Thanks for that.
That gives me an option if I can't get my turret working again.

Re: TU150U in need of TLC
Looking good. One question, see the plate that is sandwiched between the cross-slide and turret (the one with the two grubscrews to secure the cover that moves with the X-axis), did you happen to have it off? If I can't get the bits to fix my TOE80, the smallest turret I've found is 50mm centre heig...

Baruffaldi turret spares
Does anybody know where to get Baruffaldi spares in the UK? I had a slight mishap at the weekend, and now need some internal parts. I've tried the listed dealer on the Baruffaldi website, which is Maydown, but they don't even mention Baruffaldi on their own website, and I've not managed to contact a...

Re: 4th axis for mill
My advice for FWIW is to buy a reasonablby priced 4th axis direct drive or belt drive type, the worm and wheel type wear very quickly unless you pay big money for a high quality one. I have a Sherline one on a Triac and it really isn`t very good, when I get the chance/time to get back into my works...

Re: Cyclone TU150U spindle power clarification
If you want to get a rough idea how much torque will change, just run some numbers through a HP/Torque/Speed calc such as - https://ncalculators.com/electrical/horsepower-to-torque-calculator.htm Or if you want to get a bit more geeky, you could create a spreadsheet with a chart :lol: (hint - if you...

Re: Cyclone TU150U spindle power clarification
You mention that they maintain constant torque to 3kW although on my machine plate it says 2.2kW. Does your machine have a higher rating? I wonder if I would lose anything with 230V Delta as that has constant torque up to 2.2kW, the same as the rating plate on the machine? Sorry, should have said 2...

Re: Cyclone TU150U spindle power clarification
I think my Cyclone is a similar age. The motor is inverter rated, so the plate can be a bit misleading if you don't quite understand what the numbers mean. A key principle to understand, is torque is proportional to current. As motor speed increases, the voltage required to drive the current through...

Re: Triac stepper motor voltage/amperage
From my notes, the parker SD drives were set at 2A for X and Y, with Z running at 3A. I thought I had the motor part numbers somewhere, along with the datasheets, but I can't find them. However I'm sure they were ran very conservatively. I do have my voltage calcs, which puts optimum voltage for X&Y...

Re: Triac Spindle stopped working
What fuse have you checked?
Depending on the exact setup, there is likely to a main power supply fuse (which should be OK as the control rack is powered), then another DIN rail mounted fuse just for the spindle, then there could be another fuse on the actual speed controller itself.

BT35 to BT30 Conversion parts?
Given the ever increasing rarity of BT35 tooling, I'm wondering what would be needed to convert from a BT35 spindle, to a BT30 spindle.

Re: Sprint 400 10v input & grounding
It depends on your BOB.
Better ones will have the 0-10V circuitry isolated, provided you use an isolated supply (usually requires 12V), which is easily done with a DC to DC isolating supply.
And some will have an isolating supply on board.
Have you got a link to the BOB you're using?

Re: Wanted - Computer/Control mounting arm for Triac/Cyclone
My Cyclone never came with one, and now that I've nearly got a new control panel made for the Triac, I'd quite like to make one for the Cyclone, rather than just have a computer sat on top.
I can make one, but I was hoping somebody would have one lying around to save me the hassle.

Re: Triac spindle stalled, now won't start!
I've not currently got a feeds and speeds calc installed to calculate the required spindle torque, however I suspect that size cutter will be pushing the limits of the spindle. You have to remember, if the spindle is rated at 1kw at 3000RPM, then at 800RPM, you've only got around 260w of power at 80...

Re: Triac spindle stalled, now won't start!
Next step would be to do some testing for power with everything powered up. Start with the basics. With the cabinet open, turn the power on, then activate the spindle. Check that there is power on both sides of the main fuses, just to rule out any faulty fuse holders. Next check for power at the spi...

Re: Triac spindle stalled, now won't start!
Have you tested the fuses with a multimeter, or just visually?
Have you tested the fuse on the spindle drive?
Do you hear a click when you try turning the spindle on?

It could be a custom seal.
I'd think the best place to try would be somewhere that overhauls/repairs hydraulic rams.

Re: triac atc
Having just checked the first Triac brochure I've found, the spindle was rated at 1HP (I think some were lower, and some higher). So going by the KBIC manual (http://www.kbelectronics.com/manuals/kbic_manual.pdf - page 11), you need the resistor for 1hp on 180VDC, which should be part number 9841.
Re: triac atc
oblio, you do have the correct resistor installed in the KBIC for the motor size?
