I replaced the SEM X axis encoder over ten years so it should be relatively the same but memory is fuzzy. I think what I did was get the name and model off the encoder and looked it up on the net....

You don't say how you are creating the program. Try using MDI from the keyboard menu to create a simple inside machining circle and see if that works. If you are creating a program from a Word...

This is just from memory so someone correct me if I'm wrong. 1st the pendrive has to be formatted as if it is a MSDOS 1.44 floppy or series of floppies. Next, the .pgm file extension is not used for...

What I would do is load a good running pgm program; then hit the - (minus) key once to see the gcode. Compare some of the code to the problem txt code and see if there is any obvious difference in...

You might be able to install a TSR program like Screen Capture 2.01 (scroll down). If the program is longer than one screen the saved files would have to be concatenated together in a word processing...

Sorry, no serious help but what I would try is to connect another keyboard and try that first. It will take two people since I think it may have to be connected in the back cabinet. If I remember the...

I have an EzPath II but this should be similar. Go to <9> Utilities <4> Comm. Press Control C then <Y> to terminate batch job.
You should now be in the C:\Ppath directory. Then of course type A: to...

In the middle of a program I am getting a "turret unlocked" error. The program will run switching tools until I have a program stop, then error as the program starts again and the tool starts to...

See post #5 in this thread.

I installed my own from EMI and will add that it would have been better to pay a technician to do the installation. There is a good bit of wiring and the instructions...

Originally, I talked to Elrod Machine since he made the 3rd axis for Bridgeport for the later EZ-Trak's. He was going to sell me the mechanical parts to do the conversion. Unfortunately, at least at...

A simplified answer is to bring the part up relatively close to the tool with the table. Set the tool Z to zero on the part surface where the pocket will go by moving the spindle quill down. After...

I've done the USB emulator before on my EZ Trak. Actually I made the cabinet to work with another of these Dell monitors too and added a pull out shelf for a full size keyboard. The emulator works...

For an example I installed this Dell 15" monitor in mine. There was a little filing in the lower right corner to allow access to the controls. This probably was not necessary since the monitor comes...

I have done very little engraving so others will know better than I do. However, I have a DX with the EMI upgrade software V6.0. It does have the engrave feature under AUXFUN > *Engrave >
F4Text. It...

I was asked a question in a PM and can't post a picture there. This is a picture of the Taper option screen on a EZ Path II.

On the EZ Path II the number is entered as a decimal. So 3.5764 from your example.
The EZ Path II, at least the software version I have, also allows the 1.5 inch per foot
to be entered under F6. In...

Isn't the angle for NPT 1° 47' or 1/16 inch per foot?

Welcome Moscow. Sorry, I don't do serial transfers. I hope someone else can help you with that.
To clarify one OD OA should be at the end of every line, not just after an AUXFUN M2.

This is a hex dump of the last few lines of oshuab's program. As
can be seen there is a series of OD OA's after the last M2 command. These are
hex for CR (carriage return) and LF (linefeed)...

I just tried a program and it worked fine. Both typed in with Windows 7 and XP using Notepad. For what it is worth, it is important that the program header be correct for the programs to work. Mine...

Modern word processing programs can add unseen format tags and styles or other coding schemes that the old DOS does not understand. You could try using Notepad and use the All Files drop down in Save...

I don't have that exact machine but what you are probably looking for can be found be clicking on MDI. Then click on Thread (F5 on my machine). At the end of the requested threading info is a Start...

I did an EZTRAK. I first talked to Elrod and he would supply the hardware as George has mentioned. EMI would not supply the electronics and wiring without buying the whole conversion from them (which...

Check and make sure the keypad is working. Install a full size keyboard and try that.

Thanks! I did make a gasket for the opening on the left facing the chuck. The piece on the right has a ship lap type fastening. If some coolant would get behind behind the vertical joint it would...

Sorry, no help with the errors.

I have two machines that I upgraded with the EMI replacement motherboards and DOM's (Disk on modules) and their software. They work well and seem a bit faster...

Assuming the Ez-Path 1 has a hard drive I will try to give this a shot. I'm pretty sure you mean back up the Ez-Path software and not just part programs. If you are the least bit familiar with...

It is extremely easy. All that is needed is a floppy emulator. On Ebay search "floppy emulator". There are basically two types. One with a digital display and those without. The ones without the...

Now that adding USB to EZ floppy machines has become child's play, I decided to add a USB port to the front EZ-Trak console. My floppy A: drive was in the back of the machine and it is much more...

I decided to make some clearance holes in the cabinet sections to make it easier to get to the two front headstock bolts. Now the headstock can be aligned without having to remove the cabinets etc.
