Hi, I'm having the same need for 64-bit libraries of KMotion - it looks like you have made some very good progress in getting it working!

Would you be willing to share the compiled...

Thanks for the reply. This is specific to the Hurco Ultimax 3 controls - the probing option needs to be enabled via a floppy.

An update on this: I put the image from the Optikey Probing floppy on...

Any suggestions on how to go about re-installing the probing function? Any help much appreciated :D

I have a BMC30M that was delivered (to me) with a Renishaw TS27R tool probe. It is fully wired in, from what I can tell, but none of the probing menus show on my machine.

I also have the 'Optikey...

Sounds stupid, but is your machine cold? I.e. the physical temperature!

I get these issues intermittantly, used to be on the X axis now it's on the Z. Tried everything in the config - sensing...

I have sent you a PM

Ok I have clones of the following. Which do you need?

Ultimax 3 V1.64 - Disk 1
Ultimax 3 V1.64 - Disk 2
Ultimax 3 V1.64 - Disk 3
Ultimax 3 V1.64 - Machine Configuration
Optikey Utility Disk -...

Did you contact Bloke about this? As if he already has the software files, it will be much easier!

If not, my floppy drive is arriving tomorrow and I will clone the disks. I have read that...

2 steps forward 1 step back with this machine!

So the bouncing was a stupid error... the previous owner had stuck a metal bar through the hole for the counter weight. It must have shifted during...

I didn't have much time with the machine today but I couldn't find anything loose. It's pretty filthy behind the head though so I may have missed something.

I grabbed a video of the bouncing - is...

What are the gib strips bloke? I don't dare get close to the Z when its under power, when I pressed the E-stop earlier it moved down ~400mm! Not fast, but fast enough that I'm staying well away haha.

If you can wait a week or so, I am taking delivery of the BMC30M floppies - I can try to get a copy for you.

Not sure if this will help, but I had the exact same issue. Turned out to be stuck keys on the keypad.

(Assuming Ultimax 3 here) look at the PCB under the keypad. There is a flashing green LED...

Hi both, thanks for your replies - finally got the axes moving today!

The 'stuck at config screen' issue turned out to be stuck keys on the keypad. I've stripped it all out and will clean the...

Awesome, thank you! I will check for 24VDC or 110V AC across the 2 legs tomorrow and will short out to see if that makes any difference. One step at a time!

I think some of my problems may be...

Ok, progress. I am now past this page and can access all machine functions.

Except I now have a "low air pressure" warning and I can't move any axes as it says "spindle unclamped" or similar....

Quick update... I have found what I assume is the external keyboard port, a DIN5 next to the cable gland for the pendant controller. A PS2 keyboard and DIN5 adapter will be here on Monday.

I...

Hi all,

I have a new (to me!) Hurco BMC30/M with Ultimax 3 controls. On boot up, initially I got the 'Security device missing or faulty' message but this goes away if I leave the machine on for a...
