Re: The buttons along the bottom ofthe Fanuc screen

They are Fanuc options, if you have the original parameter list check it against the settings in the control.

Did Starturn 4's circa 1990 have a choke?

Did Starturn 4's circa 1990 have a choke? I have a machine that has no choke and I can not find a matching drawing for it. It has a green Control Techniques ASP-5 spindle board and what I think is an opto isolation 0-10V card. Can anyone shed light on this and should there be a choke. There is also ...

Re: Alphacam post for Denford Cyclone

I will work as long as you do not use the canned cycles in Alphacam, The 6T post is single line canned cycles, the 0i,15 18i and 21i are all 2 line canned cycles unless you have the F15 option installed in the control.

AC2/106 Spacer Drawing

Hi,

I have been helping a friend rebuild a basket case Cyclone and the spindle spacer is missing AC.2/106

Is it possible to buy one of these or is there a drawing available so we can make one.

Thanks
Graham

The Fanuc 15,18 or 21 post should work fine.

Triac ATC

Has Denford ever made or designed a larger capacity tool changer for the Triac with the BT30 spindle, a 16 tool maybe?

Re: TU150U in need of TLC

Here is a picture of the external tool coolant nozzle.

The only issue I had was it firing coolant down the spindle bore so I have a plastic bung in the back end now.

The lathe is working great and I am happy with how its turned out.

Re: 4th axis for mill

If you are engraving on the centre line you can use a direct drive, but once you move from centre the cutting force is multiplied by the distance from centre so you need a proper worm and wheel type. The cutting loads with drilling and milling is far too great for any other type. There are some nice...

The control only has a very small memory 8K so I was wanting to run programs from the SRAM card I have (48MB) like on the machines at work. On those machines I just put a sma...
