Prolight / Light Machine TMC 1000

[ghynes]

I wonder if anyone on the list with a PROLIGHT 1000 or Light Machines TMC1000 desktop mill is running the Windows WPLM 1000 software. I would appreciate an email from anyone running or with access to a copy of this older software.

Thanks

Hello,
I am not running these machines at home but i do use them at college.
I was wondering if someone could give me a copy of the software or tell me how to get a copy so i can continue my lessons at home?

Try this site:

http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/Manuals/CNC/

You can set the software to simulate mode, so you can try out your G-code at home and see how it works.

Thats just pdf manuals not the actual program.

Sorry - this is the program directory:

Thats just the service packs. But thats ok cuz i got the software already now.
Thanks.

This is my final try...

I've had a TMC-1000, for a few years, even posted here a couple of years ago, but no luck. If I don't figure it out this time, it's going in the trash, or wherever these things go when they become giant paperweights (on the sale list and/or E-Bay) Anyway, here we go:

1. It used to work, I used it at work almost every day.

2. One at a time, the axis drive motors quit working.

3. When in Manual Mode, I can get the Spindle Motor to rotate.

4. If I give it an axis motion, I can hear the hum change pitch. The contoller counts as if it is moving, yet nothing moves. If I hit the "space bar" on the screen, it sounds like a hard stop is being hit.

5. If I open the cover, the indicator tells me, so that seems to be working.

6. Yes, I pulled the "E" Stop.

Again, one last try...

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks,

Jerry
