I have 91 fadal vmc6030ht with 88hs control.

Now for the fun part. I have a part that I need to make that I need 30.3 of travel. Is there any way to change the control to get the last .3 out of the machine.

Thank you.

Cheat--
Simple answer--- No. The stroke limits on the Fadal Control is controlled by software limits on the e-proms on the axis controller cards. Changing the travel limits in the SETP parameters will not give you what you want.

I have ran parts with similar problem, what I ended up doing is machining half of the part move and finish, if this is possible. So setting a stop. Breaking the one program into 2 operations.
Good Luck

there is a way
you can play with the CS
and ge about 2" for each side
little danger but possible

Can you set up diagonally (corner to corner) across the table?

Why couldnt you go into your control and set the machine to 8030 and then jog your X axis after CS and see where the stroke hard limit is located? Would this put too much strain on the motors/ballscrew/nut/amp?...oops worng axis ...sorry

Well ended up buy a really big pic of alum and shifting the part 4 time to make it. It worked but I only wanted to shift the twice the over all part was 30.05x72.25 i got the job done just not as fast as I want too. Good thing it was a T&M job.

Thank you for your input
