Post some pictures of the connections to the control card on the machine.

Does the X axis motor get warm when you power on the machine?

When you try to jog the axis is there any noise?

Does the position display change?

Hi, The problem sounds to be with the communication as suggested. As you had the machine running with the original serial cable I would stick with that. The seven segment display is lit so the controller is powered on correctly. Is there any chance the spindle motor had been overloaded? The gap betw...

Can you check the 4th axis is running in the correct direction? This is the procedure to allow it to be checked. If it is going the wrong way then you need to switch one of the motor phase pairs round. In Jog mode index the 4th axis so the marker reads 0 then click the offset icon so the position re...

I would check that the USB ports are not set to go into power saving mode as this could be the problem. Also static is another big issue so if you are running extraction the dust down the vacuum hose can cause a discharge that would earth through the USB. Compressors can also be a problem when they ...

Thanks for posting this. Nice to have some fresh input.

What version of software are you using?

Have you got turbo turned on on the control panel?

The quick change tool holders can be bought individually or as a set including the collet for the router motor. BI00810DM is the part number for the 1/4" tool holder with a 10mm shank BI00846SRH is the part number for a set of holders and a collet to suit the standard Kress router motor BI00846PRH i...

IMG_0527.jpg The tool rack project allows you to not only store your tools where they are clearly identified but allows you to refit tools and set the offsets automatically. The Long series ¼” Ball Nose Cutter is stored as Tool 1 the reference tool and will have a zero offset the other offsets are ...

John, I would also check the version of software you are using and make sure you have the latest. I don't think there will be an issue with the power. The brake is on the 24V DC rail and the steppers use a 63V supply so they would not effect that. In fact with stepper motors the load is higher when ...

The machine stalled while making the rapid z movement. this could be for various reasons. Have you greased the machine rails as stated in the manual? Disconnecting the brake could be just a coincidence as I doubt that this is the issue. The brake needs to be connected otherwise the axes will fall wh...

A New model added. Snowman 2

Pete,

Do you have QuickCAM 2D Design On the simulation page you can see the direction of cut.

If you click on the cut in question you can reverse the toolpath. Then postprocess

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...
