PM'd the code
I will look when I get to the shop tomorrow. I believe M19 is the spindle lock and has to be used with a linear move.
thank you for the information.
I just wanted feedback from someone that has went from SC to MC; at this point, I doubt the owner will pony up for a replacement after investing in SC unless there's some sort of buy out.
I was checking to see if you had a follow-up to this; we use surfcam and had some interest in switching to MC. I have a hard time walking away from the money we've spent on SC, but others in the shop...

maver1ck,
I went back and pulled the align switch off to give it a good cleaning and check; I did it in place before. It seems to be smooth; put it back on, made sure it was lined up with the dog,...
I checked the bearings, I get about .008" of movement; the movement is in the annular bearings. Coupling looks good, it's the vee groove type. Switches look aligned and those and the dogs are tight....
It’s just the tool probe, the part probe functions normally. The tool probe set tools correctly until after the z axis grid failure. All parameters on the tool probe page are the same as they always...
it does look like the fault appears slightly before the switch makes up
Ok, sorry for the lack of info.
No scale feedback, all motor
Z axis TPA switches on and off when looking at it in programware; when it tries to align, it hits the switch 3 times before getting...
We have an Arrow1000 with A2100 control and kollmorgan drives/ motors; at startup we have a z axis grid failure when trying to home the machine. All axes move after powered up; all register movement...
surfcam support said no to picking your start placement in both toolpaths, which sucks. Recommended a couple work arounds to help, but none of them that does exactly what we want and what it does to...
we have waveform and truemill options for 2 axis pocketing; is there a way to pick the spot in the pocket where I'd like it to plunge or helix in or are we stuck with what it generates?
just a followup; got through the job with standard code; all the fixed cycles I tried would alarm out as the spindle was not running. I got surfcam to produce the moves and changed the spindle code...
We have a hawk200 w/ A2100 control and have the PH Horn tools to internal broach, but not sure which way to program it. We are producing belt pulleys with a 35mm bore and key way for an 8x10 key. I...
Probably, but the other problem is during threading, evidently the c-axis wouldn’t pick up the same start? I haven’t tried threading, just went off of the previous owner’s info. We’re just going to...
I believe this just uses the resolver in the motor, nothing attached to the spindle itself.
we're on the same page! I looked them up today.
I got the ratio change to take in the parameters, but it throws the TPA/ home error on the C-axis now. I assume from the ratio change, it's...
yes, it is a problem. You are correct, if we can't change the parameter, and the tech we use says we can't, it looks like that's the plan. Its a 14MM HTD type belt with the round tooth. I just have...
Jim,
Yes, you're correct, the motor shop should be responsible, but that was before I purchased it. The previous owner found out after he bought it and tried to thread with it. I bought it with the...
We have a Hawk 200 lathe that had the spindle drive motor pulled and checked before we purchased it. Evidently the motor shop lost or broke the drive pulley and replaced it with a 44 tooth pulley...
Yes, you are correct and I do have both. I’ll just have to spend the time to dig through and get the info.
It does have the drive and correct motor on the units and will plug right in. It has the...
We have one of our Arrow1000s, 1998 A2100 control, that we're going to be installing a fourth axis rotary table in; does anyone have a sample program they would share so we can modify our post to...
Yes, we did find the solution with help. All of the table limit switches are daisy chained through the emergency stop relay. If any wire or switch is compromised, it alarms with this fault. We found...
we had a similar issue years ago on a Sabre 1500; when programming the probe movement, we had to program a Z move down in the bore to get away from the error you are getting. I don't know if this...
WS board back in and it runs, sort of. We have found that the main power to our building, just moved in recently, is overwhelmed by the draw at spindle start-up or large increases in speed; we...
Ok, just a follow-up to the resolution of our problem, in case it can help someone else.
Mike helped diagnose this and with the software, we found that the spindle drive had lost it's RAM...
Cable fine, pin look in place and good.
