Replacing an air line to my automatic tool changer on my CNC Milling Machine.

How I start my Fanuc OM based CNC Mill. How to get started or use an older Fanuc OM based mill. I purchased a used CNC mill and have been using it successfully for over a year. For DIY type operation, it’s been reliable and capable. Excel VMC mills, in particular, seem to be very reliable, easy to work on and I’ve been able to source parts. I use Fusion 360 along with custom post-processing to my DNC to make parts. The oil absorbers I use are at: https://amzn.to/2CGWHbu

Machining the topside of the PCB enclosure. A tool is dropped by the ATC and the first use of the Fanuc LCD Upgrade for the CNC mill. Tool change fails.

How to adjust your Fanuc CRT control screen. I also upgraded my monochrome CRT to a color LCD. This is an update for my home shop vertical machining center with Fanuc controls. The LCD is much easier to read, with color, and much lighter in the swing panel.

I lost T17 somehow in my Fanuc om CNC mill. It would not change to T17. Here I go over troubleshooting it and how I fixed it on the vertical machining center.

Finish the top side of the vise job and show how to fix the ATC after forgetting to turn on the air.

How to replace a worn Fanuc Keysheet. This is on a fanuc om series 9" CRT. Keysheet keeps cutting fluids and other things out of the machining centers controls.

The way I setup positive tool offsets using the spindle face as the makeshift gage line. This is on a Fanuc OM based Excel VMC.

Just a quick video of testing going from CAM software to a DNC controller (USB Stick) to the mill (Fanuc OM).

First chips and using the Ausys Titan DNC controller via RS-232 for drip feed, programming, and downloading parameters.

Troubleshooting one of he last items on my check sheet before machining. The automatic tool changer.

I hooked up three phase power from an American Rotary AD-20 phase converter to the new to me Excel PMC vertical cnc mill. Repairs were made to the machine’s door slide and inital Fanuc troubleshooting of a servo drive error ended up being a fiber optic cable that had disconnected during shipping.
