Anybody doing continuous DNC to a Anilam Crusader M? I can currently download via RS232 with no problems. The manual I have explains how to do it, but I was wondering if anyone has it setup and could...

Bob,
Thanks for the code. Everytime I power down the machine I lose the program I have entered. I assume the battery is dead. I have attached a picture of what I think is the battery on the Orange...

Colin,
Here are some pictures of the z axis. I would think you could disconnect the ball screw and use the z axis manually if you would want. I have only had mine running for a couple of weeks, it...

Bob,
Do you know if I can send regular G-Code to this control or do I need to follow the format I use when I program at the control? Basically will it accept G00, G01, G02 etc. The manual is not...

Hey Guys,
It has been a couple of weeks, sent the monitor to CNC Repair in Washington. $400 later and I have a running cnc. I really appreciate all of the help. Now all I need to do is figure out...

Hey Guys,
Here is what I found when I pulled the monitor out and the attached picture shows the card attached to the monitor cage. See the red circled area in the picture. Again I am no expert, but...

Bob,
I have some good news, but first the bad. I turned the brightness control full clockwise and no green screen. My dad has a friend that owns an electronic/TV repair business he is going to come...

Bob,
When I check the voltage across the Orange and Black wire it reads 12v. When I check from the Orange to Ground I get -12v and Black to Ground I get 0v. I am not that familiar with DC voltage,...

Bob,
Thanks you again for the info. Attached are some pictures of the power supply that is attached to the card cage. I do not find any terminals labeled. Can you tell me which ones go where? Also...

Bob,
Thanks for the info. The LEDs are like you said, from the top down 2,3 and 4 are steady and #7 is flash very fast, looks dimly lit. I guess now I must determine which is bad. Is the 12v power...

Luiguicam,
I would be interested in part of the control as well. If I can determine which part I need? When I power up the control on the first board there are 7 LEDs 3 of them are lit solid and 1...

Luiguicam,
When I press the green reset button all I get is a clicking sound. The fans under the servo drives do not come on and no power to the servos. The previous owner told be it has a bad "CT...

Luiguicam,
Powered up the control last night, I get power all fans power up, but I get no display and when I hit buttons on the control panel I get a beeping sound. What this tells me and the info...

Luiguicam,
Thanks for all your info. I will keep you informed. I am also leaning toward the Ajax, but I would like to see what happens when I power up the existing control.

Thanks,
Eric

Luiguicam,
Your machine and work look great. I am attaching some pics of the machine I just brought home. The machine only has 3200 hours on it. From what I was told from the previous owner, the...

Luiguicam,
Thanks for the info. How much are you asking for the Crusader control? I would like to see some pictures of your Eagle if you have time.

Thanks,

I have puchased an Eagle knee mill with a crapped out Anilam Crusader M control. This machine is very similar to a bridgeport series 1. I have been looking at several different ways to retrofit and I...

I am currently looking at an Eagle Knee Mill with a Anilam Crusader M control. The Machine looks mechanically sound but the control is not working. I am planing an AjaxCNC retrofit. In my home shop I...
