Update on the TL5. Simon has been working on it and we now have X and Z axes moving, spindle turning and the tool turret indexing and most of the IO working. To give an idea of the work involved, Simon has been at it for 7 weeks full time. He is a Mechatronics engineer, new to Mach3 but I have been helping him out with lots of stuff. The big problem is the lack of complete documentation and working on a machine that has a had a few undocumented changes and repairs over the years, plus the whole Fanuc 2000 and spindle controller and drives are so old they are like they from a different planet the way stuff was done. Any way we are using the original Fanuc servo drives and Mitsubishi spindle drive. Currently we have issues with not seeing mpg input in mach3 (shows up as bit changes on the input lines in DSPMC status window) and figuring out a screen set to work with the existing hard switches on the old operator panel. Any help appreciated.
