Marchant Dice!!!!!! Kress Spindle NOT working!!!

[cropwell]

Anyone UK based owning and using a Marchant Dice machine running Mach3 on a Windows XP OS, parallel port PC?

I am not at all surprised you cannot get in touch with Marchant Dice - that name died of shame and they call themselves something else now.

Please open up your control box and post a photo or two. If there isn't a fuse in the relay circuit - I wouldn't be at all surprised. If there is, then it has probably blown, otherwise the relay on the BoB may have fused contacts.

I used to have a controller built from the expensive (but poor quality) kit supplied by MD, but it has been completely replaced.

Search on their address - Unit 6, Devon Units, Hatchmoor Ind Est, Torrington, EX38 7HP

And up pops Bionica Systems, appears to be all the same shit with a different name.

Them's the buggers. I have tried to forget MD and move on with my life. Anger only consumes the angry.

Many thanks for taking the time to respond to my reach for help. I will post photos of the insides of the controller. I hope to find a blown fuse. I suspect that would be too easy tho!!!! (Identifying fused circuits on the BoB relay may be interesting!!!)
Many thanks for the steer to Bionica. That looks like they there buggars!!

Hi Peter,

Sorry to hear all the problems you are going through, but I am on the same boat, I have a A1 Marchant Dice CNC router and full package bought from them on 2012, and up to today I haven't been able to used it, due to a problem with the reset botton that I found when I first plug it in, so now I am trying againg, and I have opend everything to see if there is anything blown, breaking fuse, by the way there are at least 3 fuse to check as you ask before, but I have install mach3 as they said, all light on the controll box are green, but I don't know the set up of mach 3, as what they send to me is not really working.

¿Could you or any other user send me your set up of mach3? by the way I have 4th axis, but I haven`t install the 4th axis yet.

King regards,
Braulio

But the most important thing, is to check the Max Amps that your step motor can take, so you don't buy extra ppower supply thinking that you need them when you really can take the maximun of your dirvers.

Hola Raul,
