Hello Chris. My apologies for not replying sooner! i didnt receive a notification from the forum on your reply! Good news is the box is still available. However i am unsure if it will solve the problem you have in a "plug and play" sense if im honest. This is something that would need to be confirme...

Apologies if thats what you meant anyway!

Hi Moray, just a quick update, In regards to the 24vdc inductive proximity switches required, in which you kindly provided a link for, i believe if im not mistaken that i could, instead of buying 3 of these (at £80+ each!) i could get away with only getting 1, just for the X home. as this is were th...

in regards to getting better bearings, i am now strongly considering this. must be a touch of madness in me seeing as i just probably ruined a pair of decent bearings! as you mentioned kfm36, the 2MM208WIDUL fafnir bearings with ground preload spacer is tempting. ive seen pairs go for around £300 on...

Thank you for the replies i managed to improve on this in the end. it required me removing the spindle from the head and reinstalling it. with the help of a heat gun, which i used the first time round but probably used it more effectively this time, and also a slight change in method. instead of ins...

Hello all, I am in the process of upgrading my Triac spindle. I have a 1.6kw 8000 rpm AC servo motor ordered for the spindle and for this i thought it was essential that i upgrade the spindle bearings. So i went with bearings rated for 10000 rpm to give me a good headroom, link below. https://simply...

Hi all, I have an old unwanted Denford Triac PC PC Electronics/Control box. Is this something that would be of interest to anyone? I have no use for it as i have gone for a new system and have bolted it to the back of my machine to make it a more practical all in one unit. If anyone is interested in...

holy mackerel!! thats pricey! i assume there are no other options for this as they are such an uncommon size? hence the ludicrous price. i have looked around online and had no luck finding anything like these. if there isnt any other option im not sure what to do now, i have already spent a pretty p...

okay ill have a good look through that. thank you very much

Hi Moray, Thanks for your reply. i think ill do the same and replace the NAMUR system with new cables and 3 wire sensors or micro switches then. what sensors did you go with to home the axes? particularly the X axis as as the original proximity sensor for this is tiny! (may be the same for the other...

Hi all I am in the process of upgrading my Triac PC to mach 3. I have bought a "CNC kit" (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203718263502) and intend to pretty much start again with the electronics and have them in a new electronics enclosure bolted to the back of the machine, similar to what you would see ...

Hi all, back once again for a possibly silly question, but hey you seem like a nice bunch so here goes! I have a non ATC variant of the Triac and would like to ugrade my machine to have a pneumatic drawbar like the ATC variants have. Im aware Denford supply the drawbar and other components required ...

Hi Moray, Thank you for your response, i had not heard of lubetec before, i looked on their website and they seem like the perfect supplier so thanks. the pump on my machine is a Bijur TM1 C2896, they sell a C2890 model, maybe i can make this work? hopefully just "plug and play". the reason for need...

Hi all,

Im hoping you can help me. I need a replacement auto lube pump on my Triac. after a bit of googling to find a replacement i was shocked to find they go for silly money, cheapest i have found is around £500. is there an alternative i can use? such as a cheap chinese one?

Thank you

Hi, this is great work here well done! i am planning on doing the same. i am having a little trouble sourcing a suitable pneumatic cylinder. if you could tell me what one your using and were to get it i would be very grateful! thanks

i have the same issue, unfortunately the denford forum doesnt seem keen to help people with backlash issues. i have taken my table off the machine entirely to find that my ballscrew nuts are very worn which would explain the nearly 0.07mm backlash i was experiencing. will have to get new ones/get th...
