  1. Re: Problems with Bridgeport Interact series 1, screen flickers/jitters, freezes

    It only requires about 85psi, it has its own regulator on back normally so shouldn’t be an issue. That said, the brake is electro-pneumatic so I wonder whether something has taken exception to the...

    ESR MR7412.4613-U3 Pinout

    Hi

    I’ve managed to pick up a nice German built 4th axis for my Bridgeport interact and it’s fitted with a ESR MR7412.4613-U3 servo motor. I have searched on the web and can not find a pin out for...
  3. Re: Help! B.P. Series 1 Interact pneumatic vari speed system

    My brain was getting confused between the brake cylinder and the adjuster, anyway. The set up is a little simpler than you describe as there is no feedback system its just a mechanical indicator on...
  4. Re: Help! B.P. Series 1 Interact pneumatic vari speed system

    It might be as simple as an electro-mechanical proportioning valve on the air supply, essentially mirror the mechanical valve with an electromechanical one, then its easy enough to go, or...
  5. Re: Heidenhain TNC 150B Problem on Bridgeport Interact 1

    What happens if you disconnect the axis from the controller one by one? Might be a way of working out if its the controller or something else.

    I will hopefully have a TNC145 becoming available...

    Bridgeport Interact Series 1 Servos

    Hi all

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a good UK, or European, supplier of the bushes for the servos on a Bridgeport Interact Series 1 please? Plus, how easy or difficult are they to change out...

    Re: Series one Interact TNC 151

    Hi Gus

    When you say:



    Are you meaning the Interact Series 1 which was originally shipped with the TNC145 but people often switch the controller out for a TNC151B to get drip feed? If so,...
  10. Re: declaring offsets on osp300lathe without touch setter, by using a zero setter ins

    Hi

    The probes I have available are proximity ones and they have two sensors in them, they are normally used on milling machines and one sensor is used for the Z-Axis and the other for diameter of...
  11. Re: declaring offsets on osp300lathe without touch setter, by using a zero setter ins

    Hi

    True enough if speed is the only consideration. My problem with the zero setter is that whilst for the Z-axis I can attach it to the face of the chuck, I do not have anything suitable to attach...
  12. Re: declaring offsets on osp300lathe without touch setter, by using a zero setter ins

    Well my thought was to use the 3D taster in a similar manner. Put it in the chuck and then use it to touch off both X & Z in a similar manner to that for using a zero setter on the chuck to set the Z...

    Tool offsets

    Hi all
    I was just wondering if anyone used a 3D Taster in their CNC lathe in order to help them set up tool offsets? Having used one a lot on my Bridgeport Interact Milling machine and having...

    Auto tool changer macro issue

    Hi all

    I have a Denford Easiturn 3 which I have retrofitted with a CS Labs CSIMO-IPS controller running Mach3 from a fan less PC using Windows 7 embedded, which normally runs rather nicely, albeit...
  15. Re: TNC145 Conversational Programming on a Bridgeport Interact Series 1

    Hi Truckjet

    If you look at Page 33 of the manual you linked, you will see half way down the page it says about RR+ and RL- having double functions depending whether the move is a single axis move...
  16. Re: TNC145 Conversational Programming on a Bridgeport Interact Series 1

    Hi Truckjet

    Yes the code you wrote is the sort of thing I am looking for, I tried putting the sub-programs after the main code the other day and after the M2 but after it called one sub-program it...
  17. Re: TNC145 Conversational Programming on a Bridgeport Interact Series 1

    Well single axis moves the tool completely becomes R+ or R-, really the RR+ and RL- keys ought to be labelled R R or + and R L or - as their function changes between single axis moves and contouring,...
  18. Re: Heidenhain TNC 145 Measuring System Defective X Axis, What next

    Is exactly the way I am going to go with mine, although my TNC145 is still working. You don't happen to have the full TNC151 parameter list for using it with an Interact 1 though do you please?
  19. Re: TNC145 Conversational Programming on a Bridgeport Interact Series 1

    Thanks Truckjet. I managed to solve the issue with the cutter compensation code yesterday and get it working. I had forgotten that when cutting a contour with compensation mode turned on that single...
  20. TNC145 Conversational Programming on a Bridgeport Interact Series 1

    Hi all

    I know I am probably just being really stupid, but I am new to conversational programming and getting slots with radiused ends seems to be defeating me today having tried to use the inbuilt...
  21. Re: Bridgeport Interact 1 Mk2 When Power on there is no response on the control

    Hi
    They are usually quite reliable machines, so I wouldn't worry about retrofitting at this stage. I would suspect that the phasing is out on the electrics. What you need to search for on line is...

  23. Re: Bridgeport knee and colum Interacts TNC 151-155 Axis Drive Setup

    That’s excellent thanks. Don’t suppose you have information about adding a fourth axis?

    Thanks
