Hi All,
I have a Kitamura My center 1 with Fanuc 6 OMC controls and have a few questions.
(1) The machine is a 4 axis and wired for 5th indexing by M-code. When I purcesed the machine a few years back a technician removed the 4th per my request and turned off the 4th in the NC. The A axis doesn't show up on the position page and did when the 4th was hooked up. I'm assuming a parameter was changed to disable the 4th and if so what one so I can turn it back on.
(2) How can one add more ram to the machine? Also the machine was setup with DNC does anyone have instructions on how to use it? Two years ago I used the DNC once and forgot what I did. Also I lost all the parameters and loaded the factory parameters back in when I did only one axis would move at time, the Z rapids would only move at half speed the machine was set to incremental things of that mature not sure if it has anything to do with any of my qestions.
(4) When I touch off tooling I set tools from a three inch gage block from the table then measure from the top of the part to be machined to the gage block and offset my Z axis G54. How do I changed the parameters to ignore the Z axis G54 offset when touching off a new tool? As of now if a tool gets dull I have to re-zero the Z axis G54 when home, touch off the tool, then put my Z axis G54 offset back in.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
