Hi All,

has anybody fitted a hand wheel (MPG) on to a DOS software Triac, I find the jog buttons a real pain, is it possible to do this?

Graham

During a test run I found that G81/82 etc have a possible bug in them, they totally ignore any value in the Z work offset. I had put +25mm in the Z work offset to make sure my tools were clear of the job and the canned cycles drilled to the original zero position, everything else was 25mm above. I r...

Hi Enny, please except my apology, I did not mean my reply to be aggressive. After many hours of messing checking and running g-code the fault has vanished. I have no idea what cured it. Has it gone for good, who knows. During the testing I did find that G81/82 etc have a bug in them, they totally i...

Hi Enny, How can it affect the "G00 Z25." in the middle of the program the program runs and the part is completed perfectly. The only problem is when the Z axis is commanded to lift to 25mm there is a delay of 20 seconds before it moves, once it has moved it then continues as normal. I think this is...

My Triac PC is running on the Denford software V1.30 and works very well but today I have this odd delay and I don't know why. The delay is when the Z axis is commanded in program. This program below works just fine until the Z has to rapid to 25mm above the job after cutting the path, at this point...

Hi,

I am having a problem with a turret like the one pictured here, would it be possible for you to add any drawings you have for this turret to the forum.

Would it also be possible to list any spare parts you have in stock.

Many thanks
Graham

Hi all

I am looking for a tailstock for a Mirac PC or the drawings or a sample unit to allow me to make one, can anybody help?

Graham

you can do any taper you like

if you start at 1.000" diameter and want to put a taper of .050" over 8" then the code looks something like this :-

G00 Z0.1
X1.
G01 Z0 F.01
X1.05 Z-8. F.005 (form taper)
G00 X2. Z.1

Hi Dave,

how do I go into test mode, if it works I will get you the codes

Hi, thanks for the replying, I did download the user guide but the offset part is not like my setup. My Mirac is the all in one type and when I press on the offset button all I get is a list of X,Z,R,T's there is no global X and Z within the offset list. April 1995 software version 2.25 Please forwa...

OK, no reply to that question, lets try this one.

Can I use G10 to offset the Z axis datum?

If yes how is it implemented?

Thanks

Graham

Hi All, When I have set all the tool offsets on my Mirac, how can I do a datum shift to adjust the length of the finished part. On my Triac I can adjust the Z axis datum offset and all the tools are adjusted, how is this done on the Mirac? I am using V2.25 software, is this the latest version for DO...

Thanks, I will give that a try.

Hi All, I have a Triac VMC running the old DOS software, everything works fine but all my jigs work from a fixed datum on the machine and all the tools are common. Is it possible to have the offset file load automatically on machine start up? In one of the books it makes a reference to a teachers se...

When I got this machine it was OK, now it has run some parts and got oil back on the slides I have this problem. When I power down my machine, an original servo driven Triac it creeps down until the tool touches the table. Should it not have a brake or some other device to stop this. Thanks Graham.

Bump.

When I try to use a canned cycle on my Servo Triac (FANUCMS V1.30) I rapid to the start point 25mm above the job but the canned cycle then tries to rapid down 73mm not the 2mm above the job. I don't understand why, any ideas, Here is the code. N3 (5MM DRILL) T3 M6 G43 H3 G00 X17. Y10. Z25. S1000 M3 ...

Thank you for your reply, I have tried the M27 and it looked as if it had not worked. When I powered up the machine today the tool number was correct. I can only assume you have to do a restart after the M27.

Thanks

Do you think your board would work on a servo Triac with baldor drives?

Hi, The tool changer on my Triac loads tool 6 when I ask for tool 1, how can I reset the tool positions so it loads the correct tool. Is the current tool stored in a file somewhere so I can change it or do I move all the tool markers on the changer to match the position. Or is it something else. Tha...
