That was the ticket. Thanks!

Got a new to us machine recently. (MAM72-25V) The previous owners appear to have been using 8 digit program numbers. Gives me a headache to look at all the leading zeros in the program folder example - O00001111 Anyone know the parameter to change it back to 4 digit? Like O1111

I jinxed myself replying to this. One of our 840Di's went down yesterday. Fvcking POS takes 15 minutes to power down and power up...which you gotta do several times to diagnose. 6 hours later finally figured out the MCI card sh!t the bed. Matsurra really dropped the ball with these. They really don't support them and defiantly don't stock any parts.

Comparing a 15+ year old Siemens/Yasnac red headed step child to a modern Fanuc isn't exactly fair. Our older V-Max 5ax with the 840Di ran circles around our first generation MAM72-63V with the 30i That being said, if never saw an 840Di control on a matsuura again I would be way happy. Unsupported by either Siemens or Yasnac. All tech support is done via tribal knowledge, Pray you don't have a drive go bad...it could be MONTHS to get a replacement,

I did track it down, tried restarting...but it (null) still kept the license. Ordinarily that computer's Host Name is something conventional. The problem is not tied to that one computer. I have seen it to a few different workstations.

I have been seeing this a little bit. Every now & then on our Nethasp it picks up a license being checked out by no one...and list the connection as "null". Problem is that ties up a seat and makes it unusable. The only way I have found to clear that connection is to restart the server, interrupting the work of 10 other seats. Is there any way to clear that connection without restarting?

Recently picked up a new to us Mori NZ2000 T3Y3 machine. The high pressure pump it came with is only plumbed to run high pressure into 2 of the turrets. It is a single pump unit & the way it is hooked up is it can run to just turret 1 or turret 1 & 2. It cannot run turret 2 by itself, and it is not even hooked up to turret 3. We want to be able to have all 3 turrets able to function independently. On our 2 turret NZX, we have a double pump unit. very easy to understand how that works..... I have seen the 3 pump models which are way slick but also way expensive. What have you guys seen/used?

They do offer software licensing. Tho I think you have to deactivate the license on your work computer before you can activate it at a different location.

I have seen this error too many times to count. Closing mastercam & restart seemed to clear it up...till the next time it happened. I will try moving/deleting these files.

I doubt it will happen, but a NTY3-250 Most likely we will get another Mori NZX (2 turret) It is a shame Mastercam MillTurn doesn't support 3 streams (at least to my knowledge)....which was one of the thoughts on looking at the Nak. Camplete would solve that part of the equation.

Just reaching out to see if anyone has used this. I have used Truepath with great results for our Matsuura's, but all I have seen with the TurnMill is some pretty impressive looking demo's. That being said, a demo is a demo & not necessarily what one see's in the real world. Any opinions?

We had the same problem with our 330's. Is the attached pic the alarm that comes up? It was really odd and frustrating, a Y axis alarm during a tap cycle when values were in the WSEC table. In our case it was a Fanuc issue that was resolved with a software update.

I imagine it would be the same scenario if one lost their physical key/hasp 2 years after being off of maintenance. What that would entail....I hope to never find out.

I wonder about this. Say I go off of maintenance for whatever reason. 2 years later my computer fries. With a physical key/hasp, no problem. With it being a software license and it was never "deactivated" before the computer died...do you get a hold of your ex-dealer to get things reactivated? Or are you going to have to pony up some $$$ to get it back going?

Yes. When we recently bought a new Mill/Turn environment, we had to move to a software license and turn the old key in.

CNC Software is forcing Mill/Turn users to a software license. My guess is eventually the HASP will disappear. To be fair, with the software license, I can un-register it at work, go home, register it, do some work. Just would have to remember to un-register it at home.

Exactly. Tho it won't work if you don't have your compressor running....or the operator left the E-Stop pressed when he powered down. [edit] Leon Beat me to it....

We have 2 20K Matsuura grease spindles on MX330's. Machine #1 is closing in on 18,000 hours of spindle time, #2 is close to 10,000. Machines run 24/7, the spindles are one area where we have not had any issues (knock on wood). We also have several 20K air/oil spindles....they have been solid. A few are 10+ years old without issues. (not saying that some haven't been replaced...sh!t does happen...and at 20K, it happens really fast) We do run warm-up religiously, auto timers should be standard & not an option.

The Mitsu Seiki looks to have similar bridge construction. They do have a reputation similar to Yasda....dunno if this particular model is a "budget line" or not. It does look very robust & is advertised having .1 micron resolution, also similar to the Yasda. The thing that does raise eyebrows is a machine like that being around the same price point of a Matsuura MX machine.

Between those 2 machines I believe the Mitsu would be more accurate. That machine is more like a jig bore built around a 5 axis table, where the Matsurra is closer to a conventional "C-frame" machine.

I wasn't thinking the whole holder...more just the nut & the collet. Those 2 things seem to collect the tough to clean FOD more than the holder.

I have been wanting to try using one of these for that purpose but have yet to get around to it. https://www.harborfreight.com/25-Liter-Ultrasonic-Cleaner-63256.html

I believe this has been logged as a bug in 2020. Yes, it is frustrating.

There is a parameter that must be enabled that allows transfer from memory card to the data server. Unfortunately I don't have my notes handy & I cannot remember which one it is off the top of my head.
