Thank you sir! Is the air cylinder you spoke of to release the tool?
I just acquired a Larken System 400 LS with an ATC. Can anyone point me the a photo of the ATC mounting? This one is off the machine and it is running Mach3 and Gecko drives.
Thanks!

If I read this right, you are selling the mechanical parts and it's up to the buyer to add the electrical parts and get it working. Where can I get the tool change Macro for UCCNC?
Would you be so kind as to email me a copy? Thanks! ronaldthompson37 at gmail.com
I don't remember much about it. It worked using Mach3 to control the spindle speed and was a very strong motor. I used it mainly to do away with the skinny belts. Ask on that group and they can tell...
I don't have a Taig mill or a Consew motor any longer. But the info is still available on the Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Taig.Lathe.And.Mill.Group/
Hello,
I just bought a 1990 Haas VF1. I am trying to drip feed it, as the memory is very small. All the instructions say to turn on setting 55. Mine stops at setting 54. It is in Yasnac coordinate...
I realize this is an old post. Did the new motor include a new encoder?
Are the gibs adjusted?
If all else checks good, look at the balls, themselves. It is possible the balls are bad. They can be replaced and even made larger to take up wear. It is possible the screw is bad. Look for more...
Some did. The screw did not. The handle end was different. I had to cut mine and use a piece of threaded rod. The nuts mounted differently as well. I was able to replace the apron gears and half nuts...
Well I'll be! I swapped the pick up units (resolver/tach generators) when I was troubleshooting. The problem moved from X to Z, so I ordered a PU unit. Turns out, there is something different between...
Hello,
I have had battery / parameter problems on this machine. I reloaded the parameters from photos of the screens when I first got the machine. Replaced the batteries, got rid of the parity error...
No I didn't try that. I don't remember seeing it at the time.
386864 Here is the schematic from the Taig site. I only used the bottom, as I didn't care for the switch. I used what I had on hand which was 10K pots so I doubled the value of all resistors to get...
I don't think it matters. I did it with the G540, but the Consew only has a little less than 5 volts on the potentiometer. I did wire it straight to the G540, but results were poor (erratic). I used...
The 12Z has horizontal lifting holes in the base.
MSM mill turn looks like a screen set for mach3, right?
I have successfully used two different mills to do turning. On the first, a Taig cnc mill, I hand wrote the G-code and used Mach 3 mill. The limitation there was the Z column rigidity. It was very...
Just wondering if a resolution was found?
Thanks, for your response. I thought that might be the case, but I wouldn't know how to do it. As to threading, all that is required is a reasonably steady speed. Even if if varied, the feed of the...
Any idea on how to reverse this with a digital input from the G540? Thanks!
Thanks for the help. My diagram shows the resolver on the right. I am talking about the left side, going from the NC to the servo amp. (The NC is the control, right?) Maybe it's a feed through for...

Just make sure that the drive is compatible with your current controller.

Good advice. I looked in the wiring diagrams for the Mazak, and there are 6 input lines...
Has anyone used a complete AC servo drive kit to replace existing drives in a commercial CNC machine? I have a 1987 Mazak QT8 lathe, and the cost of repairing 30 year old electronics is...
I kicked the concentration up to about 12% and the rust stopped. Thanks for all the replies.
Hello everyone,
This lathe is fairly new to me, and is running on a 10 hp American Rotary phase converter that came with it when I bought it. It was running ok before this problem. Now when I try to...
Thanks, everyone. I am looking at a filter for the coolant, as well as running it richer. Also intend to try some PH test strips and contact Qualchem for their opinion.
Thanks for the replies.
Hello everyone,
The company I work for bought a new Tormach PCNC 1100 with full enclosure and ATC. I am running Qualchem Xtreme cut 250C flood coolant at around 7% on a refractometer, using the...
