Triac Spindle (Issues)

Having had some issues with connectivity (documented in a QuickCAM thread, I’ve had some success… yay!) I can now connect to and drive the axis from the laptop. This includes by home and jog functions. I can operate coolant pump etc, so machine and laptop are talking. I’m struggling with the spindle...

Re: QuickCAM License Cost

It seems the ‘device’ is essentially a surge protector for the PC. (Unless someone can correct me!) Tried with a 12v psu, but no difference in connecting. Have run through the machine types and getting closer… Looks like it maybe a pc issue now? Need to make a usb look like the com1 port…? Maybe! St...

Re: QuickCAM License Cost

Thanks for replies guys. Martin - yes. The machine is running a Eurostep controller card and has been USB upgraded at some point. I have tried to identify the EPROM but may be missing something, as the boards do not look like any I’ve seen on other posts… There is a USB lead coming from the MINT car...

QuickCAM License Cost

Can anyone advise how much the license costs for QuickCAM for milling? Or if there are any of the older versions that are license-free? I’ve contacted Denford technical and sales with other questions and I guess they aren’t supporting those with older machines, as I’m yet to get any replies (from 3w...

Re: 1995 Triac Software (Advice needed!)

Will do 👍🏻
Collect the machine next Friday, so will be a few days…

(Excuse my utter ignorance… how do I identify the control card and what is the eprom plus how to identify it?!)

1995 Triac Software (Advice needed!)

Having purchased a 1995 Triac VMC, I need to source Control, CAM and perhaps even CAD software. (Unfortunately the college from which I purchased the VMC couldn’t provide this). It looks like they ran it on VR5, but there is no longer anyone familiar with the Denford to confirm this. Can anyone advi...
