Hi Martin

You suggested I check the fuses in our last communication, which I did, found 3 and all were good.

I bought a Novaturn NS recently and have so far not been able to get it running. I tagged onto another thread about a similar issue, so in a last ditch effort to find some answers I thought it worth starting a new thread about it, in the hope it catches someone’s eye. These are the things I have don...

Is there some other way to diagnose the system? or should I give up and do a Mach3 conversion?

Once again, I sincerely appreciate the help

Found 3 fuses and checked them all. All are good unfortunately

Not getting any other warnings or dialogue boxes.

I'll take a look at the fuses as suggested

Thanks Martin

So I made up a new cable following this connection guide https://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=231 It didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Controller on and 7 segment display shows an E flashing Hit the "Machine" button and get an "8" on the display Hit the "Home" button on the machine control di...

I will follow your advice and make up a cable direct to the internal board.

There'll be some pressure to get it right soon as I have parts to make on the Novaturn.

Hopefully I'll be able to report back success

Thanks for your help

Thanks Martin

So a new lead based on the data earlier in this topic then?

I've been having similar issues connecting my NS machine to the VR Turning software. Pretty sure the cable's the right one (it's marked as such and has the right plugs) but I don't have the upgrade software on the PC nor do I have the original discs. VR Turn is Version 1.39.0.0. Got the same green 7...

I now have the PC that was connected to the lathe and it has the software and license, which is a massive relief! I'd like to use a modern laptop if possible, so: is the software upgradable? (I think it was 2000-2001 version) or likely to run under Windows 10 somehow? If I just cloned the HDD into a...

Can you post some pictures of the serial label & the control unit.

Done.

Just bought a Novaturn which is practically brand new, but the pc used to run it is missing. I have some questions: Do I actually need VR Turn to run the machine? (I believe this to be true) Anyone have an idea of what a license file costs from Denford? If I use a modern laptop do I put a UC100 to g...

What kind of temperature would be considered normal?

I also found a good instructional video about spindle bearings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grUdsTTRGl4&t=3244s

I was really careful not to over tighten the lock nut. I only went as far as removing any play and no further (I thought anyway) so probably almost no preload on the bearings. On startup I waited a couple of minutes between raising spindle speeds so that I didn't stress the parts too much, but it go...

Hoping someone can give me some advice. I have a Mach3 converted Novamill, which after some very minor use started making some horrible sounds from the spindle bearings. So I got the specs and installed new bearings (correct specs) packed with spindle grease (not the Denford specified grease) I did ...
