Appreciated!

Any insight on the different memory chips or where to find .BIN files for my friends machine?
-Sean

Thank you for the info above. After shutting down the main power, is it ok leaving the memory batteries connected to keep the parameters alive while playing with the eproms?
Thanks again!

Bump? Really hoping for some guidance here... :)

Hello All,

I have a new to me 1991 Nakamura TMC-15 which is currently in working order. I am interested in making copies of the old EPROMS in the control so I can have spares if needed in the...

Thanks for the info! Are all of those manuals available from Fives or are PDF's available somewhere?

As for the power, I plan to use Wye. I have a 45 KVA 240D to 208Y transformer. It has...

In case it helps someone else...the problem was indeed that the phase rotation was reversed. All better now.
Cheers!
-Sean

Ok, here is the info requested...
Serial 7042-AOB-98-1898
Model ERO
Control Diagrams 91203577

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. :)

One more thing...Since it was just hooked up to power, does the 3 phase order cause any obvious problems? IE, will the control and servo amps run happily with whatever phase direction, but the...

Hello All,
I'm looking to buy a 1990ish TMC-15 with an 0TC control. Machine has been unpowered for a year or two, when it was moved to a different shop. Machine now for sale and the shop housing...

Surprised about needing a new spindle but you would know. :)

I should be able to visit the machine (3 hours away) tomorrow to get that info. Will the locations be obvious or do I need to hunt...

Hello All,
As the title says, I am getting an Arrow 500 and have a lifetime supply of BT40 holders which I would like to continue using. If it's as easy as changing the fingers and adjusting a...

Working on getting those numbers. That said, an electrician today confirmed that they are running on 240 Delta. I can probably get 220 Wye out of a phase converter and transformer. I am assuming...

...Also, Maver1ck, do you have the ability to email me a quick sketched print of the brackets so I can make some in advance of picking up the machine?
Thanks either way!
-Sean

Thank you all for the excellent information. I am out of luck on the transformer; the PO said that they were running the machine on 480, the machine has a plate on the control cabinet that says...

I was planning to block the Z axis, is there an easy way to lock X and Y or is that needed? Move will be close to 200 miles.
Thanks!
-Sean

What a great idea. I probably wouldn't have thought to pull the drive before loading it onto a trailer. Thanks!

Hello All,

I am purchasing a 1999 Arrow 500 with Vickers drives and the A2100 control. Since I've read enough forum posts to be scared of losing some vital parameters, I'd like to back up what I...

Awesome! It worked!

The parameter change forced a change in the Settings menu and I didn't think to look there. Now I have 64 tool offsets and my inch machine is back again!

Thank you! You...

I was adjusting the parameters to make it so I had more than 32 tool offsets, and when I went to adjust Param 000 bit2, I adjusted bit5 (counted from the wrong end...) This made the machine which...
