Bridgeport 760/t16 need param

[jke6113]

Hello,

i have a bridgeport machine that had a hdd failure and lost everything, I replaced with a new solid state drive and have had no luck with getting machine running right. If any one knows about this machine i could use some advice.

thank you

Assuning you have a DX control and NOT a Heidenhain control:
The software for the 760-16 is different from the software for the 760-22. Yours uses a air cylinder to move the tool carousel in and out. The 22 uses a motor.
Check to make sure I am correct about this.
After that, you have to set the orient position, the tool change height, backlash and the spindle speed and encoder parameters. This may be in the maintenance manual and I may have a start up sheet explaining some of this. After all, this goes back 20 years.
I do not know when I will be in the office next to check.

thank you for the quick reply, the machine does have the dx control and it is an air cyl tool changer the only motor is the one that rotates the tool changer.
