Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Hi Steve,

I'm not running them off the card or the power supply, I'm running it via USB off my laptop. Porting the cable out of the back of the black box where the existing USB cable comes. Hope that makes sense.

John

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Just an update, as might be useful for someone with a similar issue. I have since fitted two 120mm computer case fans that run off USB to the inside of the door of the black cabinet, directly facing the control card. The black box has an 'exhaust fan' for removing hot air but no cooling fans. The ca...

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Exactly what I was thinking Pete. Maybe try some PC case fans with their own power to add extra cooling?

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Machine has been excellent all Autumn, Winter, and Spring, but now the Summer has arrived a familiar problem has occured. The dreaded ' device driver call failed'. I have no idea why it is happening in the Summer only, but the fan in the black box is blowing cold air out so that doesn't feel too hot...

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Apart from the alignment of the nuts, is there anything else I need to check when reassembling?

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Thank you both so much for your help. After all that, the electrician was about to follow the advice of bypassing the switch, went to one of the terminals suggested and the wire just fell out. It wasn't in there properly or tightened down. So, we aborted the plan, put the cable back tightened it dow...

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

I have an electrician coming tomorrow. It looks like Version 5 if I'm correct? It's very difficult to tell as it was upgraded from it's original control card.

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Here are pictures of the inside of my machine and the wiring. I have all the schematics, but they are from when the machine was manufactured and are dated 2000\2001, on the old 'DenStep' controller. Since then it has been upgraded to 'NextStep' so not sure how relevant, useful these diagrams are now...

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

I have taken your advice, taken a step back and am working on the problems one by one: 1. The spindle. Replaced the brushes, and it works fine. 2. The guard switch saying 'guard open' constantly. I have opened the switch checked it thoroughly and it was clean. Re tightened all connections and checke...

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

No, how do I do that? My dad just pointed out there is some dark black marks on the vents of the motor.

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Could you explain in more detail how to bypass the switch? I know I need the diagram, which I think I have, but what would I need to do\be looking for?
Thank you so much for your prompt responses, and help.

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Had a quick look and took the lock off but it doesn't look too dirty at all. I keep thinking I might need to replace the lock but then when I press the 'emergency stop' button the lock activates, which makes me think the lock is fine, just something wrong with the signals being sent, as on VR millin...

Re: Micro Router 2nd Hand

Thank you so much for your quick response. The guard lock is really playing up today!!!! I have had a look on ebay and found a few 'Allen Bradley Guardmaster's' 2nd hand at a good price. I will have to check, but they look similar to mine. Are they easy to fit?? The problem with the offset seems to ...
