trying to help a friend convert
and dont have a reflective type encoder fitted to mine

thanks

yes still interested , iv'e email'd you directly

anyone have info on the dc motor used in the orac toolchanger

i'm looking at supplying a seperate dc supply , so wondered what volts / current rating it is

i presume the dc motor cover can be removed , although removing the 2 grub screws , i still cant slide the cover off
but just in case iv'e ...

thanks found it !

anyone have the opto sensor board schematic GSM PC1607
for Orac Lathe
and how to set the correct pulse , i have a feeling either the sensors not aligned or the timing is out , so looking for general info

I'm still looking for a toolchanger ! , i missed this one , story of my life

anyone know where to obtain the digiplan CD20 circuit diagrams ! , 3 dead drives require open heart surgery
various health problems .

if my memory serves their is information on the Mach3 forum on how to do this , but it should not be too difficult

anyone converting / striping an orac ?

looking for the inspection light , and plastic sliding shield

Adee ,

I'd be interested in parameters and set up too

are you using a ridgid tapping chuck ?

if not make sure your feed rate is as near the tpi of the thread your tapping

Benny,

the file would need to be imported into a 3d drawing package and then manipulated to produce gcode etc .

if you need more info , or if we can help etc .

Dave

Don't forget steppers loose torque the faster they run .
so it falls off dramaticly once it reaches it's spec'd limits

if you need torque slow the axis down etc

also their may be other switches connected as if they are keyboard switches etc , hence why when you unplug the origional keyboard you still get the same error .

other than that it would appear to have a faulty pcb , difficult to trace without a diagram .

but the chances are it's a short across ...

Keyboard error , usually means a stuck key somewhere .
so check your keys , especialy the more often used ones

it's a pain but the best way is with a multimeter across the contacts of each key , as they may be more than one , and in the absence of a diagram etc . disconnect the keyboard from the ...

Q32 is the board designation ,
their in to220 type cases , on the main pcb theirs 2 types so presume NPN & PNP types


btw reply'd to your pm also
