This sounds a lot like an older version of what we have now- Is the motor/gearbox a little 1 inch diam motor with the first one or two output gears being made of hard plastic stuff , and the rest are metal ? It also has a black heatsink cap over it - which gets very hot ? If it is, then this is a la...

Sorry about your problems, its quite hard to tell what is going and whats been done (and by who) in the past from just a couple of sentences, but I can assure you that the machine and software you have will work together properly (even if the bootloader is out of date). Like most updates of any soft...

At first glance, I think you need to change your F150 's to something like F1 - because the feed is now per rev of the spindle you will have a massive axis feedrate. Running at 1500RPM, F150 will give you 225000 mm/min :shock: - a bit more than our machines can cope with . There should be an error m...

This could be the control type is wrong and the software is looking for something different to what is there: Check the basics: You have the correct machine selected - it tells you on the main title bar (eg, Virtual Reality CNC Milling - ROUTERV5PRONS) Try changing the control type parameter if the ...

If the axes do not move, but the control is powered up and connected to the PC, then it could be: Emergency stop contact is not allowing power to the drives One of the fuses has blown (F1 in particular) The input voltage from the main transformer is too high/low Check that you have 24VDC and 28VAC o...

We need to know the machine serial number and can you check the voltages to the control board - logic and drive supply on the 5 - way orange connector. Its quite a big job, but you could try running the machine without the Z axis brake connected (both electrically and physically) The problem here is...

The override could be a factor. Simulation would probably ignore feedrates or overrides and look OK until you try it for real. I'm not sure now what the problem is, when you're saying X or Y will not run - could it be that the first move is trying to get to a position outside the limits of the machi...

Bradders is right - we have had a look for the springs, but only have spares for our Triac tool changers. The machine (and toolchanger) was imported by us from Taiwan, where we then fitted a Fanuc 0M B(?) control and drives system. As it happens the agent we used is still in business :shock: Luke Ch...

You can see from the product literature that QuickCAM 3D only does simple raster toolpaths whereas Pro allows for more intelligent machining: eg, Pencil finishing will clean up the ridges left behind from a raster cut, or Combination milling creates waterline passes over steep features, and raster p...

Hi, We never got around to implementing the pocket cycles (even though they are mentioned in the old help :oops:) However, we did implement fanuc style macro programming and sub programming, which we think is more useful :D If you can work out whats going on - its will be pretty straight forward for...

In the QuickCAM 4D Tutorial directory there is this pdf "F1 4th Axis D Type Manufacturing guide.pdf" It shows how to machine an F1 car using the rotary axis. However, it uses QuickCAM 3D to generate the toolpath for each side of the car. I don't think anyone has tried to use QuickCAM 4D to machine a...

"Invalid platform code" means that the compiled mint file (*.mex) which is downloaded to the controller is the wrong one - it has been compiled for different firmware or control platforms. If you have control type 7 then this will download NovaMill.mex If you have control type 9 (latest firmware) th...
