Basically each time you activate a signal, you need to also set a timer, so if the required input signal doesn't happen within the timer, things fault out (use a DoOemButton(xxxx) where xxxx is the...

Something with enough inputs and outputs!
I used the small Click PLC range from Automation Direct for my turret, but had to buy an additional Input/output module to get enough inputs. They also do a...

Yes, you could use each contact for individual tools, however if you have the diode block as shown in the Mirac 1996 wiring diagrams, it would half the number of required inputs.

Closed loop steppers are one possible option, and are a pretty good compromise between the existing standard (open loop) stepper motors, and a proper servo system.

If you go to the Denford forums (www.denfordata.com/bb), you can download the TOE80 manual in the Mirac section (it's also in the Cyclone section).
It gives all the details for inputs/outputs and...

Hellfire: I also own a Denford Mirac, but mine does not have the ATC. :blue:

Does your Mirac use the newer control board or the older LCB3?
Mine uses the LCB3, and I am using a Ethernet...

I've just had a look at the Mirac lathe specs and realised potentially what turret it comes with.
If it is a Barafuldi TOE80, then you will not be able to control the turret directly via a Mach 3...

Are the present moment only Kflop, and pokeys can thread inside Mach and for Pokeys it's mach4. Both are a work in progress, a long work IMHO.
Planet CNC can thread but it would be hard to do...

Support for turn is quite limited from most motion controllers, as it is a fairly small part of the market, so you really need to check on specifics for anything you're considering.

Looking at the original ad, my first impression is that it is cleverly worded.

There is no mention that ballscrews are fitted. But then again no mention that the machine uses the original...

Not that I've found, certainly not from any of the established companies.

Mazak smallest Quick Turn has a 5.5Kw/7.5hp spindle with 32mm through spindle.
Haas OL-1 is still 5.5Kw, but with only a...

You'll be lucky!

I've searched for something similar, and have yet to find anything.
The biggest problem is even the smaller commonly available stuff, still use spindle servos in the double...

A friend of mine has a Boxford 240 with an atc he's going to part with soon. 35mm spindle bore, 8 station atc, slant bed.
