Hi,

As I understand it the battery is not needed.

1, What computer operating system are you using?
2, What version of Denford Operating software are you trying to use?
3, What RS232 lead are you using?

It sounds as if there is no Analogue voltage out of the Control card. If your machine is a standard Novamill the Control card will be mounted in the top left of the electrical box. The two wires to look at are connected in the bottom left corner of the card directly below the 9 way socket. (Twin wir...

The Orac`s were produced around 1982 - 1986 I think.

ORAC.

The electrics were produced by GSM.

Is there a prize?

Set the material type to Acrylic.

Set the depth as normal.

It may be worth removing the USB lead from the computer then unistalling the ULS software. If you then re-boot the pc & install the software & then plug the USB lead back in & install the drivers.

Parameter 21 bit 4 is the E-Stop monitor.

It will be a 0 when in fault & 1 when ok

"Not Ready" means you have a Emergency Stop error.
Is the E-Stop button out.
Try pressing & holding in the "Axis limit overide switch" (on the side).
You will need to hold the switch in while you drive the axis off its overtravel switch.

Are the drives powered up?

Try using the secret home button,

It may be worth checking the fuse on the control card.

The PNC 3 control was made by North East Electronics.

They may be able to provide spares.

Do you have a serial number & despatch date???

a. Will this Mirac only be capable of running the old DOS based Lathecam program? Lathecam is quite an old turning package. I think the current package is Quickcam Turning. It will run from most Cad/Cam turning applications. b. Is it able to be controlled with the VR Turning application or will it ...

The Vacuum is held on when in auto.
Switch back to manual mode & then turn it off.

The standard Triac`s over the years were allways fitted with 2 x overtravel switches & one proximity sensor per axis.

The Z axis datum sensor can be seen by looking behind the spindle motor assembly from above. ( easier to stand behind the machine).

It may be worth looking at the toolpost clamp switch/input. If it is the RH80 toolpost you can get to the small micro switch by removing the circlip on the right hand side. This allows access to the clamp switch & the rotary switch. If it does not send the signal to the control then it wil not compl...

You will be able to download the software from the denford web site. You will need a PC with 2 com ports.(serial). The desk top tutor plugs straight in to a com port with the 25 way ribbon cable you have. The grey lead is the machine RS232 Lead. One end plugs in to the side of the electrical box & t...

It does look like you are doing all the right things.

The software should be ok.

At times with the Dos software I have been unable to connect a couple of our customers PC`s to dos machines. I carry around with me a old pc to prove it with.

Sure it is worth trying a different pc
