I have used Bobcad and had a couple of rounds with the tech's and return policy. I went with an upgrade to the V22 and it would not open their older versions, like V21. Also they are using Predator...

**disclaimer**
If you exported those files from BobCAD as .cnc files, chances are they have been encoded with a BobCAD proprietary format. Predator will open them, but they will look like garbage...

The One,
I have upgraded from v21 to v22 and have problems with predator opening the older v17-v21 *cnc files that have been already been done and that the baud rate has been down graded. The demo...

Give this a whirl.

Good morning, If all three, I would check the power and heat build up in the cabnet. I had another machine (not Fadal) that the amp cards were over heating due to fan failure.
Back to the point,...

If you are running cutter comp and doing a lot of small steps, the machine will stutter after about 30 ipm feed rate.

Check the ratio setup for the B axis. Different rotatry tables have different pully ratios.

+2, you can use G2/G3 for CRC. on the HS88

I have a true 4-axis SMW table on my Cen 4 machine. Ben is right, look for the amp card. The company that did the amps are still around and can repair the cards if need be. They told me that if I had...

How long do they intend to support the machines?

Check the card dip switch settings. There should be some very small switches that will allow you to change the com ports around. This is all on the card itself. Also check your bios settings, you...

What system are you running? If XP, then you need to restart the system and it should find it. If not then reinstall the software. I have a 4 extra serial to USB hub and the hypertermial shows up to...

No, just use com5 or com6. What ever one you have the cable connected to.

Don't feel bad. They DO NOT support the Cen IV or partner 7 any more. I know because I have one. I will say the machine has been bullet proof but we do R&D and short production run stuff so no 24/7...

I can answer part of it, NO, if you have an older machine. We are S.O.L.

I played hell at first to. It's slow, like 1200baud, 7data bits, E parity, 2 stop bits, and NO Xon/Xoff. You have to enter G55 on the control before transfer. G55(from pc - control) G54 (from control...

Type in CD,10 at the command line for the fadal HS-88. That will put you at 38.4K. I have a -4 system and thats the limit. You might be able to go faster with the -5, but I don't know.

I'm glad some can get help. Milltronics are a great buy for the money BUT they only support their machines for about 10yrs. I have a Partner 7 w Cen 4 controller and I'm SOL for parts and support....

I gave around $750-800 for a package deal, I needed everything, in Dec. AMD 64 X2 4600+ w/ 2gmb of ram. I remember when you could build a killer system for the same money as a bundled one, but that...

Because I had to get another computer anyway and the difference in money is not alot.

BobCad runs just fine on a 64-bit system. No problems, I'm doing it.
