It only requires about 85psi, it has its own regulator on back normally so shouldn’t be an issue. That said, the brake is electro-pneumatic so I wonder whether something has taken exception to the...

Hi
I’ve managed to pick up a nice German built 4th axis for my Bridgeport interact and it’s fitted with a ESR MR7412.4613-U3 servo motor. I have searched on the web and can not find a pin out for...
My brain was getting confused between the brake cylinder and the adjuster, anyway. The set up is a little simpler than you describe as there is no feedback system its just a mechanical indicator on...
It might be as simple as an electro-mechanical proportioning valve on the air supply, essentially mirror the mechanical valve with an electromechanical one, then its easy enough to go, or...
What happens if you disconnect the axis from the controller one by one? Might be a way of working out if its the controller or something else.
I will hopefully have a TNC145 becoming available...
Hi all
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good UK, or European, supplier of the bushes for the servos on a Bridgeport Interact Series 1 please? Plus, how easy or difficult are they to change out...
Hi
Are you running Windows 7 by the way, as I know there was an update that knocked my plasma off line and it was to do with the THC etc. Turned out rolling the PC back and turning windows...
As stupid as it sounds check all the emergency stops are out. I thought it was CE then cycle start to punch through each referencing but I maybe misremembering
Hi Gus
When you say:
Are you meaning the Interact Series 1 which was originally shipped with the TNC145 but people often switch the controller out for a TNC151B to get drip feed? If so,...
Hi
The probes I have available are proximity ones and they have two sensors in them, they are normally used on milling machines and one sensor is used for the Z-Axis and the other for diameter of...
Hi
True enough if speed is the only consideration. My problem with the zero setter is that whilst for the Z-axis I can attach it to the face of the chuck, I do not have anything suitable to attach...
Well my thought was to use the 3D taster in a similar manner. Put it in the chuck and then use it to touch off both X & Z in a similar manner to that for using a zero setter on the chuck to set the Z...
Hi all
I was just wondering if anyone used a 3D Taster in their CNC lathe in order to help them set up tool offsets? Having used one a lot on my Bridgeport Interact Milling machine and having...
Hi all
I have a Denford Easiturn 3 which I have retrofitted with a CS Labs CSIMO-IPS controller running Mach3 from a fan less PC using Windows 7 embedded, which normally runs rather nicely, albeit...
Hi Truckjet
If you look at Page 33 of the manual you linked, you will see half way down the page it says about RR+ and RL- having double functions depending whether the move is a single axis move...
Hi Truckjet
Yes the code you wrote is the sort of thing I am looking for, I tried putting the sub-programs after the main code the other day and after the M2 but after it called one sub-program it...
Well single axis moves the tool completely becomes R+ or R-, really the RR+ and RL- keys ought to be labelled R R or + and R L or - as their function changes between single axis moves and contouring,...
Is exactly the way I am going to go with mine, although my TNC145 is still working. You don't happen to have the full TNC151 parameter list for using it with an Interact 1 though do you please?
Thanks Truckjet. I managed to solve the issue with the cutter compensation code yesterday and get it working. I had forgotten that when cutting a contour with compensation mode turned on that single...
Hi all
I know I am probably just being really stupid, but I am new to conversational programming and getting slots with radiused ends seems to be defeating me today having tried to use the inbuilt...
Hi
They are usually quite reliable machines, so I wouldn't worry about retrofitting at this stage. I would suspect that the phasing is out on the electrics. What you need to search for on line is...
I finally got around to starting to recommission my Bridgeport Interact Series 1 with a TNC 145 controller today and found a couple of issues. Firstly, I need to new monitor as the present one is...
That’s excellent thanks. Don’t suppose you have information about adding a fourth axis?
Thanks

Suspect it’s doing it so it doesn’t crash into work piece?

Hi
I’m upgrading my interact series 1 mk1 to a Heidenhan 151B controller primarily to get a drip feed capability. However, it obviously gives me a fourth axis capability and I was wondering what...
Hi
I’m considering buying a 1999 Mazak New Turbo-X48 Champion to replace my Swiftcut plasma machine, which whilst capable can’t do some of the finer work I need to cut. What do I need to consider...
Hi
I’m just about to upgrade my Bridgeport interact series 1 mk1 from TNC145 to TNC151 in order to get the drip feed capability and 4th axis capability. As part of that I was wondering whether...
Hi
I am trying to sort out the auto-lubrication system on my Denford Easiturn. The lube pump is set to engage when reset is pressed on Mach 3 and that works fine and its supplying oil to the...
Thanks for your analysis Diabolical. We decided to go for option 4, which came up since the original post, which was a three year old Mk 2 8' x 4' Swiftcut machine with a Hypertherm 105 on it,...
Hi
I am a newbie to plasma cutters and I am in the market for a CNC Plasma system for 8' x 4' sheets in the thickness range 2mm to 10mm typically and need a high degree of accuracy. I have been...
