This is a short video showing how to start a spindle on a CNC Mill with a Fanuc 0M controller. The commands issued is M03 S500; which issues a anti-clockwise rotation at 500 RPM. Machine: Kiwa Excel Colt 510
I have same machine, have you ever have the tool changer get stuck trying to pull tool out of spindle? Had to adjust the bolts on bottom of tool carousel
Sometimes the toolholder gets stuck, because its worn out and gets stuck to the taper. I usually just give the holder itself a few taps from a wrench while its in the removal cycle to unstick it. However I have a twin arm changer, so I'm uncertian how it differs from the umbrella style.
The 0-M controller I have on my machine can accept a maximum of 128kB of memory. However, you can stream very large programs to your machine (called 'drip feeding') over the I/O serial port with something like this: dncdevice.com/products/micro-dnc-2 Also there are some freeware software packages that allows you to do the same thing with a laptop. Google searching 'cnc drip feed' should bring up multiple options.
Hi Ben. I have a excel 510 fanuc 0-m controls. Would you mind sharing parameters with me ? I got the 900-920 set. But I haven’t had any luck getting my spindle and tool changer to work. Thanks
Hi Derek, I have a video of all my parameters. You can see it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_7Dg0vUeFpA.html . Spindle orientation is a tricky beast, what happens when you issue the M19 ( tool orientation ) command? Also, I have a 2 arm tool changer, not the umbrella style.
@@benkokes if I put the 905 parameter you gave my machine throws alarms. I have tried the m03 s50 to start spindle and nothing happens. I haven’t tried the tool change yet
Would you happen to have the diagnostic parameters. I have all my others in I think I’m missing a couple simple parts to making my machine work. I bought it and the batteries were dead. Having to start over.
