I have a nice Boxford TCL160 (1994 build) complete with ' 8 Way Tool Change Turret' and running in 'Stand alone' mode.
There is a Mitsibushi Frequol Inverter Z024-S0.37K controlling the spindle.
The Z axis has a limit switch fitted which I have tested and is fine.
All other functions work, tool position, spindle fwd/rev, speed up/down.
I will eventually want to convert it to Mach3 however before I do I want to see how it performs with its native software.
I have 4.3.1 but it wont run on windows 8 64bit machines (not surprisingly)
Has anyone done this.
Are there any other ways to get this running or do I have to purchase a 386PC and install the software ?
Any help would be good.
Many thanks
George
