When checking the .fnc file, there is a G20 (inch output) at the beginning of the machine code. We changed that to G21 (metric output) and now the .fnc file runs perfect. If you are using MasterCAM, make sure you check the .fnc file for the proper G20 (inch) or G21 (metric) code near the top of the ...

Micromill 2000 When trying to run a .fnc file created in MasterCAM (designed in metric & following the instruction for the post process), We got an "Exceeds Limits" error. After checking offsets and everything , we noticed that the values of the X,Y, & Z moves where alot larger than the original des...

Which Denford programs will work with the Techno Post processor??

Thanks

The machine is up and running now. The relays were unplugged and re-intstalled and the fuse on the control card was removed and reinstalled. Possible loose connection. Red LED Display.

The F3 is a 6.3amp fuse (Radio Shack P/N 270-1068) First look at the 3 large transistors mounted on the heat sink of the control card. Look for any cracks or holes in the face of the transistors(holes or cracks = card shot), if they appear OK then continue on. Check the fuse (6.3amp) on the control ...

Microrouter Compact Serial Number: UOO442/15 Control Software/Version Number: VR CNC Milling/ 2.31.3.951 Dispatch Date: April 2004 The control transformer output fuse (F3) blows just after starting the machine. Before blowing however, the LED display shows an 8 so everything is starting up ok until ...

The switch, the spindle motor, the fuse or the spindle speed knob control may have gone bad. Check/replace the spindle fuse first, also check for any loose or cracked wires in the spindle circuit. Check voltage at the spindle speed control card with a volt/ohm meter. I checked the voltage on a machi...

Micromill Std.

Turned spindle switch to "ON" position and spindle motor "stuttered" on-off. Turning spindle switch on & off several times seemed to help.
Now the spindle will not turn on at all.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We have a Micromill with a communications error.

There is a “0” on the Denstep LED Display, according to the manual it is a “No comms board address fault”.

How do I correct this and get the machine up and running??????

Thanks for any help.

A few settings we changed that speed the machine up a little: In the fanucm.ini file. (look in C:\Denford\Config ) [Micromill 2000] MAX FEED=11.8 change to 19.0 In the VR Milling software under the Setup tab, select Setup Machine Parameters Under Micromill 2000, select FEED MAX CONTOUR FEED 300 chan...

Micromill 1999 VR Milling v2.31 MillCAM Designer v2.22 Recently upgraded computer and software from Windows 98 to Windows XP.

We have 2 Novaturns with problems. On 1 the spindle only runs forward. The M4 code for reverse is enabled, nothing happens when the M4 code is clicked on the Control Panel. On the other machine the spindle only runs in reverse when M3 is clicked and nothing happens when M4 is clicked. Both machines ...

What do I need to change to run the Compact 1000 with VR Milling v2.31?

Finished wiring the 4th axis control card in. Did not install the Capacitor or the Rectifier Bridge from the MicroRouter Compact. Added the jumper wire to pin5 in the 9pin XL2 connector and ran it to pin1 TB10 (+5vdc). Added the wire to pin9 in the 9pin XL2 connector and ran it to pin6 Conn. 8 PCB c...

On the 16-way IDC connector, there is a gray wire going to pin7 on the 9-pin X2 connector and a red wire on the IDC going to pin6 X2. The 5 volt lead from pin1 TB 10 goes to pins 1 & 2 on the 9-pin X2. Do I need to add a jumper for the 5v lead to pin 5 X2? Do I need to add a lead to pin9 x2 (labeled...

The control card must be the problem, on the card the middle transistor on the heatsink has what appears to be a small hole or crack also. What do I do now, and how much do you think it will cost.
