Search Results for 'arc euro'

[STK2008Participant @stk2008]

Well just emailed them to ask some thing but was then told it wont be delivered now for two weeks as there waiting for the stands to come in…I Was told it was all in and I asked for an idea of delivery time was told 5-7 days but its now changed to two weeks.

Did I make a mistake going to Warco I did research there company and it was all positive so was I just unlucky or should I cancil order and get it from toolco,arc euro etc etc?.

Please advise

Thank you

To correct my last it was the May issue of Sky and Telescope I got on Tues. I got the April issue of Scientific American last week.

John,
Both of those are American magazines. Unlike post from Europe and the UK, US post is sorted in Vancouver (actually Richmond) BC in a massive new sorting facility that went live in 2014. Other International post goes through Montreal or Toronto.

Everyone else,
I still firmly believe that the problem is Canada Post for the following reasons:

1. It is not only MytimeMedia publications that are not being received, I last received Engineering in Miniature published by Warners Group on the 3rd January.
2. During January and February I have had 9 items sent to me from different places in Europe and the UK. Six of these items have not arrived. One of the three items that did actually arrive took over 2 months for delivery AFTER ARRIVING IN CANADA.
3. Other than Hopper from Australia, so far the only people complaining about not receiving their magazines are Canadians.
4. Hopper's problem was different, he had very poor service in relation to his subscription from MytimeMedia, but it is not the same problem the rest of us on this thread are experiencing which is the non-arrival of regular subscription issues.
5. Unless we have subscribers from elsewhere complaining, we can probably assume then that the problem is only being experienced by Canadians which would indicate that the problem is Canada Post.

I have filed two complaints with Canada Post. The first on Feb 26, Two days later I received a voice message from a Canada Post employee asking me to call back. Which I did, leaving a message every day for two weeks, but the employee never returned my calls.
I subsequently discovered when filing my second complaint on March 14 that the first complaint had been closed as resolved 2 days after I filed it. Now three weeks later I am still not receiving my international mail, still missing 15 magazine (including the 4 replacement MEs that MytimeMedia sent out) and still missing six other important items of mail.

My chief concern is that if the problem is Canada Post, which I am convinced it is, magazine publishers are going to put a stop to Canadian subscriptions due to the cost and inconvenience of continually having to send out replacement issues.

John,

I am convinced that the problem is with Canada Post. The last MEW I received was #263 on Feb 2nd. ME I received issue #4575 on Jan 19 and Engineering in Miniature from a different publisher was last received on January 3rd.

Of the nine non-magazine items mailed to me from Europe and the UK during January and February, all from different senders, only three items have arrived, two of which were sent registered priority mail.

One of the registered priority items was posted in Israel on the Jan 15th, tracking information shows that it was handed over to Canada Post in Canada on Jan 18th and it eventually arrived in my post box on March 21st over two months after arriving in Canada.

On the other hand mail from the US does eventually get here, however it is far slower than it was a few years ago, it now often takes 2 to 3 weeks. I believe that Dave Taylor is correct in that US originated mail comes in via a different sorting office to that from Europe and the UK.

This level of service is completely unacceptable yet we can't seem to do anything about it. Complaints to Canada post are literally shrugged off with "we will investigate" but nothing is actually done.

[not done it yetParticipant @notdoneityet]

If it is cheaper delivered from Europe, there may be a bit of a saving on low value items, unless the extra duties exceed 20%.

I believe some EC countries are already applying 22.5% VAT? Small value imported items under about £20 are currently VAT and duty free. Could all change, and any above the threshold may get a parcelforce collection charge, too.

Wait and see seems the best thing to do. Speculating will not help a great deal.

Parts are available from ArcEuroTrade. The shaft is showing, out of stock. All seems to be working well now so I think regular squirting of oil is what is required.

Mick

I doubt this is the exact part, Arc have never sold the BV20 to my knowledge. It is possible that the SC2/3/4 parts won't fit.

This is going to depend a bit on the actual driver you have, so I had a look on the Arc Euro site but they don't seem to list any.

With some drivers, there will be a connection for a 5 volt supply, used for the internal logic, and a higher voltage (maybe 12 to 24V) used for the actual motor. The centre tap of the motor windings would connect to the positive side of the higher voltage supply (either on the driver or direct to the supply) and the ends of the windings would connect to the A+, A-, B+ and B- connections on the driver. There is no separate negative connection to the motor. The 5 Volt supply would just connect to two terminals on the driver. Some drivers will not need the 5 Volt supply as they have an internal regulator to provide that.

One approach might be to look on ebay ad see if you can find the same items, they usually have a bit of connection data with them. Otherwise you could try an PM to Ketan Swali on this site, he may have access to datasheets if this is something they have sold.

Hi, hoping a wizard on this forum can help with connections from and to a stepper motor. I am confused as to which connections to make to a stepper motor to drive an indexing head. The motor and motor driver were bought as a pair from Arc Euro. The stepper motor has 8 wires and has to be wired as a unipolar 4 phase configuration. This part I understand and I have identified the 4 phase wires and connected the 4 center tap wires. These wires then become the power connections. This is a problem.

The motor driver is a common type that I see on many youtube videos. The pulse and dir. connections are made from the printer port of a Windows XP computer. The 4 phase wires A+ A- and B+ B- are clearly identified and the power supply is 18volt dc. connections are easily identified. The centre tap on the motor is supplied with 5volts+ from an old computer dc supply, which seems to me I am mixing 2 dc sources, also where do I connect the -5volt dc wire there is no ground on the driver? Hate to make the 5volt connection and fry the motor or driver.

Appreciate any help. Dave.

Is there any way to upgrade this by using a separate board with a USB interface connected to the motor driver?

[Mick Cheeseman 1Participant @mickcheeseman1]

Thanks for all the replies. Arceurotrade do in fact list the parts. The bush is in stock but the shaft is not.

I think I'll try the PlusGas route before ripping into it it with something that may cause damage.

I suspect you are right when you say the bush has been allowed to run dry. Won't let it happen again once I've sorted it.

[John RuddParticipant @johnrudd16576]

If its similar to the Sieg machine, then Arceurotrade may have parts?

They have exploded views of the parts on their website….

[Thor 🇳🇴Participant @thor]

Hi Ian,

Congratulations with your milling machine and welcome to the forum. Tighten the bolts as adviced, I use ISO 68 slideway oil on the column and tableways. You can get slideway oil here.

ARC sell these Alex.

[John RuddParticipant @johnrudd16576]

Carl,

As the motor came from a Sieg mill, why not use the intended controller..? The XMT2315/230V.

Available from a Sieg dealer near you….Arceurotrade….

That way it minimises any setup issues with min/max speed settings and any overload/over current issues.

Hi Guys

I cant seem to find an email address for Arceurotrade

Only seem to be able to email them Via there own web site.

I had placed an order for a few bits and One item arrived damaged, (it had had water in the part at some time and arrived rusted)

I was hoping to send them a few photos of said item and to discuss the return and refund, only I cant find there email address,

I cant send photos via there website other wise I would have simply used that

Martin, are you snapping the collet into the nut correctly, if done right it will Pop out of the holder as the nut is undone.

Arc do the nuts

[Thor 🇳🇴Participant @thor]

Sorry Martin,

Should of course have given this link in my previous post. ER nuts need quite a lot of torque.

Thor

Edit: Found another torque table that also cover bearing nuts.

Arceurotrade do a range of digital calipers I have used the most of the range from 4" to the biggest which went into a UKAS test lab after being calibrated and was used on a regular basis. I have no links to them other than as a satisfied customer. They don't eat batteries even with the cheap ones in them.

[MuzzerParticipant @muzzer]

If you can use a milling machine, surely you should be capable of fitting a DRO and scales. The Arc DROs and glass scales look well priced. I wouldn't bother with those glorified digital micrometer scales – the proper DRO units have loads of useful functions.

Like many others here, I found that a DRO transformed my milling machine – improved my accuracy and reduced my scrappage rate immeasurably, so to speak.

I have a various assortment of cutting tools, insert tip, tangential tool from Eccentric Eng. HSS set from ArcEuro etc… ( usual disclaimer ) Left & right hand insert holders plus boring bars. I tend to use the tangential tool most of the time as it deal with all metals satisfactorily, except cast iron for which I have a couple of brazed carbide tip tools.

George.

I’m pretty much the same. I really like the Tangential tool I made but also use insert tooling from JB.

Thanks,Oldiron,

I saw that their heavy stuff was Russian made,so I suppose their lighter lathes are too.

Would they be any better or worse than "China made lathe of the day",that,s the question ?

Speck and price wise,they seem to compare well with both Chester and Warco. Spares might be another matter..

To Jimmy B,

Yes,the pricing is interesting,since it includes Vat and delivery to most places in Europe and to England,and surprise,surprise,even to Ireland. Dont recall any of the usual suppliers offering anything similar

Food for thought !

Me too. Ashamed to say I had one for ages before realising how to use it like this. So quick and easy – and accurate.

Type C is less than £4 from Arc.

Murray

Funny, I thought that the use was obvious – but I own one like Journeyman with the pointed centre and I have never managed to work out how to use the pointed part for centre finding……

 

Is this equally obvious to all bar me?
