1995 Triac Software (Advice needed!)

Post by GingerNinja54 » Thu 02 Sep , 2021 14:42 pm

Having purchased a 1995 Triac VMC, I need to source Control, CAM and perhaps even CAD software. (Unfortunately the college from which I purchased the VMC couldn’t provide this).

It looks like they ran it on VR5, but there is no longer anyone familiar with the Denford to confirm this.

Can anyone advise the best version(s) of software to use with this mill please and any indication of cost?
Thanks

Will do 👍🏻
Collect the machine next Friday, so will be a few days…

(Excuse my utter ignorance… how do I identify the control card and what is the eprom plus how to identify it?!)

If it was running on VR Milling 5 Then it must have been upgraded.

Licences of software are non transferable unless the terms of the licence agreemnet are adheared to and then there is a handleing fee.


The post below will explain how to identify the control card and EPROM.
