Bridgeport 1000/22 TNC370 Lube Cycle Parameters

[BetaBob]

We bought 2 BP VMC 1000/22 w/ TNC 370 controllers earlier this year. 1 has a lube cycle time of 10 seconds every 30 minutes and the other has a cycle of 20 seconds every 5 minutes.
Can anybody provide me with the Machine Parameters that adjust these times? I've downloaded all of the documentation I can find on the TNC 370 but none of them list these parameters.

Thank You

They are in the service manual which I downloaded from the heidenhain website

Computer is glitching right now so cannot post them, but all I can see is that 4060 deals with travel dependent lube

It may be in the plc not the parameters

Thanks Gus.

I have downloaded the manual for the TNC 370 and the 4060 parameters have something to do with "automatic lubrication". However the parameters are all "0"s on both machines and they have different cycles. I never thought about the times being hard coded into the PLC. I had read in another thread that the times were set by a MP but they didn't specify which one(s). I sent a message to the memebers on the thread but have not heard anything back.

call rick at heidenhain service in Schaumberg

if it is plc he won't be able to help, but you can read and edit the plc but it can be daunting

From my service tech in Tenn:
Try this….



4110.5 time between lube cycles

4110.6 time out limit for lube to reach pressure

4110.7 lube on time

Thanks George:

That corrected my problems. Now all I need to do is get everything backed up.
