I presume you have a Denstep top card with a red seven segment LED on the control card & not a NextStep card?

It may be worth checking the connections on both pots as the 0 volts & +5 volts DC do double up from one to the other.

1995 Micromill

There is a charge for both of them.

If you can create a DXF file VRMilling will open it & create a machine plan. There is a tutorial in VRMilling to guide you through.

Hi Paul

Have you thought about doing this as a 2D image in either QuickCAM 2D Design or Tecshsoft 2D?

The only spring we have fitted to the Heads over the years is, Disc Spring 28.0 O/D x 14.2 x 1.25

What model of Versalaser do you have & what extraction unit is fitted? It may be worth checking the air flow where it comes out of the extraction unit either on the back if it's a Bofa unit (Door on side) or underneath if it's a ULS unit 2 doors in front). I have seen an issue before on the ULS extr...

It may be worth checking that VRMilling version 2 is only installed once.

Try searching for the Windmill.ini file to check.

If you want I can check your licence at Denfords if you sned it accross.

We had several issues connecting using USB to RS232 adapters running on windows 10. We found that a UGREEN 20210 USB Serial Cable, USB to RS232 DB9 9 pin Converter worked correctly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-20210-Converter-Connecting-Controller-grey/dp/B00QUZY4UG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=K564T16GURE3&...

The earlier Micorouters were fitted with Sprint 1200 spindle drives which we then changed around 2002 to a KB Electronics KBLC 240DS Drive.


Both units are DC drives.

The Porter Cable we fitted would work with either an AC or DC supply.

I don't believe we use the battery on the SmartStep/DenStep control card.

The pots on the front are override pots.

The range on the spindle pot is between 50% & 120%. Therefore if you request a speed of 2000rpm & the override is at 50% the actual speed will be 1000rpm. It does not go below 50% so you can't stop it if you are running in in auto.

It may be best to monitor the inputs on the Fanuc 21I.
X7.0 = Position Bit 1
X7.1 = Position Bit 2
X7.2 = Position Bit 3
X7.3 = Position Bit 4
X7.4 = turret Clamp Signal
X7.5 = Strobe
X7.7 = Thermal Switch.

Hi Pete

It does sound like a build up inside the nut.

It's a while since I have had to strip one down but you are on the right track.

Martin

The clock speed should not effect anything.

Depending on what software you have depends on the Eprom. its will be best to use the original Eprom.

IIf you open the Help Tab in VRMilling then open up the Tutorial called "Cut part single tool" it should guide you through how to set the machine up if everything is correct.

Both bottom cards are the same so use the same connections.
