Hello,

I just inherited an AXYZ 4000 router that was made in the mid 90's with an old AMC controller. I am trying to retrofit the router since the frame is a good solid structure. Looking in the...

I completely agree with you Gerry. I am considering something larger for the x-axis beam since thats where a lot of the weigh will be considering the static, dynamic and cutting loads. I noticed that...

I have started off by designing the base platform. The base platform uses heavy duty gauge 80mm aluminum extrusions. I particularly like this extrusion because their walls are 4mm thick, and they are...

Hello Gerry,

The platform I am looking for is around 4' x 4' but would be extending it to a 5' x 10' in the future. I am told by the vendor that the same plates could then be used when expanding....

Doing some more research, I think I have come down to what RoverCNC offers, any thoughts?

- Gantry kit:I love the 20mm thick plates that they offer -...

Hello,

It's been a while since I actually revisited a build design. Often I am encountered with fabricating stock that challenges the traditional limits of machines I currently own on the shop...

Hello,

I just took ownership of a used Lilian 3VH variable speed manual milling machine. Does anyone have a similar mill who can share any manuals of information on them? I need to take the motor...

Hello,

Does anyone have a Lilian 3VH manual and an electrical diagram to share? I just purchased a used mill but am lost as the motor was removed and some parts are missing like the drum switch. ...

Just an update, tried to temporarily ground Pin4 to body but motor still burning up :-(

This is inside the cap!

411870

So if I understand correctly, if I open up the plastic cap and trace through the inside of Pin4 and run a ground wire to the body of the spindle that should work?

When I do a continuity test between Pin4 (on the spindle) and the spindle body - I get nothing.....

I dont have any 220v bulbs to test with :-(

I did set the parameters as you suggested, and after about 90s of running almost burnt my hand when placed over the spindle :-(

These are the readings I found:

d1-003=2.2 ( VFD Rated Power )
...

The spindle spec is as follows:

Voltage=220
Amps=8
Hz=400
RPM=24000

Hello,

When powering up and running the spindle for about 30s, its runs so very hot that you cant keep you hand over the spindle for a couple seconds! The spindle is rated for 8A and the VFD is...

I totally agree sportybob, I am sold to the Milltronic brand!

Thanks for the info, just ordering now :-)

Appreciate it as always!

Sam.

Now that I have my spindle running, I am now at a point to load up the tool-changer when I came across the documentation that the pull-studs for this spindle requires a CAT40 60 degree angle :-(

Hello,

I am not sure if this helps but I would like to share my experience with my Milltronics Partner 1 Series H that I just bought used. The PC-3 was dead on it so I had to go through the...

Hello Experts,

I am new to Fadal and I just made a move on a 1994 Fadal VMC-15 yesterday, and had it put on my trailer for a long drive back (about 6 hrs.).

I just made a move on a Induma Milling Machine but have no information on it whatsoever. Can someone help identify and if possible for someone to share any information or manuals for this puppy.

Thank you all!

Yes, I was able to get things sorted out and all works good.

When I issue a M29 before ( #1 below - running the spindle) it orients but if I issue a M29 ( #2 below) after I run the spindle ( #1 below), the spindle spins very slowly and never gets oriented!

Hello All,

First off I would like to thank this community for helping each other out, its the best thing for us learning how to handle CNCs!!

Hello All,

If I disable my tool changer by setting the number of tool parameter to zero (0), will the controller still recognize my tool table configuration and information?

What I am hoping to...

Thanks again George. I am betting that the pressure is dropping as I can hear my compressor kicking in. WIll check it in the morning.

Shaffin.

Hello George,

I did find the following parameter:
