I have a few other little quirks I have to figure out, such as the toolpath not showing in Mach 4, but that is a different discussion. Everything is done except my spindle reverse problem mentioned above. Anyways I ran my first part last night with my conversion.

I gave up software work for a living about 6 years ago and am now back to my origins in mechanical engineering but still have the software knowledge for use when required.Īlextaylor23 wrote:Seems like this thread has lost some interest. Later MS seemed to hide everything with a GUI but then later some things went back to command prompts only, I remember a colleague mentioning he had been at a database seminar and when they were told run a command prompt a guy next to him asked what a command prompt was. I was never that familiar with DOS but having gotten into software engineering in the early 1990s some knowledge was required for some of the basics such as formatting. It's a bit like dragging out a LP these days for youngsters who may never have seen one although I gather they're becoming more popular again and I certainly have a few albums where the analogue sound from an LP is far better than CD album version. I still have the odd PC with a floppy drive that operated last I checked. It'll be an education for them if they hadn't seen a floppy disc before and at least you seem to still have the hardware to work with them, they probably wonder what could possibly have be done with 1.44 Mb. It is quite a big job to do but a nice Winter Project all the same

You can control the spindle motor from the same unit and it takes the output from the Servo Motor Encoders so it fully controls the velocity/speed/position of the Servos, exactly the same as on full size CNC machines One the easiest to use/setup is the CSMIO/IP-A from CS Labs in Poland, not the cheapest but it is Industrial quality, you will also need some control software like for example Mach3 or Mach4 etc.

The Baldor servos are probably an older type and I think will be DC Servo Motors, if so then the Drive Amplifiers for them will require a +/- 10Volt input from an Analogue output Motion Control system, very much the same as the Spindle motor, you won`t be able to use a Step/Direction output from a simple Break Out Board. You probably need to contact Denford and get the software for your machine, I think you have to download it and put it on a Floppy disc in order to load it into the control, that`s why it is telling you the control software isn`t being loaded at startup.

I have obtained a Triac VMC with ATC I cannot get the onboard computer to go passed displaying 'NO SYSTEM ON DISC' so I think I need to retro fit a new system, looking on this thread it appears most are using the Gecko board to drive the steppers, my mill has servos with Baldor drivers does anyone have any idea what I would need to drive this machine now.
