A long time ago I suggested they make a small machine where the table is a 6" Kurt-type vise. Make it rigid it and would be a useful size.
That's my feeling, it's aimed at high end prosumers, shops with limited ceiling heights & no 3-phase, people moving up from smaller/older Tormachs and office-mill type places -- institutions, R&D...
FWIW, I had two 1100 ATC boards pop from the incoming voltage from the power company-- nominally 220-230 swinging too high. Put a buck-boost on to drop it some and it's been solid since.
What use is the RPM of the motor if the belt drive isn't 1:1 (I'm pretty sure it isn't) and it's on a VFD for speed control anyway?
The 15L motor is a long belt-drive to the spindle & encoder. 3-phase, driven off an internal VFD. It does not have a brake, so doesn't do indexing and would seem like a poor fit for an 1100 4th.
Have you left one 'stuck' for an hour or so? Its possible its decided to do a filesystem check or something of the sort that takes a while to complete.
It's going to be a regular PC of some sort in there. Might be unbranded but its usually pretty easy to remove the outer case and find the CMOS battery once you get the PC out. The "legacy...
You could make a new limit-switch-hitting-block that's taller and bolts in the same place which would be completely reversible. The machine wants to hit the limit on Z Ref.
The soft-limits could...
Try FS-wizard and see what it suggests and dial it back from there. Check the RPM and HP numbers to see if your machine can do them. https://zero-divide.net/fswizard

I think there's a hotkey to get a linux prompt from the splash screen. Maybe try that and look at the log files. I had the CMOS battery die a few months ago and it was kind of annoying to get going...
What happens when you try to open a file share from Windows using the IP address of the controller?
Tormach PC or a home-brew? The Tormachs have been set up to expose network shares easily in my experience.
All else fails in Windows you can put the IP address of PP in the file manager like so...
The bubbler is important for things like coolant as otherwise the water takes forever to evaporate once an oil layer forms on top.
I put a bucket of old coolant out in the Texas sun with a fishtank bubbler running through it and in a couple weeks all that's left is some thick sludge for the trash can.
I think there are some magic hotkeys that will get you a Linux prompt at boot time... might be possible to catch one of the frozen systems and see what's going on and/or investigate the log files. ...
The one in my garage was used for several years in production making Tormach ATC parts with a bar puller and air collet closer. As long as you don't ask too much of it, it does very well.
A long time ago I was a beta tester for Pathpilot, through my friend Bob (RIP) who developed the ATC.
I'm speculating here from a multi-decade career in software, much of it machine-control &...
IME they say that, but will still re-register old versions on new PCs of yours if you ask. Maybe we ask nicely, and I've not tried trying to transfer a seat to someone else, just moved between PCs..
I use both the latest BC and Fusion. Fusion already bent over the regular users by moving all the 4th stuff to 'extensions'. Don't think that won't continue to happen. I prefer the CAD side of...
There's a link to it on one of my posts in this thread. IDK if OP ever tried it though.
Not that I remember. I think you get what's in the installer and modify from there or ask somebody to give you theirs.
You need to be logged in to the BCC support site to see the links for things below V26.
They do (even though it's not free to keep things on AWS)--: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bobcaddownloads/BobCAD+V23+(Build+1812)+Update.exe
Note that the BCC web site says they don't support V23...
It would be nice to have a 'teach tool' option available at run time sometimes, wouldn't it? Similar thing for broken / replaced tools as well.
Hmm. I see Blue Temper Spring Steel there but 0.015" is the only thickness so that may not work anyway.
I'd be really tempted to send that off to SendCutSend or somewhere like that to have them laser cut, but if you mill, you'll probably want to sandwich it between two pieces for the hold-down.
If you're using inserted tools as shown, what's most important is the ANSI or ISO code for the insert. That encodes a basic shape (eg: triangle, diamond, round, more-diamond, etc) and a size and...
On mine there was no obvious way to remove the shank, which made replacement and/or regrinding a bit tricky.
I've had the pump get gummed up so it won't start a few times, but it's not been random on then off then on again.
Yeah, it changes things quite a bit, but they are very useful. I had to redo how I did tool lengths when I went to a BT30 machine and that took a while to set in.
If your tools are already set...
