Hi Arjcnc,

This is interesting. How does the problem with closed loop steppers and their drives show? What model drives are you using and how did you connect them?
I've successfully used normal...

Hi Trooble,

If your steppers rotate freely, that indicates that the stepper drives are not operational or they have their "enable" signals (actually "disable") set high. The controller unit...

I suppose you'll be safer if you do a full factory reset after a major firmware version upgrade. You may still have old versions of the AutoGM macro files in the internal memory card, or perhaps the...

The M350 controller is not related to the SMC5-5-N-N controller, they are very unlike each other. The M350 controller seems to be an upgraded version of the DDCSV2.1 or V3.1 controllers and they are...

I just today noticed that the controller, while it can be used to edit the G code, cannot enter or edit the "comments" within the G code. There are no parentheses available. The comments are given in...

I just uploaded a "cleaner" version of this manual without the annoying watermark, link here.

Today I decided to have a look if there were any recent updates for the SMC4 or SMC5 controller support files at shop.cdle.net site and yes. In the (very slowly downloadable) SMC.RAR or SMC.ZIP file...

ATC control must probably be done using the controller's external outputs and inputs, so this depends on how your tool turrets are controlled and what signals they output.

About rigid tapping,...

The available English user manual for the SMC5-5-N-N controller seems to be dated 2017-12-11, so it is rather old and doesn't explain very much of the 5-axis RTCP functionality.

I've found a bit...

Hi, let's continue here about the XC609T / CW20T lathe controllers: https://www.cnczone.com/forums/controller-amp-computer-solutions/414914-cnc-forum.html

Hi all,

I opened this thread for discussions about the Chinese stand-alone lathe controllers XC609T and CW20T, which to my understanding are internally similar. These cheap lathe controllers are...

I suppose the bug reports of the SMC5-5-N-N controller and wishes for more functionalities (more G codes, added handwheel function for manual running of G code, some functions for the unused buttons,...

Hi Phil,

You might want to consider XC609T or CW20T controller for your lathe. I have the former one (cheaper than CW20T but with Chinese front panel...), and they seem to have most functions...

The firmware version 2020-09-16 already has backlash control, separate for each axis. You can get the latest firmware from Lollette support if you send them the serial number of your SMC5-5-N-N...

It is possible and actually quite easy to create a part and toolpaths using the obsolete Emco CAD/CAM DOS software, available from the Yahoo group "Emco_cnc_users", but you probably can't use AutoCAD...

This is only a guess, but it's based on a full Sanyo Denki BL Super brochure from 1988 that I was able to acquire five years ago via the extremely friendly Sanyo Denki representative in Finland.
