Hi all,

Is there anyone who knows anything about the Fagor 8055T control on Emco lathes? I've had the machine for a while now, and it has never worked properly. It does all sorts of strange things, flashes up warnings about events that have not occurred, won't feed in X due to apparent software limits exceeded, the list goes on.

I've limited recent experience of CNC turning, (although plenty of time spent on all types of manual machinery) and the type of work I do would not require a production type machine, that's why I opted for a used 'teach in' type lathe. It has all the features I need, plenty of easy to use cycles, but I've had nothing but trouble in trying to get it working. Any help would be much appreciated. The machine itself has had little use, perhaps it's never worked correctly?
The control panel appears to be unique to Emco, although the standard 8055T manuals are still relevant.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who may be able to assist, even if it's to tell me it's had it!!

Thanks,

Northstar.
