Thanks, Mike. I found this company, Magna, in Rochester NY. Now even though there is the boarder there, it's still close to me, and I was quite impressed with there guy Scott on the phone. Prompt and...

Thanks, need to keep that in mind. I also found a guy a lot closer to me at Magna Products Corp.

Magna Products Corp. the Servo Specialist | Rochester, NY

Spoke with a very knowledgeable guy...

Ok, this what I found off my smoked Power Supply:

Input: 230 VAC, 50 Amp/phase, 3 phase
Output: 310 VDC, 50 ADC

Model No. PSR 4/5-250-7500

If that helps????

At this time, I KNOW NOTHING about it. I know it's that as the repair guy came in and switched it out with another one (also not working right) and it solved my problems.

I have a '97 Arrow 500....

Guys, finally back on-line after a while as I couldn't get logged in. BUT I smoked the main LARGE BLACK power supply in my machine today. It's the large black box to the left of the spindle drive and...

Let me expand a bit for you. Here in North America (Canada), I've been CNC machining/programming as a Mold Maker since the early 80's. Most on Fadal's for VMC, but also Mazaks, Okuma's, mori Seki's....

Chucker, thanks for the reply. A few quick notes:
- M13 instead of M3 M8.

- First op 1/4 N.P.T. REAMER, seems pretty straight forward.
- Second op 3/4 45 DEG. CHAMFER, again I have a handle on...

Is there any "built In" programs for thread milling with this controller??? Or has anyone ever done any thread milling and lead me in the right direction? Looking at doing some M30 and up thread that...

Laka, it is a A2100 controller. Now just need to play with some programs:rainfro:

Guys thanks, so if I get this right, I would use the G41 or G42 to turn ON the CDC (Cutter Diameter Compensation) and use G40 to turn OFF the CDC.

I did get the manuals with the machine, and the...

Finally back on-line. I have a question for the cutter compensation. Here's the deal:

- Small, single man shop (ME). So I try not to get too far out of my comfort zone as to not have machine down...

Thanks, there is no training manual like your talking about. There IS a lic. and I got it and called in for the number to open up my system. So it work and runs on my computer.

Will know more...

OK, here is what I have "IN HAND":

First Cd case
1a. Cd - Bob-Cad V21 CD version 21.5.2 with Bobnest V3.0 and BobART Pro-X
b. Cd - Post processor Library
c. Version 21 "Getting Started...

Thanks, for the fast response guys. It has ALL the training and full 3D option. It was as much as Bobcad offered at the time. Will double check tommorrow. Thanks, John

I thought I would ask here first as I don't want to get anyone in trouble. I know of a shop that has a complete version 21 and is looking at selling it to me for 1DAYS work on the machine. So here's...

I have one of these and would like to change the control (Acromatic 2100) over the metric as most of my work now is in metric, therefore I would like the machine to be in metric.
Does anyone know...

Thanks, JOBS DONE and Deliveried. Wasn't brke parts, just little parts for industry, got a drawing, material and off we went.

Here is what I found, It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be:

-...

I just got in a rush job to mill and drill some parts in this material. Any suggestion before I start? The milling won't be to bad, but the drilling I'm worried about. Just using HSS drills, FLOOD...

Cool, thanks. I thought it was like that but just wanted that "second" thoughts on this matter. John:rainfro:

Can I save 2 versions of MasterCam v9 on the same system with one seat? I would like to keep the Metric and Imperial versions seperate. So IF I want to use the "Metric MasterCam" I would open that...

Good morning and Happy New Year Y'all. I have a few little questions about the Acromatic 2100 on my Cinci Arrow 500. They are:

1. How can I turn on to METRIC from Imperial? New customer is 90%...

I have a Cinci Arrow 500 with the Vickers Acromatic 2100 controller. I have never used this or seen this controller before I bought the machine. So I haven't strayed to far off the beaten path so to...

Now I just need to figure out the DNC for this machine so I can run big files????

Sorry if you got it twice? I'll go and look at it. I do all my own drawings here and other shops for years, so what I did is just pick the center point, create the arc, dia, 0,0, OK? So don't know...

Hamilton area here.

Cad-cam, I tried twice but it keeps bouncing the emails back saying there Undeliverable???:confused:

Files have been email to Cad-cam.
Toby, your correct about the Acromatic controller. What's a back plotter???:confused:

OK, sorry for the delay, but here it is:
Parameters are, .020" above part to start, Helical ramp down to -.513
When I choose "ramp", DEPTH clicked Ramp depth .050. That's it.
This is just part of...

I will post the file on Sunday. This is the first time in 10 years that this has happen to me where I thought something was "toggled on"? But I couldn't find anything???

I do a lot of machine with endmills to open up a hole from imperial to metric sizes since I do not have a lot of metric tools. I just recently got a new customer that is mostly metric. No problem, I...
