Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Hello Rayno
I took the pci card out about 3 times, spray and clean it with "Electro Kleen". As soon as the super Control start up, the fault light on the Siemens profibus (encoder) comes on.
This is also a C40 model, that Jireh bought new from Thermwood in 2006.
I tried to move the pci card to ...

Good evening.
We are getting the following error: Siemens feed module fault (via profibus)
Z axis feed module faulted.
Also on the Siemens encoder inside the cabinet the red light is on.

Any ideas?
The ...

If you have a on board video card then swap the motherboard out just to see if it work, if you PCI graphics card then swap that out. Seems to me you have faulty motherboard.

Good afternoon.
First they can try clean up the c: drive. Delete all temp files and internet files. Uninstall programs that is installed on the c: drive that they do not use anymore.
Cheers

Will do that thank you.

Good afternoon.
Got our machine in 2006, and our HDD has gone corrupt in 2015 (failure). We bought a SSD (128GB) I install it and boot with the recovery cd that we got with the machine in 2006. So now it's got Win XP Pro on, but I can not activate it, it just take you to a windows webpage where you ...

So there is no explanation for it, or something that I can do about it? They should take it out of the carving library then so someone does not have to go red face back to the client and tell them I can not machine it.
Cheers

Good afternoon.
Try to do this carving on our machine, but it run dead slow (feed speeds) it will take a week for it to complete. My feed rate override is set at 100%. It is like there is a G809 or G810 in there some where. The Feedprogram is set at 200. I suppose that is iches.
Any help or advise ...

Imperial!! Then you are going to have to make more changes. My tool 990(fly-cutter) is in the same tool holder (B1) than my tool number 1(T1). If "T1" is not in the spindle head, I do the following:
F5, F3..(new part program), give it any name, then hit "enter"
F1, F5..type "T1 ...

Good afternoon ,Scot
I have modify the original fly-cut program, so it ask you the length(x-axxis) and width(y-axxis) of the material you want to fly-cut. It works from the G902, so your material must be in the fence location.It works like the original program, the machine index over the table, you ...
