Re: Microrouter V5 settings
I don't know the Microrouter and don't have one to measure but as no one else has replied I thought I would. The documentation says the steppers are 200 steps/rev which is standard so that indicates to me that the pitch is incorrect which should be easy to check with a ruler, 1.575mm would be an odd...

Re: Maxirouter PWM
If the laser information I read is correct then it really wants a PWM input between 5V and 12V with reference to the GND connection in which case tying it to any voltage between 5V and 12V will give you full power as it's effectively a 100% PWM, maybe you could use a voltage to PWM converter. By 'ga...

Re: Maxirouter PWM
Why not use the spindle enable relay (SER) output mentioned in the 3rd post in this thread https://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=2395 to gate your SOUT signal, making sure that when not enabled the power input level goes to 0 for safety. How that is achieved I'll leave to you to determi...

Re: Tom Senior - what have I got?
Have you looked here http://www.lathes.co.uk/senior/ . My neighbour has the same mill although the motor has been changed for a 3 phase motor and inverter from Newton Tesla IIRC. What's the rather tall cover on the top, quite a bit taller than a normal fan housing.

Choco,
I'd be interested to see the files, maybe send as a private message, thanks.

Re: New triac PC project
Great work, it seems you have a very good idea of what you're doing. I hadn't run into those 0-10V isolators before but knew that sort of thing would be useful. What did you do for the Namur proximity sensors? I've traced out the Denford circuit which is quite simple and works but also wondered abou...

Re: New triac PC project
I'm doing this as well at the moment and like you am intending to use the original drives, sensors and motors and use LinuxCNC. It's taken a while but today finished all the material prep for the stand so now have to weld all the bits together next week and get it painted and the Triac on top, fortu...

Re: Viceroy Sharpedge oil?
The RJH link in that topic seems to be dead now, this one looks suitable as they make a similar product to the Sharpedge https://www.rjhfinishing.co.uk/dat_post ... olgrinder/ so I expect would be able to supply or suggest a suitable oil.

Re: Maxirouter PWM
If you look in the NextMove manual, it's easy to find online, it gives the max current output for the 12V at 10mA so it's not going to power your laser and likely can't be turned off while the board is running. I presume you're going to use the laser in place of the router so what about using the SG...

Re: Hoover Motor in Viceroy Lathe
Sounds like it may be the capacitor, if you don't have a meter with a capacitor test range then you could just try and spin the motor shaft manually and see if it starts. If a bad capacitor it should spin up. I've known a few people that got used to doing just that and when the cap was replaced the ...

Re: Another Orac retrofit, re-using spindle encoder?
You may be right about the need for the transistor drive for the inputs to invert the signal and drive the optoisolator, I haven't traced the input circuitry to see how it's wired yet and very little information online about the board circuitry. I think it would be a good idea to drive the original ...

Re: Another Orac retrofit, re-using spindle encoder?
I'm afraid I can't help with experience in the Orac conversion as I'm yet to do this myself but you seem to be doing as I intended at least initially and you seem to have the same BOB so it'll be interesting to see how you get on. Regarding the wiring what you have seems to be correct according to t...

Have you checked the parts diagrams, while I can't see any drawings for any carriage items the tailstock drawing https://www.denfordata.com/bb/download/file.php?id=4114 indicates a standard Elesa part so maybe look here for a suitable replacement https://www.elesa.com/en/elesab2bstoreuk/solid-handwh...

You can often get rebuild kits for the AC Delco pumps at tractor supply places or classic car parts suppliers but these days a new pump may not cost much more.

Re: Enclosure gas strut specs?
I can't help with the spec as mine has no details on the label shown in the image https://industrialgassprings.com/ , that's a US site but their UK office is given as Mitcham.
or elsewhere but the company still seems to be there so maybe will have the details - Thu 09 Dec , 2021 18:53 pm

That does sound like a result and good on you for tracking it down and all being well no recurrence of the issue. I had to look up what VSS was and it sounds like it has a genuine raison d'etre.

Re: Original orac motor
If your Asea Orac motor is the same as mine you may already have found the wiring legend cast into the underside of the wiring cover as Martin noted but here's an image of mine. Somewhat better than the usual paper label I've found degraded in most motors.
