  1. Re: Tormach PCNC1100 S3 - F6 fuse blown, doesn't move after replacing with new one

    Glad you got it fixed.
  2. Re: Tormach PCNC1100 S3 - F6 fuse blown, doesn't move after replacing with new one

    My 1100M did the same thing about a month ago. The first thing Tormach had me check was the capacitor output voltage (Cap 300 and 301 on your board). Mine was good and after replacing the fuse the...

    Re: 1100M Y Axis Growling/Groaning

    Thanks for confirming this. I may have a warranty claim. Hopefully I can convince Tormach to issue me a credit for the driver I just bought.

    Re: 1100M Y Axis Growling/Groaning

    I installed a new Y axis driver and after running the machine a couple of hours there is no evidence of the Y axis growling noise. It appears to be fixed.

    When I first got my mill internal and...

    Re: 1100M Y Axis Growling/Groaning

    That's the part number on my existing drivers. Probably going to end up ordering one.

    I noticed that the driver dip switches are set for 8.3A (peak current)/5.9A( RMS), which is the max driver current setting, and the standstill current switch is set to ON. The OFF setting reduces...

    Re: 1100M Y Axis Growling/Groaning

    I'm thinking that's what I'll be doing, ordering another driver, or I'm hoping Tormach will have pity on me and send me one.

    I did read yours and Popspipes posts about the burned connector. I've...

    Re: 1100M Y Axis Growling/Groaning

    Once the noise starts it's there while jogging and at cutting speeds. Not as noticeable at the slower speeds though, but it's still there.

    I opened a ticket with Tormach. That was an experience....

    1100M Y Axis Growling/Groaning

    Yesterday my 1-1/2 year old 1100M developed a Y axis groaning/growling noise. Thought for sure it was a bad ball nut the way it sounded. First I checked the ball nut bolts, the coupling bolts and...

    That seems to have worked. :banana: It reacted as you described. Next step is to actually set some tool offsets and see how that works out.

    Thanks for responding. The instructions that came with the ETS are attached. The instructions refer to "Z Max Travel" which is why I believe there is a over-travel circuit.

    I agree. The cheap oilers you and I bought, and others, are of questionable quality. My backup plan when my $20 dollar oiler fails, and it will, is to replace it with a pre-owned Bijur manual oiler...

    Re: Oiler issues

    I just installed one of these on my 1100M to oil the Z axis slide ways and ball nut. Granted it's a cheap import pump but it does work. If it breaks I'm out only $20.
