THE DRINKS ARE ON YOU ROB :lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks, most of the machine is now working, I`ve reloaded all the PMC/Diagnostics by hand and the RS232 is now also OK and uploading/downloading again. Couple of small things are not working such as the "soft" keys which may be in the parameters 910 throu...

Exactly - the 900 parameters configure major system options like graphics type / memory size / PMC logic type etc... all these must be set before anything else will work. Generally, you would then put in the relevant params to configure the RS232 port (so you can load up the originals) Think these ...

You will need to input the 900 parameters then the full parameters & the 450 diagnostics. If you have a serial number it may be possible to locate a complete set for your machine in the Denford archives. Hi Martins Thanks for the quick response, sorry for the delay but I`ve been out the workshop al...

Serious help needed!!!!!!!!!!!! I`ve just done a memory upgrade to one of my Denford Cyclone lathes, all went according to plan and the instructions up to the point of reloading the PMC/Diagnostics. I find I am not able to reload either via RS232 or manually by hand and of course nothing works!!! Ba...

When homing the X axis on Cyclone Fanuc OTA fitted with Norwin drives the X axis judders quite rapidly & then trips out the fanuc control with alarm message 414. The x axis moves freely when the drives are off & turned at the pulley. In my Cyclone Fanuc Manual a 414 alarm is an "X axis drive error"...

I am trying to convert an 8 station Denford Tool Turret to run on mach3. The turret is the type with the small maxon dc gearmotor and 3 optical sensors that read 3 discs for tool position. By the electrical schematics, it appears that the motor runs full current in one direction to find the tool, t...

Thanks for the help. Can you point me in the direction of version 5.21 as the latest version I can find is 5.20 which is the one I am using.I am not at present using vacuum but will be by the weekend hopefully.I can simulate my problem by opening the front guard briefly whilst the machine is runnin...

thank you for your prompt reply , sorry i haven't replied earlier i have been very busy for the last 2 days. i have been on the fagor site but could find no details of the 8020tg control so presume it is not supported any more. the easy dnc site is very interesting ,i have downloaded their program ...

hi all this is my first post , but i have been an avid watcher from afar for about the last 12 months. my problem is : i have a denford easiturn cnc lathe with a fagor 8020tg control system (made 1989) & am having problems trying to connect to a pc using the rs232 connections , i can get the machin...

In our school (of technical education), we have a turning lathe; model "Easiturn 3 with control unit PNC3 (TDS/E/T/CNC, Serial No ET 18094N, Date of MFC November 1984) that used to work normally. As soon as the last operation was finished, we pushed the "ZERO" button so as to return to the starting...

Hi Craig

Hi-yo Silver

That`s giving your age away if you can remember that!!!

Hi, Can anyone help? I have just got an easimill with the pnc3 old controller, I want to store programs to the tape deck but have no mini tapes. Does anyone out there know which brand of mini audio tapes work in these decks please? I have tried Philips and BT so far but these do not physically fit ...

I used to have an Easimill 3 and an Easiturn 2 that used those Data tapes, I managed to get some off Ebay, that was after finding out they wanted £37 each for new ones!! I don`t have the mill or lathe any more, (Moved up to a Cyclone P) but I think I may still have some of the tapes as I`m pretty su...

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 comp...

I have a Cyclone lathe with Fanuc OT C control that is fitted with a Baruffaldi 6 station turret. My problem is I can`t get the turret "homed", I am able to get the turret to move out, rotate and go back in and lock using the 6 position rotary switch and the activate button on the bottom front of th...

Thanks "bradders" for the schematic, getting closer, hopefully soon have enough info and a "shopping list" sorted.

I`ll try and post stuff as I go with this if anyone is interested!!

Apparently the Transformer Box was thrown out when the building the machine was in was being re-furbished and someone thought it was part of the old building electrics Yeah, sounds believable, some of the muppets around these days :roll: Maybe you could do the 3phase 70volts (or whatever the drive ...

Hi, can anybody help me out, I need a transformer box for an early model Cyclone lathe with Fanuc control circa around late 80s early 90s!!
