To upgrade you would have to purchase an Eprom and the VR Turning software. This would allow you to run on a modern computer. You may be able to buy a USB to Serial adaptor if you don't have a serial port on the PC. The 1812GG is the correct cable but we don't have these in stock so you would have t...

Hi the software license is to the original owner of the equipment and non transferable. However the software can be downloaded from our website so that you are using the latest version. http://website.denford.ltd.uk/software-downloads-support/ The licence file can be recovered from the PC that has t...

Hi, Until you get the router to see the computer and load software through the RS232 port you will not get to know if its working. If the fault that tripped the earth leakage breaker was a spindle short to earth it could have gone to ground through the serial cable too and damaged the RS232 port. As...

Hi, The L indicates that the control software needs loading. See the link attached: http://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=3167&p=16305&hilit=denstep+7+segment#p16305 What happens when you power on the machine and try to connect? Does the software find the machine and start to load the so...

I believe it was a made by Leader Chucks

Hi the Air chuck used din not allow bar to pass through.

The air only opened the jaws and spring pressure closed them. They were supplied with soft jaws that had to be bored to suit the billet.

As Martin says the Porter Cable Motor is a universal motor and can be run from AC or DC.

Yes QuickTurn2D works on Win 10

See the compatibility link on our website.

Copy the font you require in the directory below.

C:\Windows\Fonts

Download the zipped font and unzip it then copy it into the directory.

When you restart 2D Design the font will appear.

All looks good. In 2001 the machine would have had a serial port and no USB. It also had a porter cable motor which allowed variable speed. The upgrade to USB gives improved performance and the Kress spindle motor cannot be controlled by the spindle drive as it has a speed selector switch on the mot...

The link changed when we updated our website http://website.denford.ltd.uk/software-downloads-support/ Download the latest version of VRMilling 5 from the link and install the new driver from the menu on CD. http://www.denfordata.com/downloads/VRMilling_V5_68.zip I would also install the latest vers...

Hi. I posted a link to the circuit diagrams at the beginning of this thread. You should make sure you have the correct values fitted in all of them. Until you have communication set up there is no point in looking at anything else. There are several posts on the serial cable but if you have the orig...

Hi, The fuse on the board supplies the regulator and stepper motors so an 80mA fuse is far too small and will blow. I have checked a smartstep card here and the fuse fitted is a 6.3A F rated fuse (Quick Blow). Fit the correct fuse and all may be resolved. If the fuse still blows with the connectors ...

Which fuse has blown and what value is it. I suspect it is the 24v supply to the smart step control card. Unplug all the connectors other than the 3 way one in the bottom right of the controller then replacement the fuse and power on. Does the fuse still blow? If not start plugging connectors in one...

The controller could be faulty. When you first turn on do any lights come on at all? You could try unplugging the connectors from the card other than the 5 way with the power in. If you then connect it and the lights come on you cancan then connect them one at a time to check if one of them causes a...

Hi. Are there any LEDs lit on the controller card? Also is the 7 segment display lit? Have you checked the fuse on the controller card?

There should be a couple of small flashing leds and the 7 set must be lit.

Resolution will be down to 0.01m

The accuracy is difficult to quantify as this is a potential worse case scenario depending on the tolerances os all the parts.

Repeatability should be within 0.05

I can't see the photos either see below on how to add them.

When you power up the mill the control board should power on and the 7 Segment display should light up. If it does not then the 24V power supply to the unit is not present. I would check the fuses in the panel. A photo of the serial number plate would also help to identify the electronics and circui...
