Thanks for the reply. I also purchased a name brand ATX p/s with the converter cable. Problem I found is that there is no output plug from the p/s to the op panel. How do I get the power to the op...

Update ... I found and downloaded the operators manual - Still dont know if the plotter would help or if dry run would be faster. Would rather not have anything move, just want to test the program...

Update.. I did the whole unplug , replug thing and it still has problems with corrupt characters in the program and loss of control function buttons when the spindle is running. So there is a detail...

Hi Guys,

So I just replaced the power supply (AT P/S) for the control on an Arrow 1000 , 2100 control . The machine is back running ok. I am getting some weird stuff now though. When I send a...

Thanks for the reply Bill,
I wanted to update the post as I have checked the fuses and found none bad. Is it possible that the thermistor on the comm board burned up without a fuse blown someplace...

Thanks for the reply Mike,

I hadn't looked at the prints yet when I found that fried current limiting thermistor. Frank told me that might be what it's called, I never heard of it. Anyhow, would...

I was looking around in the elec panel and found this (see poc) that looks fried. It is located on the bottom right corner of the comm board. Looks to be labeled TB4-41 below it and TH1 above it....

Ok, bad news for me. Replaced control power supply and still got nothing when I hit green button on control. Metered the a.c. in plug at the control ps. Got 158 volts. Should be 230. Is there a fuse...

Thanks. I got the power supply today and will install and let you guys know if that was the fix.

Hello All,

Thanks for reply. Mike, It seems that the control power supply is my guess too. There is no light or sign of life from it and my voltage to the mill is fine. Do you know anyone who may...

Hello Again,

I am going to start removing the control power supply. Is there any particular way to do this? I have had this all apart before , for a board repair, but I never had to get the...

Hi Guys,Thanks in advance for any replies. I have a 95 Cinci Arrow 1000 with an A2100 control. I have an issue that just started today. The mill shuts off completely. The whole thing, not just the...

It wouldn't be the regen if I get the alarm when not running the spindle right?

Update again,

I got the alarm back again less than five min after getting it running. I ran the spindle for a bit then stopped the spindle and started a setup. Alarm came when spindle was stopped...

Update : I unplugged the C1 plug (fan) on the psr4 and replugged it and now the machine fired up fine. ( I did the same on the VFS5 but it didnt help, couple hours later I tried this) Hopefully it...

Hello all,

I have a 39-83 alarm on a Arrow 1000 with an A2100 control. This machine had the VFS5 rebuilt 7 months ago and has been ok till now. I had this alarm a few times over the last month ,...

I dont know the procedure to check spindle drift. I did mdi the S0M3 as it asked. It looked to orient but the spindle did not lock in place (like M19 on fanuc). How do I check drift and adjust?

Hello everyone,

I have an Arrow 1000 with an A2100 . I have what has become a frequent spindle related problem. I have attached the various alarms I get. (intermittently, every other cycle start )...

Hello All,

I have an Arrow 1000 with an A2100 control. I have been using my zip drive to transfer programs for some time and it was working great. Yesterday I went to transfer a file as usual...

Thanks Maver1ck and Mike,

I ordered a new fan, it will not be here for a few days. I cant wait that long- so I removed the VFS5 and cleaned all the soot and gunk from the fan and the interior of...

Its been way to short a time for me to be back for help but I sure hope I can find some anyhow...

I have an arrow 1000 with 2100 control. This morning I started it up and hear a loud fan. Open the...

Maver1ck did the flash

OK, quick update. Finally back running again. What seems to have happened was a faulty floppy drive played hell with the Real time board and corrupted the board bios. So, send the board to get...

Thanks for the info. I looked on the Startech site and can only find a 230 watt AT power supply. Will 230 watt do the trick or no good?

thank you sir. So cloned HD today and will probably need the RT to get reflashed no matter what happens at this point, I think, because if it isnt faulty , it sure lost some function at some point....

OK, Thanks for the reply Coop. Do you know the specs on it ? I know its old style plug type but what wattage ? I like thermaltake in my pc's but doubt they make one.

thanks

Have you tried to reseat the boards?

Hi all,
