That’s why I asked, I know with the old slow flow co2 lasers, the Coherent S48’s used P-Pole Splitter with plasma tubes parallel to the floor and the Photon V505 used S-Pole which had plasma tubes mounted perpendicular (90 degrees) to the floor. I believe our Sealed beam used S-Pole Splitters...
Been a while since I’ve done this. I think if laser is mounted Horizontally I need a P-pole and vertically an S-Pole, but I’m not 100% sure.
Thanks in advance
We purchased a CUSB-14R with a Cubloc CB280 Cpu, I downloaded the studio and I can set up an input with no issues in the ladder, but there is no operators for setting up an output or a delay for that matter. was going to use it to automate a door interlock so that the operator wouldn't have to...
Lots of good starting points for me, I never even thought of using a pid controller. I need to dig into the schematics I guess to see what amplifier the analog input is using and also the ic the laser is using.
The controller is a 1980’s vintage Anorad Anomatic II which is no longer supported...
I work on really old CNC/Laser systems and noticed that when I use my analog input of 0 to -8v that when the laser it is feeding loads the signal down quite a bit. -8v becomes about -2v. These two pieces of equipment do not normally work together, but I have every other function working...
After a lot of googling it appears the pros of not using them is a non ferruled connection is generally more secure and flexible. A ferruled connection’s advantages are less issues with stray strands, oxidation and somehow also less noisy.
It’s google though, so I need to research more.

I do Field Service, so I fix a lot of machines by finding a loose connection. quite frequently it is a loose connection and more often then not one that has a ferrule. rarely do i find a loose wire that is stranded.
Would really like to know everyone's opinion on this.

Looks like I got in over my Head, I had used Click PLC's before so thought I could handle this project.
Goal: Use a capacitance sensor module that produces a 0-10V signal to determine position and maintain it. The sensor uses an Analog output where 1V = 1mm. If has an Analog Input used as a...
I've seen stressed output couplers on fanuc resonators do that as well as stressed lens. The symptom on the output coupler is at high demand like 3800-4000 watts power can't keep up and you see actual power drop a couple hundred watts over time. We will then set demand low enough that it won't...
As far as your Mirror Cleaning, I think you are getting that because you are low on power, are all your lanes firing? have some been disabled? if they have been because of RF/DC units, then you wont be able to get that message to go away. Been a while since I worked on this machine, but pretty...
Your Base Discharge is too high, if you have the Fanuc manual adjustment procedure is in there. Our Manual is B-70125EN/03 Section 9. Basically after you setup the parameters you adjust VR11 with 0 power commanded until discharge stops then back off until it just blinks on. You may trip breakers...
Anyone do this? whats quick and easy method? Test paper?
We have an Amada FO3015 with an Orion 15000 Chiller we periodically put ISOGARD in. It be nice if their was a cheap effective method of keeping the water at right level. Fanuc Manual suggests 1000ppm using some test paper that comes with...
Sparky,
It does have physical home and limit switches. 3 micro switches on front of beam nozzle assy that get actuated from dog as focus travels up or down. I found this in a word document in our amada folder on our network, no idea where it came from (probably here) its for different system...
We got it going with Amada's help, though not sure it's most efficient way (he wasn't sure either)
Our FO3015 has the B-Axis parameters saved by battery backup, looks like batteries must of failed.
This morning it started with an alarm 300, then in process the axis got jogged into a hard limit...
We are getting this message this morning, looking for procedure now, if anyone has it I would greatly appreciate it. If I find it first, I will post it.
Thanks
