Newbie- NL 3000 MSX 850III-Help an Iowa Redneck again!

[n8ebear30]

Hello Machinist Gods,

I am training to run a Mori Seiki NL3000 MSX 850III controls, and I was wondering if there is any place I can download a free copy of the Operators Manuals/and any other manuals that I could use to operate and understand this machine better. I am working for a large production company that does not have very indepth training on running the machines they put you on! lol! And I have learned that the operator training you does not have much more than a set up proceedure for that certain part, and alot of prayers that nothing is wrong! From my experience with this-If I am going to work, and run a machine like this everyday for a period of time, I would like to know and learn everything I can! I hope that I can somehow help someone one day on this site like everyone has helped me, I am forever greatful for anything you can direct me to!

Thankx

Also see what you can get from Mori at the 1 800 # 1-877-ASK-MORI
They may have them in PDF possibly.

There should be a CD that came with the machine, although thats a Mitsubishi control, with the Maps interface. Our guys just got back from DTL (mori digital labs) from training, and they did give them a work book there for the CAPS side of the programming. The CAPS is actually pretty useful for programming, since it posts to G code like a cam system. I would try and contact the Mori dealer and explain to the applications dept your plight, they may be willing to help. The tool setting and operation is more like a Fanuc than a mits, thats what was so nice about the maps control. The straight Mits controls can be somewhat tough to learn.

Not having a whole lot of luck yet, but im not giving up! Everyone wants some green anymore for doing anything! lol! Im just not keen on paying for info that seems like it should be open knowledge. Im sure I will come up with something. Again this site is great, and everyone that is on it!

Thankx,
