Hey everyone,
I just acquired a Vanguard 5000 machine and am tinkering with getting it running. I know nothing about the machine itself, besides what I have read here about similar machines. It has a type of DOS based box that seems to be the motor control, but I really don't know too much more about it. I would like to do small machining and nameplates with it, but have to play with it first. ANY input is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If you don't mind, I would greatly appreciate a copy of your schematic for the ep module. I have a 3400 too and sending through dos mode is kind of clunky. I could benefit by being able to g-code the machine through Mach3. Thanks much.

Hi guys,
In my case I bought a NH1219 and the owner had junked the computer and all the electronics because it had stopped working and he could not find anyone who could look at it.
I traced the wiring for the DB25 connector, and connected it to a Rockcliff board (http://www.rockcliffmachine.com/electronics.htm) and added a 24 v power supply.
I have engraved a few signs with it but it is awkward and clumsy, not because of the new electronics, but because I have very little experience and the manuals are software manuals, not machine manuals.
I have about 25 cutters, some dull, many meant for huge letters. To try and find one size that can cut the fine letters yet still be useful on larger (1/2) letters is difficult. Setting zero is also difficult to get consistent results.
Using Mach 3 to control drives and several evals of software to create the g-code, which often has to be tweaked by hand.

Sandy,
Yes I do have a conversion I offer. It requires you to send me the EP controller. I charge $200 & return shipping cost.
I have done 4 of these so far.
Let me know if you are interested, [email protected]

i would love to have that schematic, I have a new hermes vanguard 7000.....I moditied the spindle to accept a laminate router....would like to run g code but would rather cut directly from corel 12........I have no engraving software with machine....but I heard you could run it directly from corel for 2d cuts? is this sound reasonable?
Hi Guys,m
I realize this post has been up for awhile.
Does anyone have a copy of this ep controller re-wire they'd be willing to share?
If so, it'd be a great help.

Thanks,

I too am looking for the schematic for the re wire. I am obtaining what is eithr a 7000 or a 9000. I do believe these to machines are essentially the same but the 9000 is just bigger. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance.

i would really like to have that schematic, I have a new hermes vanguard 7000.....I modified the spindle to take a wood flooring wireless router....would like to run g value but would rather cut straight from corel 12........I have no inscribing application with device....but I observed you could run it straight from corel for 2d cuts? is this audio reasonable?. . .

I'm getting closer to running. Acquired different software/dongle.
Still messing with the machine setup. Have something not quite right on my setup, x,y axis working fine...z not responding now.
Did anyone ever end up having a breakout schematic for the 7000 machine? I ended up with one and figure I'd either interface it parallel to the existing stepper drivers my self or replace the drivers with a gecko 540 or perhaps dynomotion snap amp setup if I could not otherwise determin how to directly interface parallel port pulses to the exsiting drivers. As I read some where it suggests you could get away with that.
thanks.

Can you run Gravostyle 98 on a win 7 computer?
My guess is probably not. What kind of machine do you have?
