Re: Triac Tripping Breaker at high RPM
Just to wrap this up.... Power was still tripping at high speed and if I took a medium size cut, got a £7 tachometer from ebay to check the rpm and it was running fast. (3600rpm when set to 3000rpm) Dialled it back a bit but it was still tripping power taking cuts that it did before. So I finally go...

Re: Triac Tripping Breaker at high RPM
Got the motor back fully refurbished and still getting the power tripping problem. Will try the replacement sprint drive board, is it fine to just set the pots by eye against the old board?

Loud Buzzing noise coming from cabinet
Turned my Cyclone on the other day and there was an intermittent buzzing noise, sounds like an electrical buzz. A few days later and the buzz is constant and seems to have got louder, took off all the panels and it seems to be coming from the spindle motor or Z axis motor. Anyone got any idea what t...

Re: Triac Tripping Breaker at high RPM
Took the motor to servo repair place in Bristol, apparently there was a washer loose rattling round inside, which was causing the motor to short. Luckily it didnt damage it enough to need a rewind. Having it re furbished as it has been taken apart. Hopefully this will solve the issue then I can retu...

Re: Triac Tripping Breaker at high RPM
Hi Moray, Thanks for your help again. It did report as spindle drive fault when I first changed the spindle bearings, as the top parallel bearing doesn't actually touch the spindle shaft so I pushed it against the spindle slightly so the bearing would spin. Think this pressure put extra load on the ...

Triac Tripping Breaker at high RPM
Just replaced the spindle bearings on my Denfored Triac, was running nice, until... I made a mistake the other night and picked up the wrong tool offset, rapid 15mm into ali with a 6mm spot drill at 4000rpm. Got a 1008 spindle drive fault, the 10a timed fuse had blown so I replaced it. I then turned...

Re: X Axis Backlash Fanuc Triac
Thanks Angel-tech, but i had already got the drawing and got rid of the backlash. Now I need to replace my spindle bearings and they feel rough when i turn the spindle and very noisy when running, do I need any special tool to remove the bearings from the casting and from the spindle? Bearing puller?

CASTROL SPHEEROL AP 3
Was looking for some Bearing grease a while ago for the axis bearings on my Denford Triac, the service manual suggested BP LS 3. I found out that this has been discontinued and the replacement suggested was CASTROL SPHEEROL AP 3. I bought a case as it was a better deal andf now have a load surplus, ...

Denford CNC Baruffaldi Lathe Tool Holders

The bore is left undersize so that it can be trued up in the machine. £28 each delivered. Please not these will NOT fit on a 6 station turret. Chemi...

Spindle Bearings Fanuc Triac
The spindle on my Triac is quite noisy, when taking a larger cut there is a rattly/grindy noise from the spindle housing.
Does anyone have some pictures of the spindle disassembly procedure?

X Axis Backlash Fanuc Triac
Hi I have put a clock on my triac table and i can move the handwheel 0.05mm before the table moves, also i can push and pull the table by the same amount. I guess that this is some backlash and can be solved by adjusting gib strips and tightening tab nut. I have taken the cover off the lefthand end ...

Re: Tool holders
Hi, I just made a load of these for my cyclone. They are rough bored to 22mm the idea being they get bored true in the turret. You can buy a couple of these off me if you like, or you can have the two I already had which are bored to 25mm. James

Hi, The feedrate Override pot on my Fanuc Triac doesnt seem to work. I have put an m49 in the beginning of my program to ensure that any M48 is cancelled but still does full feed regardless. Anyone know how I can check if the Pot is working? Also I can copy Z position straight into the tool offset p...

Did the machine manage to find the tool carousel height on its own or did you have to tell it the offset?
Edit... Just had a look, obviously the he carousel is attached to the head so no calibration needed.

Re: Cyclone power chuck wanted
Been busy so only just had a chance to take the chuck off so I'm resurrecting this post!
The cyclone has an a2-3 nose on it, does anyone have a spare air chuck and associated plumbing for a fanuc cyclone? Or details on where I can get it?
Thanks

Re: Member's favourite coolants
Hi,
I use Fuchs ecocool ultralife A, I find that even if I leave my machine for a week I don't get any bacterial growth. Not too expensive either, you can buy it from Cromwell tools.

Maximum chuck size
My cyclone has a 125mm Pratt burnard 3 jaw chuck, just wondered if it is possible to mount a 160mm chuck. Obviously will need to machine a larger adapter plate.
Thought that I had read somewhere the maximum chuck size for a cyclone was 150mm but can't find any info now.
