We got a new computer and we're trying to load our OneCNC onto the new computer and having trouble at the installation dialog box. Where you input:

Tinker - can you post a pic of the relay that you are talking about?

We had a wrong H value - thanks. Everything is good again.

Just bought a bed mill with a cent V controller. We loaded a small program off a floppy and it begins to act on the code and then the z keeps going to the home position. We looked at the code and...

Thanks tlowe - where do I find this and what does it look like? We will get started with those checks.

Hi All,

I just purchased a used bed mill with a Centurion V control. When I first turned the machine on the control asked which set up we wanted. I pressed "1" for standard. Then the screen...

OK, I have an older lathe, probably '99 vintage. Can anyone help me with how to create a radius in the bottom of a groove. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. I have a .108" wide...

Oh...one serial and one parallel. Ok. I have been reading on the internet and see that 25 pin serial ports were standard for RS-232 in the olden days. I didn't know that. So now the question is...

maver1ck- where the door on my arrow shows "RS-232 and Printer" there are two 25 pin serial ports. Is one of those configured as an RS-232?

Superman - using the "traditional" tool path function in our CAM limits the Z movements. That was a huge savings in file size vs. the "open" or "closed" toolpaths which basically move back and forth...

I have a Cincinnati Arrow 500 with the A2100 control. By changing from closed loop to traditional I was able to get the file size down to a reasonable size and now I can fit it on a floppy and then...

Not sure about Australia but on this side of the pond this is an everyday occurrence - as in no big deal. Within a 10 mile radius of my shop there are at least 4 other shops that I know that are...

We have been getting into 3-D work lately and we have landed a fairly large surfacing job. Not particularly complex but there is not a flat surface on the part. It's a 12x12x2" aluminum plate that...

PM sent.

Wrench - you never completed this thread. Did the power supply fix your problem or not? If not, did you find some other solution or are you still having the issue? Thanks - Joe

Thanks for the heads up! I will check!

We were in the middle of a cycle today and the machine stopped and we got an alarm message, "AXIS DRIVE SIGNAL MISSING". We have gotten a similar message in the past on start up but if we cleared the...

supraman - that was it! Cylinder jam nut was loose. We had to make a wrench to fit it but everything is beautiful now! Thanks!
Mike - it is definitely air. Thanks!

OK thanks!

We have been running our new to us arrow 500 for several weeks but it seems like the tool changer slams compared to other machines I am used to. We have the air pressure at about 100 psi.

For the first time since we got our machine running we tried using the coolant pump. It started and ran fine but then we got a coolant pump over temp alarm. The pump sounded fine (like no bad...

We were able to get it loaded. Thanks!

Ok - we got the tools set and we were able to kind of make our way through a program in the RAP. How do we get a program from our CAM? We are getting a "invalid ID". Is there some special name or...

Can someone please explain to us how to go about setting our "z" offset and then how to set the tool offsets? I would really like to run a job on this thing tomorrow.

I do not have any documentation from our old parameter settings. We are located in LaGrange Oh 44050.

Yes, we installed a new hard drive and have gone through the M1Y files that we got from FIVES but maybe one of the values is wrong. Any suggestions?

I did not find any kind of a lube control with LED indicators.

We are in the process of getting our arrow 500 up and running and now we got a spindle lube alarm. Where is the lube? Is it the air/lube on the back of the machine? This is a '95 machine.

Hi Mike,

The machine was running - kinda. We could align the machine and the tool drum, run the spindle forward and reverse, put in MDI commands and stuff like that but we were not able to...

I recently input an option authorization code and recieved quite a few error messages and a prompt to "Switch to previous version", which I did. I rebooted it and now I can no longer align or jog...
