Re: VMC 1300 Pro spindle fails to rotate

The Bernstien Guard switch contacts sometimes bounce when the solenoid locks. This is generally the case with older switches and we made a change to the software to try and minimise this. The guard switch type has varied over the years and the earlier switches had contacts rated for higher currents ...

Re: Novaturn

Hi George,
It is normal for the motors to run hot, the axes motors are energised while stationary to hold position and the turret motor is constantly holding the turret disk in position so this is not a problem.

The expanded code says X12430 so this would be a move out of limits.

Re: VMC 1300, adjustment procedure to eliminate play in toolholder collet/spindle/drawbar assembly

Can you remove the pullstud from the tool that does not fit correcly and check that it fits to the taper correctly. You should then see it it fits correctly. The bottom of the drawbar should hit the top of the pullstud as you release the tool. This will help a tool release if stuck on the taper. Tig...

Re: Turn 270M will not home in X

Hi, Do you have a manual toolpost or an 8 station turret?

When selecting the machine type the Turn270PRO should be selected if a turret and Turn270PROM if a manual tool post.

The machine type dictates the direction of travel when homing.

Re: Is it possible to trim lines?

The trim feature is now standard in V2 of QuickCAM.

You still have to explode objects to be able to trim them.

None of the springs should be flipped they should all be fitted oposing each other and the 10.5 should be standard for all.

Re: Using TRIAC with America voltage 110V 1ph, or 220V 2ph

The machine was probably supplied with a seperate autotrancformer in a box. this would convert the 110V to 230 or 240V.

The Turn270PRO will not cut does not have a command for taper thread cutting.
