Bridgeport VMC1000/20 Vertical Machining Centre with Heidenhain TNC2500 Control
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum so please go easy on me!
I'm going to have a look at a 1992 Bridgeport VMC1000/20 on Monday and have a few questions about the control Heidenhain TNC 2500:
1. I would like to connect this machine via RS232 to a computer so I can feed programs from Mastercam X3. Where would I find the serial port on the machine if it has one?
2. Does Mastercam X3 (full version) have a post processor for the TNC 2500 control? Also where can I find a guide on how to set the machine control up to talk to my pc?
3. Are there any common faults with this control and the Bridgeport VMC I should be aware of and look out for?
I've also attached some pics of the machine, to jog the memory!
Thanks in advance,
Paul
