I set the reserve at £2000, I think thats realistic and decided to keep it if it doesn't make the reserve. It is easily worth more than that, it just depends who is bidding on the day. I fealt a bit sorry for the bloke who let his go for £1500 last week, but mine has the tool changer and comes with ...

Item number 200353089802

I have a working Triac with Auto Tool Change and a PNC 3 Controller in my garage that I am thinking of selling if there is sufficient interest. I have powered her up and run through all of the functions this week and it is still working OK. I have an RS232 lead and downloaded the correct programming...

We fitted several different drives so it may be easier if you can post a picture of the drive.

Thanks very much everyone, dropped spindle speed and now changes every time

If I rember correctly the spindle needs to be running at no more than 116rpm when it is looking for the orientation signal. As Boris612 says you can adjust the min speed on the drive card. There will be a pot marked Min which can be adjusted. Looks like this might be my problem. Tried tool change t...

Further progress tonight, took lid off and inspected proximity sensor, all seemed to be clean. Wobbled wire connections for good measure. All worked fine for a good hour. Left machine on for a while whilst watching telly, went back and error message again. Darn thing!

There's a promimity switch under the cover just below the air ram, and as best I can work out is that it switches off the motor and hopes it stops in the right place! (well it usually works) If you can get it to do it once it doesn't seem that that would be the problem :? Go on tell us what control...

Then its the PNC 3 Control you have

Roy

Looks like you have been in my garage this morning and taken a picture of my machine. I guess that means I have a PNC 3 controller

can you confirm the control type. this sounds like an NEE PNC3 controller ? How can I identify my controller type? Most of the controls are in a pull out drawer underneath the machine with a screen and keypads being on the front of the draw. The spindle drive and tool changer pnematics in two small...

does it change tools by typing in M6 T3 etc? what control does it have? can you post a snippet of the relevant code? When you put this kind of code in or perform a tool change command via the menu's in Manual mode it does the same thing. In my response to the denford post, I have noted that I can n...

I'm not sure about how the T/C works, but it sounds like the spindle is spinning and slowing in order to orientate ready for dropping the tool off ? A spindle drive error could mean that its being asked to run too quickly, or has tripped out (trying to stop too quickly ?) when trying to orientate D...

I have just become the lucky owner of a Triac. After a couple of problems powering up, everything appeared to be working OK at first. All axis worked, the spindle started and the ATC changed the tools. I wrote a simple program and this too appeared to run OK. I then put in a tool offset and since th...
