Hi Fellas,

Every time I throw something away (to make room) it's not long before I need it and then regret throwing it.
Perhaps a 'recycle bin' (on full pay) that gives us a second chance should be mandatory for all employers.

Hi Sam,

It's a solenoid operated air bleed valve which destroys the vacuum in the pick up nozzle to drop the part when required (the ROC-R pump runs continuously). The solenoid is powered from the spindle supply (via a transformer) and controlled by the M3 and M5 commands in the GCode program.

Silly really, but keep on Boogie Boogie Boogie.

Don't ask why - lets just say that I should not make any bets after downing a modicum or two of ale.

Looks like a well constructed machine, substantial enough to also operate with a spindle.
I wonder what it's final selling price will be ?.

I remember reading about a similar problem which was traced to a document resident in the print que. If you are not going to use a printer with this computer then uninstalling the printer and it's driver may be helpful.
