Iron Man - Which Harting connector was it in the end please? I have a Novamill which seems to use the same type but no control box so am going to use Mach 3. I don't want to start rewiring the mill so need to find a connector. Admin, please could you confirm that the Novamill and Novaturn use the s...

I have one of these turrets in bits for repair, i'm just about to remove the main mechanism so if i can help with some sizes give me a shout. angel-tech Can you post any pictures? Yes I would like to know the overall dimensions and diameters of any shafts or bearings. The internal mechanism seems v...

Hopefully this may help you while I determine what we have in the way of spares and how much info we can give away (if any): TP120/10 is 70mm square by 6mm thick TP121/1 is 100.5 long by 70mm square TP121/2 is 120mm diam. and overall 20.00/20.05 deep (including 1mm boss at back) most dimensions are...

Dear Denford Admin

I do not want detailed drawings. Can you just tell me the dimensions of the rectangular box? and the distance from the bottom to the center of the tool turret shaft in the picture in the above post.

Thanks,

Iron-Man

I'm not sure if we are able to give many detailed drawings away, but from the assembly drawings here, which ones are you interested in ? http://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3110 Dear Denford Admin Is it possible to get some basic dimensions of the auto tool turret ?, drawing no TP121....

1. Turn power on to machine and connect software 2. Slacken both locking nuts on grub screws (See picture below) 3. Slacken one grub screw and check if the tool point is going in the correct direction. I.e. is it aligning with the centre line of the chuck / billet ? 4. If the tool point is going in...

I have a novaturn here if you need any help with the connections. angel-tech Do you have the tool turret ? If yes, some pictures would be great. I believe that if a system used the auto tool turret, then it would need to run the spindle in reverse. Some of the pictures that I have seen show the tur...

I believe that I have located the correct 42 pin connector from the link above, thanks.

I also have one other question. Did the Novaturn use forward and reverse direction on the spindle motor ?


Thanks,

I am looking for a turret for a older model Novaturn.
Thanks,

Iron-Man

The NovaTurn was replaced by the Turn 270PRO which has a larger chuck and as a result the Turret has a larger disc plate. The control of the turret is simpler in that it uses a stepper motor to index. Position is set by homing to a marker switch then counting pulses as the turret revolves. The new ...

The steppers are 3A Bipolar wired in Series so they become 2 A. We have used a few different manufacturers but on the Nova machines they would have been Sanyo Denki (if the body is round) or MAE if the body is square. The first part number BI00835B is not on our system so could you check the number...

Your best bet is to try and find one second hand on an old machine.

I will try to find a older turret or modify a newer model.

Thanks,

Just purchased an older Novaturn without controller. I plan to convert to servo motors. I have downloaded all data and drawings from the site. But I have not been able to find any drawings with actual dimensions etc. I also would like to know if replacement parts can be purchased. I am interested in...
