I live in southwest Washington state and am looking for some one to regrind my CAT 40 spindle socket on my Milltronics Centurion IV milling machine. I'm hoping to find a mobile on-sight grinding...
I'm looking for a Universal Kwik Switch 300 Master toolholder with a CAT 40 v-flange shank.
thanks

I'm looking to buy a Matsuura MC-510V 1990 model. Yasnac MX3 control, BT35, 6000 RPM spindle. Any thoughts on the model and how much is it worth?? The machine is extremely clean, the control panel is...
I need some recommendations for a machinery mover/rigger to move a 9000lb Matsuura from Bellingham to the Southwest
Washington coast, Raymond WA. Thanks in advance,
Ben
I actually like the machine a great deal, with the exception of the custom tooling. 30 years ago, ACROLOC made a fairly capable CNC machining center that used a proprietary spindle socket and their...
It's a R8 taper that has been cutoff where the taper ends and a retention knob has been added instead of a ISO type internal thread. He's added a BT/CAT flange at the other end of the R8 taper. I...
Parameter # 18 for Centurion IV control, 0000 = 200 IPM
McMaster-Carr "D" size 3.6 volt, part # 6451k12.
If your batttery has died you will lose all machine parameters when you turn off power.
Any idea who sells quality Belleville washers cheap?
Started my QT8 lathe this morning, homed it went to start the spindle (manually) to warm in up and I have received Alarm 015 (2, 9476) System malfunction. Been around Mazaks for close to 20 years and...
I don't want to bad mouth CAMSOFT but the Centurion 6 can use a very generic CAD/CAM
as it's code is very close to Fanuc EIA. BobCAd comes to mind if you don't want to be so
spendy and I'm sure...
I have no idea how to clear a conversational program, but a G-code program is cleared
very easily. One of the GREEN buttons says "Clear Program". Push it and it will ask you
which program #. If it...
I've never used the conversational programming, actually never more than glanced at it.
I would be curious if you or someone else could write some G-Code and see it the machine
can execute it,...
The iron, ballscrews and a rebuilt head are worth more than 2K. A rebuilt head is worth that. I would buy it in a heart beat. I've owned a Centurion IV for over a decade and it's
been a very...
I have the original electro/mechanical manual. If you have a fax # I can take care of that for you or we can work out another method. I believe the oil pump is always on once the
servo's are...
I'm doing a CamSoft refit on my Brother TC-221 drilling/tapping center. It's been in process for over a year now and its learning curve is steep. The jury is still out on it. My advice is
leave your...
The servo dynamics 1525 drive(s) are the original. Let me know if you still need the wiring diagrams.
CAMSOFT has a post for the Centurion IV in their AS3000 CAD/CAM package. They are currently selling discounted software packages on EBAY for under $1000.00. I'm not crazy
about their CAD/CAM but...
I'm experiencing similar z-axis problems on a Brother Drill&Tapping center I'm refitting with
Camsoft and servo motors. My Z axis motor and amp are not faulting but Camsoft sees
enough error when...
FYI, there is currently a box of 5, DC 100A data cartridges on Ebay for $62.00 with free shipping.
The error codes on this control are pretty useless, they really don't tell you or pin point the error. I have a parameter list that I can email you and a parameter file you can load into the machine...
The Z-axis on my Brother Drilling/Tapping center has a brake that is separate from the z-axis servo motor. My Technician has setup the drives and motors
to energize by way of a physical switch. The...
MRMOON,
You don't need to spend any money other than the cost of the cable that connects your
computer to the RS-232 port. Any terminal program can upload/download programs via
the RS-232 port....
Number of encoder pulses = 1024 P/R (line driver output)
Tako gene output voltage = 1V/ 1000 rpm
As my tech searches for drives to interface with my existing Sanyo motors
on my Brother TC-221 machine tool that will be run by Camsoft Pro, it has
occurred to me that the spindle drive has to be...
I am having CamSoft installed on my Brother TC-221 Mill/Drill. The technician
I hired to do the job has hit a snag. He insisted on installing new amplifiers
on X,Y and Z and a new drive on the...
I am getting very close to applying power and tuning the servo amps to the motors.
I am using a 4 axis DSP based Motion controller card-CS18420 (not sure what
# it's listed by Galil) and my...
The Camsoft manual recommends using a UPS connected to the PC.
Is this necessary? I would appreciate any opinions, responses etc.
Thanks,

GRECO made a DNC link for the Centurion IV.
Try running a memory test. Hold down the #1 key while someone turns the machine on and
it will test the memory banks. I've had bad memory chips cause similar problems to what
you are describing,...
