Hi All. I am hoping to purchase a Denford Cyclone with a FANUC OT 3 phase lathe and run using a phase converter. My questions are as follows: 1. Is it possible to run the machine using a converter 2, What spec converter do I need 3. Would it be easier to convert to single phase (new PSU, drivers, st...

Hi. I would appreciate if anyone could post some images of the Cyclone as I intend to get one in Sept. I am changing from a Boxford 240.

Problem has been fixed. Z lower limit switch contacts were fused together, making the circuit N/O. Removed the switch and reworked. All ok now

Hi. Thanks for the reply. The axes do not move when I press to home the machine.The problem could be a home switch or a cable. I am still trying to diagnose which switch or cable is faulty

Hi. Unfortunately I cannot home any of the axes. I have checked the sensors with a meter and they are all OK. Only other thing it can be is one of the cables from the main box to the sensors.

If I need to change a cable is there any info on how to go about it?

One of the 3 switches or one of the cables going to the switch is faulty. I am a bit puzzled on how to change the switches or cables as the access is limited to the cables which run through the casting (have to take the machine apart to get access). How do I change the switches? Could anyone advise ...

I am running a Triac VMC. It refuses to home. I have taken the various covers to get access to the home/ref switches and none of them are sticking. It may be a faulty cable. Does anyone have any suggestions as to fixing this as I cant run the machine without homing as it has an 8 station tool change...

It was doing around 50mm/min in the video. I couldn't machine much quicker as the part was only held with double sided tape. I reckon it could easily do 1.2m/min if the block was in the vice. Notice also the toolchanger has been raised 30mm for extra clearance when changing tools. I am getting anoth...

I recently purchased a Triac VMC converted to Mach 3 with an 8 station auto tool changer

Could anyone inform me what size motor (HP) the Triac suds pump is? I may get a replacement to have as a spare

I havn't actually carried out the conversion but the man who has will hopefully post a reply explaining. I have since purchased a Triac with a toolchanger from him which will be operated using Mach 3 also. I could use 4 Triac's as they are perfect for my needs and I mostly cut aluminium. I am hoping...

Here are some pictures of parts I have made on the Triac

I make 1/32 scale models for sale, mostly from aluminium and tooling board.

The part being machined in the video belongs to the model of the slurry tanker.

I use Mastercam and Deskproto to create my G Code

I recently purchased a Triac cnverted to Mach 3 from a member on here. Just a link to some videos of the machine

I am very impressed with the machine and am purchasing a second with an ATC.

I will post up videos as soon as I have the machine.

Hi

I noticed the coolant flow is not very strong on my Triac. Is it possible to clean around the pump as there may be excess debri around the filter etc.

Hi I was just wondering what vices would suit the TRIAC PC as it has the enclosure or do Denford sell a suitable vice?
