Re: MIRAC UPDATING TO MASSO G3

I have looked at this a little closer. I think you should try the EMCOturn 120 turret. If you look at the page it shows the exact logic you will need to get the correct functioning of the turret. Now the main problem, I do not think that you can get the correct logic function from the Grayhill switc...

Re: MIRAC UPDATING TO MASSO G3

Can you read the part number on the Grayhill 8 position switch?

Re: MIRAC UPDATING TO MASSO G3

Have you double checked the absolute encoder for errors? If you can get it to index and lock, this is a good thing. Do you need to convert the logic to get correct tool number?

Also, which version of the turret do you have?

Re: NovaTurn Servo retrofit AMD Gizmosphere iBOB2 PCIe x1

A question to DENFORD

I have noticed that later models of the NovaTurn have a bed which allows different tools to be placed, as in this image:

My question is, can the flat bed of my older model lathe be interchanged with the one in the picture?

Thank you,

Re: All new electronics

Iron-Man - thanks ill have a look through it to see what you did. Is it a tachogenerator feedback that gives the spindle rpm control in your setup? i assume thats what ill be using to ensure threading happens correctly. Im also half way through a mill conversion, though im on a starmill not a triac...

Re: All new electronics

Iron Man- What is the control board on that beast? How are you planning to control your toolpost? I will be using PathPilot which is basically LinuxCNC using the HAL interface. A LPC1768 or PIC Micro will decode the PWM signals from PathPilot. I will not be using the Emco Turret. Configuration: Den...

Re: All new electronics

I have started making some progress with the lathe finally, i have been a little absent up until recently so seem to have missed that sprint drive. I will be running the machine on UK mains so the 180V wont be an issue. I seem to have hit a snag with the encoder feedback on the machine from the spi...

Re: good old TRIAC stopped working

Hello Oded !!

I have this same machine, just the color is different.
I plan on converting my machine to PathPilot and servos.
I cannot tell from your picture where the damage is located, can you point it out?
You should move your post to the Machines Triac section.
