I just received a Crusader II L manual, if still need and have email send me PM and I'll send it over.

What kind of production are they running? 3-axis stuff or drilling bolt patterns or 2.5 axis?

Been frustrated with this for a while, finally got the hang of it. Main problem was with not understanding that I needed to enter into the tool table the difference between the 'master' tool and...

Tried it & it worked on the first change for the 'Master' tool, all other tools set to same level as master changed with it when I selected new Z zero. However, 2nd time it didn't work, then just...

Still looking for input on this; what methods do people use to adjust tool lengths en-masse once the top of stock has change? I.E.; seems like setting all tools once to table or top of vice or...

Can you post some pics of what you need translated?
And a pic of the board?

I've posted a few times and had hit or miss responses / feedback so I know how aggravating it can be. I don't speak...

Seeking general info (like product sheet, MSDS, recommended mix ratios etc.) on this product, as well as anyone's comments about first hand experience with it.

Thanks and best regards,

Got M3 to work with spindle O/C output, also M7 & M8 for coolant outputs. The problem was that I did not have the correct port & pin assignments (was using 'enable' vs 'output').

I am still...

No yellow light comes on during the M03 or M04.
There is one light on the board that is on always, but it is not the one on the edge near the spindle output connector.

Inputs from encoders,...

No-go; 12v on one side of coil, the other to the O/C terminal. No activation of coil.

Also tried coolant outputs, nothing there either. I.E. ; unable to change state of any outputs on BX7....

Picked up some 12v coils over the weekend, will try later tonight or tomorrow

You probably already have an answer for your question, but I've been working through some offset issues of my own and may be able to offer some insight. I believe that the appropriate technique is...

Have the spindle operated via MACH3 now, though it is via what seems to be a work-around.

I have a panel switch mounted to control the VFD setup as FWD/STOP/REV. I did this first to get the...

Got it squared away; parameter C017 had to change from 00 to 01; works good. With either run fwd or run rev activated (switch in either run position when Machine is energized), VFD shows error...

I have been using the BX7 b.o.b. With good results for the last couple of years but am just now getting to the point of using the spindle control output. However, I haven't been able to locate the...

Powered up my spindle with the VFD this AM for the first time and also wired in a remote run fwd / stop / run reverse switch.

I read in the literature about the USP option, but have not been...

You can make it work, I am sure of it. Start thinking in terms of a functional block diagram before getting too deep into too many specifics. Understanding at a general level first, then more...

FIXED; (so far, crossing my fingers). Root cause was that I was using in-correct file directory structure. I had a folder named BobCAD-CAM V25 and a folder named BobCAD-CAM Data on the same...

Continues to be very frustrating; have reinstalled software (again); letting it install 'as recommended' has resulted in same no-start errors as described earlier. Removed all installs / copies, ...

Thanks for the help; I'm not out of the woods yet, but at least feel like I am making progress. Have had to step away from the Cookie Jar lest I smash it into a lot of pieces. Issue now seems to...

Had all directories pointing to correct locations, however still did not work. The .xml file was there, but still not working. One thing I may have done wrong on install that worked was putting...

Had to reinstall v25 in a new folder; sort of working now, have managed to get posted nc files, but simulation gives me the error below;

Some progress this am; tried several removal / reinstall processes to no success until I switched to a new folder (.. 'Reinstalled bcad' ...); now software starts up, shows the licensing info.

Will try rolling back to 895; it's on their archive site.

Had not done any windows updates; ... Until this problem I had not connected the system to the internet in the last 8-10 months; then I tried downloaded the last update for V25, and then the...

No, the software was only
installed once, so there wasn't a restore point to go back to (unless I misunderstand how/where to do it).

Downloaded latest V25 update; installed & 'fault lathe0003R' now vs ...0009.

Have been using V25 mill for a while now pretty successfully on the same computer since Dec 2013. However, just had it stop working on restart of the computer and multiple re-starts later it is...

Yes, all tool lengths are good (when I set them correctly), it's just that whenever I change workpiece thickness or change the knee position, I have to adjust all tools again.

Hello all, I have successfully converted an 80's YCM-30 knee mill to run on Mach 3 with the original SEM servos modified to accept US Digital encoders.
Have made lots of doodads with it so far,...
