Re: Mirac PC Proximity Sensor

You can swap the 2 signals over on the 50way Standard I/O unit in the electrical panel. If you look at drawings AC3R-04A & AC3R-05A it`s Pin 35, Wire number 70, X Datum Sensor Pin 36, Wire number 71, Z Datum Sensor It may also be worth checking for a broken wire to the X axis stepper motor. You can ...

Re: 1994 Mirac Auto tool changer motor problem.

Hi Darren

As you say all the logic seems to be correct.

Are you able to check the resistance on the motor wires in the electrical panel. I would guess you should get 1 to 2 Ohms resistance if it is good but open circuit if its faulty.

This is the nearest drawing I was able to locate.

You should be able to trace the wires back.

Re: novamill stopped while setting it up for a job.

Does the red seven sgment LED go out when it fails.

Its possible the voltage to DenStep may be too high. You may need to change it to 24volts DC

Re: Triac Spindle (Won’t rotate)

What speed did you ask for?

It may be you have an issue with the Tac. If it still ramps u when you replace the fuse try changing the dip switch on the drive from Tach to AVF mode.

Does the red power light on the Sprint 1200 spindle drive light. It may be as simple as a fuse.

Re: VMC 1300 Pro tool changer not working

Ask it to pick up either tool 6 or 8 depending on the number of station you have which should physically change to tool 1 in the spindle then input a M27 command. This will reset the program machine position to tool 1 to match.

Re: QuickCAM License Cost

That all looks good. The PCB is a USB isolator & does not require a power supply. It protects the control card if the spindle motor flashes over. It looks like you will need VR CNC Milling V5 & depending on what you are planning to do or already have design wise, QuicCAM 2D Design & QuickCAM PRO. It...

Has the machine been upgrade? If you post a picture of the control card & EPROM we can guide you through what it was supplied with & what is required. We still do support the Triac VMC & can supply the software directly if you are in the UK once we know what you need VR CNC Milling V% QuickCAM 2D De...

Hi Tom You can get the motor brushes out without removing the motor. If you lower the Z axis slide & remove the rear cover you can will see the cap holding the brushes which you can unscrew. To get to the front brushes remove the 2 screws underneath the head that retain the plate that slides up & do...

Re: Novamill Stepper motors dead?

It sounds like the Y axis is missing a phase to the motor. Check the resistance on the motor wires going in to the rack in the electrical box. it may be just a pin pushed back in the harting plug socket on the side of the machine. You should be able to do a visual inspection if you unplug the electr...

Re: Novamill Stepper motors dead?

All 3 axis are belt driven & there are no overtravel switches.

If you look round the back of the machine you can remove the cover plate gaining access to the Y axis motor, belt & pulley.
