Need help with a Bridgeport Series2 Interact 4

[Russellcw]

Trying to set up a Bridgeport Series 2 Interact 4 W/heidenhain 151 control, we have the manuals for the cnc but nothing for the Mill, cant get the mill to function, manual mode etc, any one have any ideas, or can we get a copy of a owners manual for the mill? thanks Russ

What exactly is not functioning on your machine. Do you have any error messages on the display when starting machine?
Have you tried contacting Bridgeport for the machine manual and their service section on tips how to get the machine running?

Does the machine power up? Is the right voltage being supplied to the machine? If so , are the machine parameters still resident in the controller memory? Dead batteries? I have two of these machines and have some experience on them. I have manuals, but both my controllers are Heidenhain 2500. I have the smaller Bridgeport Interact 1 Mk 2 that has a Heidenhain 151 . I also have manuals for that machine.

I have a bp interact II series II with a heidenhain tnc 2500 control. Having the same problem. control works but mill does not. spindle starts but goes forward with both m03 & m04 command. coolent pump works but cannot get any of the axes to move. could use some help. I don't know if it is a parameter problem or an electrical problem. I do not have a set of parameters for this machine.
