Hello Chris.
My apologies for not replying sooner! i didnt receive a notification from the forum on your reply!
Good news is the box is still available.
However i am unsure if it will solve the problem you have in a "plug and play" sense if im honest. This is something that would need to be ...

Re: Triac limit switches and mach 3
Hi Moray,
just a quick update,
In regards to the 24vdc inductive proximity switches required, in which you kindly provided a link for, i believe if im not mistaken that i could, instead of buying 3 of these (at £80+ each!) i could get away with only getting 1, just for the X home. as this is were ...

Re: Triac spindle runout
in regards to getting better bearings, i am now strongly considering this. must be a touch of madness in me seeing as i just probably ruined a pair of decent bearings!
as you mentioned kfm36, the 2MM208WIDUL fafnir bearings with ground preload spacer is tempting. ive seen pairs go for around £300 ...

Re: Triac spindle runout
Thank you for the replies
i managed to improve on this in the end. it required me removing the spindle from the head and reinstalling it. with the help of a heat gun, which i used the first time round but probably used it more effectively this time, and also a slight change in method.
instead of ...

Triac spindle runout
Hello all,
I am in the process of upgrading my Triac spindle.
I have a 1.6kw 8000 rpm AC servo motor ordered for the spindle and for this i thought it was essential that i upgrade the spindle bearings.
So i went with bearings rated for 10000 rpm to give me a good headroom, link below.

Re: Triac limit switches and mach 3

Hi Moray,
Thanks for your reply. i think ill do the same and replace the NAMUR system with new cables and 3 wire sensors or micro switches then. what sensors did you go with to home the axes? particularly the X axis as as the original proximity sensor for this is tiny! (may be the same for the ...

Re: Triac Way lube pump
Hi Moray,
Thank you for your response, i had not heard of lubetec before, i looked on their website and they seem like the perfect supplier so thanks. the pump on my machine is a Bijur TM1 C2896, they sell a C2890 model, maybe i can make this work? hopefully just "plug and play".

Triac Way lube pump
Hi all,
Im hoping you can help me. I need a replacement auto lube pump on my Triac. after a bit of googling to find a replacement i was shocked to find they go for silly money, cheapest i have found is around £500. is there an alternative i can use? such as a cheap chinese one?
Thank you

Re: X Axis Backlash Fanuc Triac
i have the same issue, unfortunately the denford forum doesnt seem keen to help people with backlash issues. i have taken my table off the machine entirely to find that my ballscrew nuts are very worn which would explain the nearly 0.07mm backlash i was experiencing. will have to get new ones/get ...
