Is it the Locknut BI00186H that is coming loose?

We changed the style fitted when we designed the VMC1300. The new part is BI00186HH which has a spring steel locking plate on top. This could be fitted to your machine.
These are priced at £19

Is this the tool becoming loose in the spindle taper? There should only be 44 washers in the spring stack and these are secured by the lock nut at the top of the spindle. See the post attached as the spindle arangement should be the same as the 1300. The locknut is secured with a grub screw so shoul...

I would try switching the drive to the motos by plgging the Y into the X and the X into the Y on the control card. You may have to remove the black key pins from the connector to do this. https://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=1627. Then by pressing the Y jog the X will move using the Y ...

The 18V is rectified to produce the 24V DC logic which powers on the controller and the Light.

The sprint drive will have a 0V 10V and analog in terminal. If you connected a pot to this you would then be able to control the speed from the pot proving thet the drive is working. Take care as the Sprint is not isolated but the analog out of the nextmove is iscolated and should change between 0-1...

YES

Travel is 400mm in Y and slots are 40mm apart.

The sprint drive may be unisolated so you must be carfull connecting it to the supply. The 0-10V from the BAldor control card is iscolated

please find attached drawings. The parts are no longer in stock.

All the data we have is shown on the data sheet. Unfortunatley this is all we have.

Hi The simulation always shows the cutting from the top so the tool library should not be edited
In Quick Tern 2D Design make sure you have the correct tool Library selected which will also create a program cutting from the front.

Thanks for posting the solution.

Hi, Is the machine functioning correctly if so I would leave the firmware as it is. What model of machine do you have and what is the date of manufacture?

The tool should be pulled up tight in the taper of the spindle so there should be no movement once fitted. Could you remove a pull stud from a toolholder and check it fits in the taper correctly? All that could cause a tool fitted with the correct pull stud to be loose would be that the springs are ...

You would probably be able to see damage on the mirrors and Len’s if there is any.

A service on the laser may be worth doing. We could measure the laser power before the optics and through them.

The worst case would be you need a laser recharge but it would be worth doing.

Unfortunatly G91 is not supported in VR Turning.
The supported codes are listed in the help.

Thats great. Thanks for letting us know.

The chuck jaws are soft jaws designed to be machined to hold a specific bar size. You could still buy soft jaws for them.
