A factory fresh Mach 1062 VMC
Today we have been working on this stunning factory fresh Mach 1062 VMC with Siemens 828D control. Firstly, we had to configure it for through spindle coolant after fitting an upgraded encapsulated spindle. We did this using HMI Startup with a field PG to update the topology.
Next, we had to configure the machine to run a 4th axis. As the machine uses a Sinamics Combi drive, we had to retrofit an additional Sinamics Booksize module and then modify the topolgy to accept the new hardware.
After setting home positions, ratios and associated machine data, the machine was fully function tested, new backups were made and the machine was handed over ready for it's new owner.

Today we replaced a 2x15A drive on an XYZ Minimill 560 with Siemens 802D control after the X axis failed with a drive fault.
The next task was to overcome a software glitch on another XYZ, this time a 710VMC with Siemens 828D control. After reloading a fresh NC archive, this resolved the issue caused by a corrupt file, which we suspect occurred after a power cut.

Something a bit different from the usual CNC Machining and Turning Centres today is a CNC laser cutter. This Gantry-style laser cutting machine suffered a serious malfunction at our customer’s in the West Midlands.
Unfortunately, a mechanical jam caused a series of drive failures; 1 regulator card and 2 LT modules (power sections) failed as a result. We were able to attend the site, diagnose and fix all of the issues and supply new hardware.
