My Boxford VMC190
« on: November 23, 2006, 04:25:08 PM »
Here are some pictures of my part complet Boxford Mill,

The axis are working

Spindle part done just waiting for some more info on that.

The limits are giving me a problem (proxy switches at 24V)

Tool changer is part done, just working on the Mod IO macro for that.

Coolant,  the poor little thing would drown   ;D

Control panel, haven't even started that bit yet, lots of ideas but no action.

Graham.

Looking good Graham.

Hold off on the control panel. I suspect pending mach screen developments may steer you in a new direction.

Hi Benny,

you may be right,  I have coded many languages but never done flash,  I might have to dip a toe soon though.

Hi Graham,
Just looked at your pictures and supprised to see It appears to be the same as the 'namelass' mill I am rebuilding.
I did not know it was a Boxford, you see all I was given was the table, column and head with ball screws and spindle motor.
with cut short wires to the 4 motors.
I have got the 3 axes running under mach 3 and a xylotex board but I am stuck with the spindle power supply - any ideas?
Hope I dont get flamed for posting here, but would welcom info exchange
