Vectric Vcarve Pro 8.5 Prototrak Software Has Always
I have owned it for 10-12 years, using it for manure handling, as a yard crane, tree transplanting, and twice to lift a 50,000 litre water tank onto a tray truck.

Not true any more I tried it out on a limited basis and the new feature works well.ASPIRE 8.5 TO axyz 4008 via DNC question - Vectric Forum Well, AXYZ service. I use Sketchup extensively to design furniture and shop projects but converting between 3-D and the 2-D Vcarve Pro software has always been more trouble than it is worth. One huge deal for me is the inclusion of a Sketchup file importer.
No big deal really, except that I had not worked on a cylinder this large before. After watching some YouTube videos, I decided to have a go at replacing the seals myself. It had been leaking at the rate of one drop every 6 seconds for a long time, and increased to one drop per second recently.I had recently purchased a kit of new seals for the leaking cylinder. Enzed were on the job within a day, and an hour later the new large diameter hose and fittings were installed.The hydraulic oil level was well down, and topped up with 20 litres.I had been aware that one of the hydraulic cylinders had been leaking for many months, so not all of that 20 litre deficit was due to the burst hose. Well, actually it was the metal fitting which was crimped to the hose which split and allowed the hose to separate from the fitting, spilling quite a bit of hydraulic oil onto the ground.
The Stillson was about a meter long, and the nut would not budge, despite using all of my strength and weight. I had priced a new open ender spanner, but the cost was high so I used the Stillson. I did not enjoy using it because it bit into the nut and marred the smooth surface. The only spanner/wrench large enough was a Stillson wrench. I had been warned that the nut would be extremely tight, and that it would be easier to loosen the nut while still attached to the JCB. And the large heavy pins at each end have been removed.The large gland nut was loosened before I removed the end pins.
It was quite heavy.In the workshop I completed the removal of the large gland nut, discovered that the gland O ring and the main seal were in pieces.Then removed the piston and its rod from the cylinder by pulling carefully.The piston seals looked OK to my inexpert eye. At that moment I decided that any future resealing jobs on larger rams would be done professionally. I caught much of the hydraulic oil which spilled out in a bucket, not to be reused of course.I carried the ram into my workshop.
For that I used a heavy cable tie looped through the seal, to pull it into position. The big rubber seal on the outside of the piston was the hardest. Most of them went on without much difficulty. The gland and piston, and my hands were cleaned thoroughly, multiple times before and during the procedure. The new piston seals above, and the new gland seals inside and out, bottom.
The remainder of the piston seals were split, and positioned easily. They looked different.The seals went onto the piston fairly easily, with the assistance of a large cable tie, which was used to pull the large central rubber seal into its groove. Including that replacement seals might be different from the originals. It had some very useful information.
The manual specified 300 ft-lb, but my torque wrench does not measure such a large tension, so I just used all of my strength to tighten the nut, using the extension. The same setup for tightening. Then tightened with wrench and 1.5m extension.My very untidy workshop, undoing the piston nut.
Maybe there is a special tool or press to push the parts together?They helped me immediately. Threw the parts into the boot and drove to Enzed. Long holiday weekend imminent. 4pm on a Friday afternoon. Most of the pressure is held by the foreground vice.Then I attempted to insert the piston into the cylinder.
And the diameters seemed larger. The new ones were 0.3mm thicker than the old ones. The piston with its new seals just would not fit into the cylinder.So, he compared the old and the new seals. They mounted the cylinder in a chain- pipe vice, and pushed and strained, but no better result than I had.
Needing some dry, wind free days, 2. I have all the equipment and materials ready to go. They looked correct.But hang on, the cylinder is facing the wrong way! The paint scuff marks which were on the outside are now facing inside!So, left the ram as was, switched the hoses, and tried again.I am still waiting to pour bronze to make a 1:10 scale Ottoman bombard. Could I have put the hoses on back to front? No. They will continue to get my business.Operated the bucket control……no leaks, but no movement! Bummer! What now.Hmm. I said, “that seems too cheap”.
At 71, I dislike working on ladders, above my head. It took 3 x 2 ton loads, so far, and still more to go.Then in lockdown, we decided to fix a leaking balcony at home, and replace some rotting, ceiling boards under the leaks. Meanwhile, SWMBO has had me breaking up a concrete drive, manually loading the broken up concrete, and transporting it to the recycler. I need 2 successive days for making each mould and doing the pour.
Fortunately I was able to buy some boards to match the old ones. And the 8×2 beams are intact. The leaks have been fixed.
But I had to use the JCB backhoe to load the concrete onto the tipping trailer and I was aware that the JCB is looking really tired. Nothing really is grabbing my attention. I am glad that I did not wait another week or two.I have been considering my next modelling project. But even so, I had to put out some spot fires in the surrounding grass, which has already started to dry off. I have been waiting for some suitable weather to burn some rubbish, and it was not too windy a couple of days ago, so this was the first task… First weeks of spring, and with a fire permit obtained from the local authority, I had some fun with this. Even more fortunately, SWMBO does not trust my painting skills, so she will do the painting after I have fitted the corner mouldings.The lockdown restrictions eased a bit last weekend, permitting me to visit my workshop.
When the farm was sold, it was just about the only big machine which I retained, because even on 5 acres it is still used occasionally. As a general farm machine it was incredibly useful. I bought it third hand, more than a decade ago, and used it for general farm jobs, including manure handling, transplanting mature olive trees, as a yard crane, moving machinery, digging trenches.
The Perkins diesel starts easily and runs well.The back end is slightly loose, but not bad for its age. One of the rams has developed a leak, and will need resealing. 4 way bucket at the front, can lift 1.5 tons. My tractor at back was not getting any use so it is on permanent loan to a neighbour. Even with many cut roots, they transplant very successfully.
It has been welded/repaired more than once, but as you can see the left hand yoke is broken and non functional. It secures the boom during travelling. …like this heavy RSJ… I do not know what this plate is called. I made this grab attachment for picking up vegetation trash, heavy beams etc. The white roof is worst, so that is the first item for repainting. As you can see the paint work is ready for renewal, but there is no serious rust.
All of the controls function. It is called a “slew lock”).The interior of the cabin is not too bad. Some more laser cutting and mig welding required. So I am drawing up plans for fabricating one from 20mm steel plate.
