Denford Software & Machines

There is a TU150-E lathe,with the hard disk driver damage and the soft disk lost, we can not get it work again,which software can i use to get it work again?

thanks so much!

You can download the TU150 softwarefrom,

https://website.denford.ltd.uk/dos-vinta ... formation/

You will need the Flstep & Drivers2 & make it a boot disc.

I see you have the serial number EO5299, I have the same machine with serial number EO5266 manufactured in November. Small world I guess. Mike

Thanks Martin!

I have created DOS on harddriver and boot ,decompress "drivers2" and "flstep" to C:\denford .Which drivers in "drivers2" do i need to
load for the motion card(link to com3) , and keypad on desk-top TUTRO (link to com2), what should be add into "autoexec.bat"?

hello mike2424!
Does your machine use dos?

Yes it uses dos. I am in the learning mode at this time as I try to spend time with it between jobs here in the shop. I want to use the machine to make taper pins, but I keep screwing up the programming. Maybe a couple more beers and it will all make sense. Mike

I have a TU150U, but probably the same procedure, did you see this post:

These are the Flstep.go & Flstep.opt files that were sent out with the machine.
You will need to copy the files over the standard set on the disc.

thanks Martin !!

Can I download these two files from the website or only create them myself?

They should have both been created when you downloaded the FLSTEP software. You can just replace the text in the files to suit.
