanuc servo drive much different than a 2021 Fanuc servo drive? Now if you compare a 2004 servo drive to a 1990 servo drive, or a 1985 servo drive, there'd be major differences in each.
Changing to inch * Go to setting screen *Change from metic to inch *enable parameter write enable *put machine in MDI *hit system hard key *hit the parameter softkey(may have to right arrow softkey to find) *change parameter 1401.0(RFO) =1 *disable parameter write in setting screen *zero reference all axis.
Who the hell would give this a thumbs down? I waited like forever for this video! I really can't wait to see it in action! So what do these machines cost new? And how much did they want for it being like 17yrs old? Does fusion even have a post for a machine like that? Oh and takes for not breaking All the stuff up in a million videos! Great entertainment! 👍
I would give a thumbs down. They probably killed the bearings in those fans with the ultrasonic + isopropyl soak. Because ONLY adding the oil to the ones that felt odd or slow, sure as hell has sentenced the rest that didn't get the treatment. Correct minimal procedure would have been to at least remove the fans blades from the shroud, clean everything separately, and assemble back. Nevermind the fact that electronic PCB's don't do well in high power applications after a really thorough soak in water, as FR4 is hydrophilic. The only thing that will save them is the fact that they are sensored, and the controller will detect that the fan is not spinning, even before the thermal protections kick in.
As an FYI for the fanuc fans they have 3 wires like a normal computer fan but unlike a computer fan which uses the 3rd wire for a tacho signal the fanuc has a load sensor on it. As per anything fanuc it's is huge in price but if you put the sense wire to ground it will fire up and run happy as Larry. Just make sure the fans spinning
Whatever the fans are, you can order them straight from someone other than Fanuc and pay a more reasonable price. Those are just NMB fans - read the model number off of them, look up the specs on NMBs site, and order the same part # replacements (or equivalents from another good fan brand) Fans either use the 3rd wire for tacho pulses, or sometimes a PWM input to control the speed of the fan. I've never heard of a "load sensor" in a fan. I would suspect they are regular tach pulses, and the control just makes sure the fan is spinning and spinning fast enough. I don't actually see the model number visible anywhere in the video, otherwise I'd look it up and see what the 3rd wire actually does.
Deadpool mode is very important. Fanuc controls have a legacy of 40 years of "the same but different" control, with minimal incremental updates whenever they decide. In some cases it's nice and familiar, in others it's just archaic. Re: That "big thing" - it's probably a reactor(read: big ol' coil o' copper smooths power), part of the filter to prevent the noisy high frequency servo stuff from going back into the grid or other machines. Time for a ball...cthulhu test to figure out how worn it is?
Hi John, I got my used Robodrill up and running this week and it has the same controller, the learning curve is steep for sure, I already exploded some face mill inserts. Good luck!
Which axes rotate around which axes really made more sense to me when I realized that they *ALL* follow the same convention if you just look up the diagram. IE: A always revolves around X, C always revolves around Z and B always revolves around Y. C is always your *main* spindle.
except I made this comment before finishing the video and now you're jogging the A axis with the C button... neat... ANYWAYS. Just gonna pretend I never saw that.
Great machine. Can be a headache at times with alarms but kicks ass. Used with Gibbscam. Would take the opportunity to switch all machines to metric 😉. Cheers!
The FANUC control will bring up an alarm if the phase direction is wrong or if a phase is lost. Oh, and parameter write enable should be off unless you are servicing the machine and you need to be able to write parameters. I'm not too familiar with the 16i series controls but if there is a Ready Made Macro cartridge on the control it may not work right in inch mode if the macros expect metric units.
I happy for you buddy! I'm really glad you like hiedenhain so much. I know I love it, I figured you would take to it like I did. It's amazing compared to other controls.
Knowing your love of 3D printing, could you print some key caps to replace the hieroglyphics with things that were more easily recognised? Alternatively, you could go the full Grimsmo, reverse engineer the key caps, and make new titanium key caps on the Kern ... 😀
Do research on the G800 codes. G800,G801,G802,G806. They are incredibly powerful and should be used every time on a willemin. I can send info on them if you can't find it yourself
What hsk 40 is it? There is like 100 different letters to differentiate them? I hate how things get to the point where everything is just a hieroglyph and then you have to thing what the meaning is.
Do you put filters on the air that comes into the machine? I saw Fireball tool do that on his new machine. Thanks for the view under her skirt, it's really cool to see the guts of these things 🤘
Pretty much every cnc machine has a filter drier / pressure reg / lubricator device on it (called a FRL for short) on the incoming air. The drier is just a really fine filter media that filters out water and oil vapour, and any other crap that might be coming in on the air. This isn't old heavy iron from the "before times" like the stuff Fireball plays with - that stuff is all standard on any CNC machine, and as far as CNCs go, this machine is pretty new, so I guarantee it has all that standard.
Do those kind of high end machines work in closed loop or open loop ? i.e does the machine always know where the tools are in absolute terms, and is able to correct it in case of belt skipping and whatnot ?
Every good cnc machine is closed loop servo motors - but the loop is closed with an encoder on the servo motor itself, so you can still have backlash in the ball screw or other "motion issues" that that encoder won't catch. Only hobby grade machines run in open loop
"Having to find a Fanuc fan" Is that even an issue? When I needed to replace the two cooling fans above my 21i-T monitor and control unit I made the stupid mistake of trying to source 'cheaper' options, I even went for NMB fans and they didn't work, the control threw up a fan speed error. After too long faffing I just contacted a Fanuc parts supplier and I had the proper fans next day, plugged them in and years later still no issues with them. No the actual fans were not cheap, however trying to be cheap cost me more money. You've just bought a spendy machine, just buy the proper part unless you can find an exact match (same manufacturer and part code). Edit : You do need to take the red fan cover off your spindle motor to clean though, looks pretty dirty and they're supposed to be removed and cleaned annually, those things get amazingly filthy inside.
Great machine but absolutely hate Fanuc. Siemens all the way you could of been cutting metal by now lol. About time you and the rest of America got on board with the metric system anyway!. 😆😆😂😂
Unless there's some kind of hardware that's stuck in our metric, it should be trivial to just copy an existing, equivalent 128's inches based software over this one's. Weird. I've seen more complicated machines get this treatment (different brand, older, without any company support, it was the only existing option to swap them to metric).
It's just a setting somewhere. At least it is in a mitsubishi machine - can't see it being any different on another control like Fanuc. You just go in and change one system parameter and now the display is inches, change it back and it's in metric. Maybe they're confusing the display units with the machine units - you can switch the units the hardware in the machine uses too (encoders in counts / mm or counts/inch) - that's a completely different setting than the display though.
It’s their MSC-505 control I think. It’s Fanuc based. The MAPPS controle was Mitsubishi controls. Celos is a either Mitsubishi or Siemens from what I’ve seen.
@@spikeypineapple552 Very similar to the Makino Professional 5 control which is a FANUC 310i PC-based control running Windows CE with a custom frontend.
Am I the only one that, every time Willemin is mentioned, now has to think of the sea shanty? "Soon may the Willemin come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum..."
