DOWNLOAD MAXNC 10 SOFTWARE

Thanks for the help! I'll be getting that one set up too, probably with Mach3. And yes, the modern input options for computers are a big part of why it's best to upgrade; it's a lot more convenient to be able to load programs off a thumb drive than have to burn a Zip disk if you remember those things. The maxnc is a new machine with the G controlling it. Mach3 won't run an old "wave drive" MaxNC; it's a step-direction program.

I'll try turboCNC out on the dinosaur laptop and might see about downgrading this XP desktop to 98 as a more permanent solution. The maxnc is a new machine with the G controlling it.

The power-saving features tend to interfere with the uninterrupted control of the parallel port that CNC milling requires.

Take care to make sure that the locknuts on the X and Y axis threaded rods are adjusted so that the bearings remain secure in their mounts. Follow us on All times are GMT The Thompson part number is XCT But really, the best route to getting a fairly reliable machine out of this would be to scrap the old MaxNC control box altogether, and install something else, like a Gecko G Results 1 to 8 of 8.

Maxnc 10 software

You can tell witch board you have by simply removing the cover form the controller box on the rear of the mill, look in the bottom left hand corner of the PCB. The maxnc electronics are garbage at best.

I'm pretty sure that those are correct and that naxnc is failing at some other level - probably at some configure option that I am not yet aware of. It sounded more like it was getting the wrong kind signal from the softward. If you want to use DOS for some reason try loading Windows 95 or 98 on an old desktop you can probably find one for free, or downgrade that XP Home computer ; it will probably work better.

Prabhat- My mill and board are preso I can't use the CL mode in mach3 or mach3 at all.

Search for these belts from various vendors: Mach3 won't run an old "wave drive" MaxNC; it's a step-direction program. I'll post back here with an update after I've tried some things out.

MAXNC 10 CL CNC?

The current RPM is maxnf on the screen, and will change once you do this. The time now is MaxNC movement or soft limits: That would seem to be the obvious route, if you have a machine that actually runs DOS.

There used to sofftware a board available that would convert the wave drive to step-direction; Peter Homann Homann Designs made it in Australia, and might still have some on the shelf. The easiest way to determine the true RPM of the spindle as compared to the motor's rpm readout is to use an inexpensive Laser "No Contact" hand held tachometer.

You can do this in the middle of a program then resume cutting.

TurboCNC should work too, though, if you get the ports and pins right. Since we have this little maxnc sitting around though I figured I might as well get it up and running if I could.

It's and OL from so it can't be run in CL like the ones from on. Get back to the Main menu, hit 3, and give it an S command- eg: Then you could run Mach3, or EMC, and not have to be constantly troubleshooting that cranky old controller or running up against the limitations of DOS all you'd have to fight would be the mechanical issues inherent in the MaxNC's design.

The thread should be treated with loc-tite to help secure the BSA nut. I went thru 3 controllers before I replaced it with a G I discovered the patterns for the phases and input them into the axis-config menus, but still no response.
