there isn't enough room to remove the covers...

Holding down JOG didn't work and still looking for the brown fuse in the back. thanks Thad I called Fadal since the machine is still under warranty (only 2 months old), and they said quote: Pull the cover off over the drive and you’ll find the motor, belt and pulleys that drive an arm and cam. Once you get it started moving, you can push the umbrella back by hand. Not very exotic, but less trouble than getting into the control keep relays. not the answer I was looking for...

quote: If the tool changer is still "swung out" under the spindle, sometimes you can just give the umbrella a push and it will go back to where it belongs. no luck, she won't move.

Need help resetting the machine. the tool changer got stuck in the middle of a tool change and i need to reset the carousel back and unload the tool. the machine is a fadal 4020 with fanuc oi-mc controls

Thanks guys, great stuff!! can I get a link to 3R fixtures?

I have been assigned the task to monitor our wire edm department, and make it more run efficient. I have little knowledge about wire edm and am looking for some insight from you wire guys. My background is milling and I have that department running smooth and efficient. We currently have 3 Sodick AQ537L wire edm centers. My question’s are: 1: where would I see the feed rates programmed and running on the machines? 2: what would be a good way to clock work? (they are using the counter, but that means nothing to me) 3: what could I use to increase productivity when setup parts? Fixtures, holding plates?

need help!!!! simple 2d pocketing. i'm chaining a closed pocket and keep getting an error message. "Encountered an improper argument" can anybody explain what this is

austing, I have upgraded to a nividia video card, still have issues

I thought it was because color was spelt wrong. color = colour Dan

Regenerate Display List works, I've been having problems with all the things you mentioned gcode. thanks, just wondering why I have this extra function to do now.

Jparis, same thing.

OK gentlemen, let's see if you can help out a fellow Mastercammer. All I'm trying to do is change the color's of some entities... I first right click on system colors (bottom of my screen, then I highlight the entities to change, click on the green circle(end selection) and nothing...no colors dialog box?. This doesn't happen all the time but enough times that it's starting to annoy me. Anyone else experiencing this? Dan

X4 MU2 is the latest, right.

Is there a service patch for X4 MU2? Our It guy said he recieved an email to download it. Dan

gcode, the designer wiped out all the orginal files (dumb a$$). I have no holes, points anything to use. I thought about a boundary box, but the .stl file has the surfaces extend over the egdes and i don't know how much they were extended and if they were extended equally.
