Emcotronic M1 all you need to know

[faicel]

think you smoregrava for your help



I apologize for my language in English
I also thought as you said to me, this is the test mode,
But I cannot exit this mode, I am going to explain you the problem,
When I switch on the machine all the engines is blocked and nothing move in the mechanical party, and in party of command he is good,
and when I put the manual mode and I move axes, I see in screen the axe move but really he is blocked,

please help me

This seems strange to me you have to be in some kind of test mode. Is there a M1 F1P you have. Because this machine check the position on the steppers so if your steppers don't move you get an error

Have you done Reference search?
Every time you start up you Emcotronic you have to do a Reference search in xyz. Is this working?

Hello;
When I put ref and I click START axes xyz do not move but the alarm of ref position fades

What alarm do you get? Do you have a alarm number? Fades away do you mean your ctr screen goes black ?
If the machine can't do reference search you would not manage to run any program. So have to figure out this issue first.

try to jog all your axes so they is in the middle of the working area. ( A long way to the end switches)

Check your end switched migth be that on of them is not giving signal.

Non la machine ne fait pas la référence, et j’ai une seule alarme qui apparaît au démarrage, (alarme 130 « programme MSD ») mais lorsque je fait reset il disparut et il ne reste aucun alarme,

No the machine does not make the reference, and I have a single alarm which appears to the starting up, (alarm 130 " MSD program ") but when I makes reset he(it) disappeared and he(it) stays anybody alarms,

Hello! Im new to the forum and for that matter new to cnc machining. It has been an interest of mine and finally im able to buy some equipment. Im looking at purchasing an EMCO-CNC milling machine with an M1 controller but at this time they are unable to cause the machine to travel along any axis, nor able to cause the cutter motor to spin. The controller returns "Alarm 90: Chuck/Collet Not Ready" because there is no collet-chuck for the machine. my question is will this be a solution to the problem? By just installing the chuck that is? Im thankful for any/all help, I really want to buy a cnc mill asap and this one seems to be a good deal. thanks, mike

I would be very consern if the people that is trying to sell you this not is able to have the machine to run. And the tool taper for an Emco is a little hard to get also so you should absoluty have the tools that folows the machine.

but of couarse if the price is like very very low then I'll say go for it.

I can't find Alarm 130 in my documentation but programme MSD have to do with the Machine System Data (MSD)

Do you know have your machine been without power for a long time? I belive that there is something wrong with your Machine system data. Then you have to type them in or use a Casette marked with MSD and load the MSD into the machine again. you would not be able to run the machine without the MSD parameters.

Hello M1-users! I don't have the G17 MSD-tape for my controller and F1P-CNC mill. Can anybody give me a tape (I'll pay you) or give me all the parameters i have to type into "MONITOR" on the controller??

It seems like it have been without power for several years now.

I also have a CNC-lathe with a controller from "Multisoft Robotique". Anybody know how to control this too?
