Hi Guys hoping someone can help me identify the parts i need to complete the fitment off a 4th axis on my MInimill.
Its a NGC 2020 with 4th activated but no wiring or drive fitted.

I have the...

Hi All bit of a long shot but I am trying to find a full tool changer assembly for my Sabre 500.

I am in the UK so UK sourced would be the only option. Please let me know if you are breaking a...

I am trying to do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L18a_wfaRBE

But the 4th axis is mounted at 20 deg rather than the spindle

here is link to the project file https://www.dropbox.com/s/b23sxq76xbde5jt/helical%20gear_4_iso%20modified%20final%20CNC.stc?dl=0

I am trying to machine a Helical Gear but i am struggling to get Sprutcam to do the job.

I have created the gear cutter form tool. The gear black will be mounted in a 4th axis at 20deg

The...

Are these still available it looks perfect for my machine retrofit.
I need lots of I/O but want to run Mach3. The CS labs hardware would of course be much better but the price tag is just too high....

Hi yes I do still have them and I also have spindle motor. VF5S will work on arrow. I do know someone that specialise in these machine hes located in surrey so not far. PM me if you need any parts.

yes still have them

These drives and motors are still available

you would need to let us know your control and machine type.
For example with a Heidenhain equipped arrow you can use file server over rs232 from a PC. This allows you to read blocks that once...

Hi sorry have now cleared my inbox

The Z axis driver is different because the motor is higher rating but for test purposes you should be able to swap driver. You cant run the machine like that but it would certainly help to diagnose...

PM me an offer? can ship out straight away.

ok i would recommend that first you disconnect the motor from drive and check the resistance between phases they should all be the same. If they are not then the fault is with the motor.

If they...

Hi Guys im having a clearout and i have a few spare parts left from when I broke 2 milling machines

2 off 1-604-0210 servo motor goldline
2 off 1-604-0216 servo motor goldline
1 off 1-604-0217...

Hi it sounds like either Drive or motor.
I wouldn't expect motor on a Z axis as it is not close to coolant unlike X axis. I have had this problem on X axis and it was one phase on motor gone down to...

I have a probe and receiver with cable to cabinet if that helps

hi all I need someone with a strong lathe to turn down a shaft.

Its surface hardened steel so will need good tip for around 52 rockwell
part is 350mm long so would suit colchester master or...

Thanks Mike I can understand the frustration sorry I didnt mean to oversimplify. The truth of that matter is with a circuit schematic I might have a chance but without one it is as you say 40-80...

I think that that alarm is on Acramatic i'm on Heidenhain. I am pretty sure that this symptom of being able to increase the speed bit by bit is down to the PSR. I would really be interested in which...

Hi mike thanks for the reply.
Are you saying it's the spindle drive?

Hi guys this seems to be a very common fault where the PSR stops the spindle from increasing in rpm.
Does it indicate any particular part ie capacitors or thyristor fault. I'm thinking capacitors i...

I am looking for one of these machine to retrofit if anyone has one PM me

I am an experienced Mechanical design engineer and i can help you with this if you need. I have Machining facilities and could be interested in a partnership. Let me know if your are still...

Hi I am about 20 mins from where you are and I have full 3d design and machining that I can offer. With out a doubt i have the best rates going. I will PM you my contact details.

I am now up and running turned out to be the air supply to the clamp unit. woo hoo now i get to play with 4th axis milling.

no worries i will keep hunting

I have contacted the owners of Mag and they haven't come back. As it stands the drive does not enable only one green led at top where as all other axis drives enable.

Will try and get my service...

He managed to get me the BDS4 manual that will really help all I need now is wiring diagram for the machine just can't get hold of them.
