New old machine, Need Help updating post

[connormac]

Our company moved to a new building for us. In the move we aquired a new machine. 1986 Monarch VCM 150.

I have the V9 post for it that works in V9. I updated it for X2 mr1. Now it puts the pdrill call outs before the psof$. ???? Help please. I am having to remember how to program in V9 again until I can get this fixed.

Set rpd_typ_v7$ to 0 in the post.

What kind of control does the Monarch have?

[connormac]

Mark Century 2000 control.

I dont know sh*t...I am a expert searcher!

guess I am good with key words.

glad its what you needed!

I've got a Version 8 post that was tweaked in pretty sweet for the GE control if you want it.

 

Let me know and I'll send it tomorrow.

[Greg Williams]

Smit,

 

That would be something that I would love to have if possible, Can you send it to me?

[Keith Graydon]

WooHoo!

We have 2 of these machines, same vintage.

a 75vmc 20 x 40 and a 45vmc 18 x 30 with pallet changer and Reinishaw probe. 20+ years old and that controller still rocks. read/writes are a little slow and storage is limited but that was the norm back then.

that was way ahead of its time,loved that control

Going from the GE-1050 to the GE-2000 was a beautiful thing. It's a shame GE got in cahoots with Fanuc. If GE kept updating their own control it would have been the better than Fanuc's, and the service has always been better.

Was 1050 the one with the Z-Axis being reversed?

BTW, Monarch has some of the best support of any machine builders I ever had to deal with. Don't know about their new stuff, but their old machines were top notch.

[Tim Johnson]

Yeah, the Z was reversed and it took four lines to turn cutter comp on. Our last Monarchs left us for Mexico about five years ago and the maintainance guy is still moaning about how good their support was.
