Boxford TCL 125

[John11668]

Hi folks
Both axes jog fine when attached to my PC and Drivers, using my current mill profile and jogging X and Y so looks pretty much like the driver PCB in the machine is shot.
I will set up a lathe profile on Mach 3 just to check that I can operate that!

I will then go back to suppliers and see what they suggest with regard to their misleading description and the work I have put into getting to this point. I think I will insist on a replacement board at least , even if I do not use it.

I don't think it means it shot, it might just need the Boxford software to work.? I don't think all of them will operate from the front panel without the Software but i could be wrong.!

Also you do realise it's X and Z axis on a lathe, you won't find a Y-axis in the Mach Lathe profile.

I did realise that Jazz but just using the mill outputs for X and Y to drive x and z motors

Engineer believes that the panel should permit manual jogging provided the manual button is selected on. This is also required for the spindle motions to work.
You may be correct but they told me that the machine was in full working order which of course I cant test , but neither could they. I can only presume that their engineer knows his machines. Used to work for Boxford they tell me .

Does anyone have one of these working on Boxford software who could confirm or otherwise ?
