That is a nice offer Joe. I wouldn't pass that up if I were in your area. I miss the Matsuura at the old shop. Those Machines are great

Got the mill unloaded, It looks good.
Some one has retrofited it to a fagor panel and PLC. It looks like they are still functioning but I think the PLC has no program in it.
Does anyone know where I could find the software to program this?
Also does anyone know where I could find the wiring diagrams for this machine?
Thanks

You might find the wiring diagrams here.

The Fagor Panel I know nothing about.

[joecnc1234]

Yaskawa website has all the connection diagrams on their site in pdf. As far as plc programming goes I have done it a few years back for a simple pick and place machine no fun at all I would contact the manufacturer of the plc and ask for some help they will give you a manual but thats the easy part figuring out what and where to program could take forever I would suggest contacting a local university with an engineering school and getting a student to program it for you or hire a professional. The amount of time savings to get the machine up will pay for itself quicker than trying to do it yourself.

Joe,
Thanks for the info, I was lucky enough to find a print out of the logic in the panel, I am also a PLC programer by trade so programing the PLC should not be an issue, if the manufacturer will give up the software.
Thanks

hi, joe! are you still here? I need your help, i have a mc500v machine with the yasnac m3000 control , there are a tape reader and a communication board in it. I think the borad is used to instead of the tape reader. a serial port rs232 type to pc. do you know how can i use the rs232 port? what is the right setting for it? data bits, parity check, stop bit, baud rate? I hope you can help. thanks tim.

Joe,

You mention the your Matsuura 600 more problems then you other Matsuura's

What kind of problems?

I am looking at a 20 year old Matsuura 600 with a Mx3
control. They are asking $20,000.00 everything is suppose to be in good condition.

The baud rate for dnc is 9600. What kind of feedrates could I expect? I will looking to do 3d machining also.

What is a fair price to pay for a machine like this?

Thank You

I just bought a MC - 500V and havent picked it up yet, I am trying to figure out what kind of power this thing needs to get it running. Single phase, three phase....what?? Does anyone know off hand or have a 500V sitting around they could help me figure this out with? I would really like to save an hour trip to go open up the machine! Thanks.
