Hi, my Multicam MT22 1996 has been very problematic lately half the time i turn it on it has a blinking cursor qnd not showing "motion controller" when i am trying to home it i get Power failure...

Vectric post processor works great for me, but i do not run the jobs directly i have DNC handling all the files so i can pick files from the files from the Multicam pendant.

I usually only cut 3d with my Multicam MT22, but today i had a DXF file up for running. When i cut 3D files i have to make certain the gcode has -Z for going down into the material and positive Z...

Wow this thing is a dinosaur, its the first controller you have here made by extratech completely diffrent from mine. seems like its no longer supported by multicam in any way so yeah i would go for...

When you get some pictures of the thing i can check what kind of documentation i can find :)

Hmm I also blown the fuses here at home, its a nightmare the machine is rated 20A i only have 16A fuse. i run it at only 220v but I think the machine itself is 3phase since its an enourmous...

Yes, i got everything working, only thing left to figure out is the second spindle i have 2xPerske spindles on mine, never used more than one.

How is yours connected ? Serial or paralell or LAN ?...

I wonder if your machine is an MT 22 ? i have one made in 1997 it also has 2 spindles like yours. I can probably point you in the right direction i have gathered a lot of info on this machine. This...

Ill try rhino cam, sounds like a good idea i couldnt find out where to look entities info.

Thank you :):cheers:

Well, i got the DXF cut into size, but now Deskproto cannot load it, it says that the file is empty or missing entities. seems like deskproto only accepts certain DXF files .... maybe i should try...

Ill try that Thank you guys :)

Hi Txcncman

i have a DXF file too large for my machine it contains several items.
Any idea how to split it easy into several DXF files that fits on my table

Thats one nice machine ;)

What boards are on this thing, i have a PDF containing info about all the controllers and what software they support im not sure if PSS really is supported

im not an expert

[QUOTE=NSchlee;1134792]Oops, spoke to fast, thought I had it but no such luck.

Installed PSS and I can get the controller to open the DNC Files folder(s), then I can select a file, but when I...

Im not sure if you can use them but i found a few vs mini units on ebay some cheaper than the repair cost.

i have a multicam mt22 with 2 perske...

Good instructions, :) Thanx !

any ideas about method of breaking new spindle bearings, i belive its not a good idea to put it to work before running it a while first ?

Hi !

Think i found a solution after all then, ill use ceramic bearing for the main bearing (the one closest to the tool) but ill buy a high quality steel bearing for the support bearing that...

Im in the progress of swapping bearings on my perske spindle on multicam MT22.
They use SKF bearings standard with double rubber seals. I was thinking of possibly swapping them for ceramic bearings...

my machine was used for signs and wood engraving by previous owner, it can do non ferrous metals. I might install a mist system for cutting aluminium.
Im planning to build custom...

Sure, the thing runs good now, but i realized i have a lot to learn.I am getting into gcodes and toolpath creation, I can now read gcodes (very useful when troubleshooting). All in all im pretty...

Managed to figure it out, press surface home button and hit Zero it will then go down until it hits the auto z block.
