I have a 1990 Denford cyclone ex-education machine that requires S'Ram Back up and the parameters resetting. The machine is mechanically in very good condition as it was an ex-college machine never in production I had it just for prototyping motorcycle parts but due to the time it will take to get repaired I have had to replace the machine quickly so this is now up for sale.
If you have the time to get it repaired it would make a fantastic Lathe or if your a hobbyist it could be converted to MACH3
Im looking for sensible offers for a quick sale.
It is located in my workshop in Wolverhampton and I can load it with a hoist on to a trailer or pick up.
Please call me for any further info Andy 07737472770 or email me jinks110@hotmail.co.uk for pictures

Re: DENFORD CYCLONE FANUC Spares or repair
Is it a true Fanuc then ?S'Ram Back up and the parameters resetting
If so then it'd be a great machine without a retrofit to Mach.
It will have a small memory but you shouldn't need that much on a lathe anyway, especially if you get into Cycle and Macro programming. Drip feed is another option as well.
A retrofit to Mach won't be that straight forward and IMO a step backwards for the machine...it'll have AC Servos that would need replacing with stepper motors and drives.
Feel free to post a couple of photos btw

Hi Guru
Is your lathe still available? Could you please send me some pictures of the lathe and tell me a little more about it? Are the slides still good and what control does it have on? Please mail me on beukes1140@gmail.com?
Thanks
Johann
