Hi,

Both QuickCam 2D and QuickCam Pro have the Roland Modela as an option in the post processor output.

Link now updated.

Hi Carl,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this.

The license files are named SecKey.tff and will be located in either:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Denford

or

C:\Program Files\Denford

Within the folder for the software package you have installed. such as VRMilling5

Hi Max,

Apologies i didn't get back to you on this previously.

you are correct in that QuickTurn 2D will look at the shank of the centre drill when deciding if it can use that tool or not. which is correct but it doesn't help when you're trying to use a smaller drill.

For example if i wanted to ...

Hi Max,

it looks like it must be related to some settings you have made within Quickturn2D Design. i have opened and simulated your drawing without errors on a standard installation of QuickTurn. i suggest you make a fresh install of the software.

did the machine manage to complete the centre ...

Hi DTTechboy,

Please see this forum post which has downloads and instructions on how to fine tune your offsets when machining a STEM Racing car.

https://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=6077&p=26070&hilit=jig+setup#p26070

if the offset changes over the length of the car, then this ...

What issues are you seeing?

Thanks

Hi Ant,

The only files you will need to copy across are the Offsets/Tools. Open the Offsets/Tools and a new menu will appear on the top bar called Offsets / Tooling. Click this and Click backup, once you click ok to the first backup it will give an option to Backup file to another drive, click Yes ...

It sounds like you have a scaling issue with the software and this may be why the OK button within machine parameters cannot be seen. i would certainly look at downloading the updated VR turning software from the website as the scaling issue would have been resolved. alternately you can set your ...

The machine is supplied with 2x Tommy bars. these fit into the holes in the chuck to loosen the jaws.

Hi,
please see the change log for V1.55 of VR Turning

https://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6348

the release fixed an issue when changing between imperial and metric mode.

VR Milling 5 does add lots of features and is required when moving to a newer OS such as windows 7, 10 or 11. a ...

I have expanded on this Jig Setup a little with the inclusion of a 4th axis program and a PDF document which outlines the steps required to use the jig setup program. The new jig program also removes less material from the model block, in most cases this leaves the block free to be used for ...

Hi Enzo,

You can download the software from:

https://denford.co.uk/software-downloads-support/

V1.55 is the latest version that is compatible with your machine.

but you will need the license file.

if you do not have the license file then you will need to email technical@denford.co.uk regarding ...

Please see updated drawing for F1 Model Block. changes made to the size of the cartridge hole.

Hi Yngve,

We are currently working with Autodesk to add all of the machines into the software for simulation. I know this answer doesn't help you straight away but hold tight and we will have all of our machines added to fusion 360.

They are direct drive with a coupling.

the newer machines use oldham style couplings but some of the earlier ones use a flexible coupling, which can break.

you can inspect the coupling by removing the bellows at the spindle end and removing a small cover plate from the bearing housing underneath ...

so for this, I would disable the 10mm drill bit within QuickTurn 2D and let the boring bar take out the material up to the 10.5mm.

to get a radius between the external face and the bore, when you change to internal mode start with a curve and create your own radius, you can edit the values after ...

it sounds as though the Z axis has stalled, can you manually jog it past the point it stalled? you may have something under the covers causing the axis to jam.

I would start with trying to jog the machine first though and see if it moves freely.

ok no problem. I entered the data from the tool into QuickTurn2D, as you stated it cannot go down into the smaller bores.

What I did was reduce the value of f to 1 (WF on your datasheet). Theoretically this should just reduce the size of the cutting face. This change does allow the tool to now ...

Can you double check the values you have entered for the tool or you can post them on here.

I have just trailed this myself and I am able to simulate the boring of a 6mm to 3mm tapered hole. this is using a 1mm boring bar as an example.
