  1. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Error code 823

    For what it's worth guys I tracked down the cause. It was the Y position sensor. One of the wires had fatigued and was broken. Case closed!

    AXYZ AXI Driver alternative

    Hi
    I'm slowly working up the courage and knowledge to convert a Multicam S2 router (AXYZ electronics). I'm hoping to use the existing steppers but have read that I may need to replace the drivers....
  3. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Error code 823

    Thanks again Superman
    I didn't get a chance try changes to the tool configs today, but I should get a chance tomorrow.

    Error 823 (ATC - not functioning)

    Hi I have a Multicam Router S2 (Australia) that I am considering upgrading the electronics but presently it's still running on ToolPath and it's original AXYZ boards.

    I've recently had an error...

    Re: Does anyone have any information on this?

    Hi Karuba
    I'm interested to know how you got on with your Multicam conversion. I'm about to start a conversion on a Multicam router with the same steppes and drivers so I suspect it's the same...
  6. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Error code 823

    Thanks Superman. Tool is in the library and all tools are in the cups/positions corresponding to their assigned positions in ToolPath.

    Interestingly though, my ATC has 6 physical positions for 6...
  7. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Error code 823

    I've since found the error definition but that hasn't helped solve my issue:

    Error 823
    The head is not at the X, Y tool change position.
    Cause/Remedy;
    Machine has lost origin. Abort job...
  8. Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Error code 823

    Hi guys
    I have just had an error code # 823 appear during the automatic tool change procedure and cannot find a code listing to help trouble shoot. Can any one help?

    The code appears after the...
  9. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Looking at your settings and re reading the sections on the Home position in the ToolPath manual, it looks like I wasn't right about the Home position you enter in the Calibration tab. As you...

    Hi blazk

    Blind leading the blind....

    z0 is still a bit of a mystery to me in that the way my files are cutting when I'm cutting a simple 2D through-cut, z0 is the bottom of my workpiece (or top...
  11. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Hi Tobias
    To set up in Solidworks, you may need to load the CAM add in to get the CAM tab. If you can't see the CAM tab, google CAM add in or whatever.
    Once you are on the CAM tab, left click on...
  12. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Thanks. That will be useful.

    At the moment I'm just clamping. I've taken out the rubber strips in the T slots so I can use T nuts and bolts. This is fine for small pieces of stock, but I expect...
  13. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Cool. Have fun. I'm really only a step ahead of where you are at so you'll catch up in no time. I just watched the vid you posted a while back of the ATC. Your machine looks to be in way better shape...
  14. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Sorry mate
    I'll see if there are notifications which should help with timely replies. There's a fair level of blind leading the blind here, but there are a few thoughts:

    The PP I am using with...
  15. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Sorry blazk, I haven't checked in on the forum for a while.

    I haven't progressed with the electronics upgrade. Instead I've been cutting a few jobs sending them from Toolpath. My workflow is to...
  16. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Ha!! Scratch that last post. The 'input' is actually the pot with it's knob busted off. How could I have mistaken that??
    I'm pretty sure than means the spindle has just been running flat strap since...
  17. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Hello again!
    I have just had a 3 phase outlet installed close to the machine enabling me to fire up the spindle. My current hurdle is understanding spindle speed control, or more precisely, knowing...
  18. Re: Homing sequence reversed AXYZ AMC0004G Board (Multicam Australia Series IIS) Rout

    Well that's exciting! I just traced the sensor wiring and found that one of the two z height limit sensors (one at 100mm, the other at 250mm) seems to be misbehaving. There is a toggle switch on the...
  19. Re: Homing sequence reversed AXYZ AMC0004G Board (Multicam Australia Series IIS) Rout

    Thanks routalot
    Sounds logical although the machine was only removed from production a week ago, to my knowledge working fine, not disassembled in any way and the board and steppers run on single...
  20. Homing sequence reversed AXYZ AMC0004G Board (Multicam Australia Series IIS) Router

    Hi
    I have recently purchased two older Multican (Australia) CNC routers. Both run on AXYZ boards from ToolPath on Windows 98. setting up one machine seems to be going well, however the second is...
  21. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    I might be speaking too soon, but the Solidworks + AXYZ post processor available for download from Hawk Ridge Systems seems to have done the trick. The files I have run in the air on the router so...

    Thanks MrSolution

    In the meantime I downloaded the SW + AXYZ post processor the kind folk over at Hawk Ridge Systems have made available for download. First air cut using it seems to...
  23. Post Processor needed for Multicam Series II (AXYZ board)

    Hello
    I need a post processor to run some older Multicam (Australia) Series II routers.

    I have recently acquired two older routers. Both currently have AXYZ Corp (Canada) boards running .rdy...
  24. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    A quick update...
    I now have the PC with ToolPath. I'm yet to power up the spindle, but in keeping with the small steps plan, plotting 2D shapes with a sharpie in place of a cutter is easy enough...
  25. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Wow! You are dead right on that. I need to re-read most of the posts several times just to keep vaguely on track.
  26. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Awesome Rod
    Thanks. I'll check it out. I can see my initial goal of getting the machine cutting is giving way to getting the machine converted, but it seems far less of an uphill battle than I had...
  27. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    Thanks Rod
    That's very helpful. Lots of good pointers in there to consider.
    I'm hoping for some more time on the machine this weekend. With your tips and a fair bit of probing with a multimeter,...
  28. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    I realise in my last post the jpegs are pretty much illegible. Perhaps some pdfs will be better...
  29. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    It should only be another week or so till I have the PC running Toolpath for this machine. In the meantime I started trying to understand what's in the controller cabinet. I've sketched out most of...
  30. Re: Multicam (AUSTRALIA) Series IIs router - Help needed setting up

    By the way...today's job of removing the 'stuck' tool holder was a simple fix - pop a new gauge on the regulator to replace the broken one and dial up the air pressure to the required 7bar. Magic.
