I noticed that the two pin connector on the real time to the bridge board wasn't on straight; so I pushed it on all the way and restarted and now I'm seeing this upon boot on the external...

So I swapped in my new 300W PSU and my repaired LVDS card, but am still having problems.When I power up the mill and press the green button on the operator station I get a brief flash or colour...

It turns out my PSU went south causing the whole problem. So I'm waiting on a 300 Watt AT power supply this morning and 4 new capacitors to replace those that fried on my LVDS board

My machine is from 2000 so it already has a LCD. However there is no VGA connection for the monitor or "traditional" video card on the control. The keypad, touchscreen and monitor are all connected...

So my LVDS board in the A2100 touch screen flat panel fried on my Arrow 750. Leaving the display very dark and the machine gets stuck in a diagnostic loop with missing touchscreen / keypad. Now can I...

We have a 2000 Cincinnati Arrow 750 and are in need of getting the spindle rebuilt. I had a spindle rebuilt by Setco 18 months ago and is is dying after 15 months of use and no crashes (single shift...

Hi guys, i just picked up a used Ganesh CY-25 and am trying to figure out what to run for coolant. The lathe doesn't use a guide bushing so I don't need the lubrication of the straight oil - but it...

Your tool file is corrupt - it happened to me. Go to the Surfcam directory in Program files and copy the SurfcamLibrary.fdb and then go to C:\Users\Public\SURFCAM\SURFCAM6\Config and paste over the...

I have an opportunity to pick up a 8" Yuasa indexer to use on my arrow 750 W/A2100 and prewired for a 4th. If I change the servo motor from the original Fanuc to a Kollmorgan and sort out the plugs...

I ran flash for a while but was finding that I could only get 4 months out of a card, so I went back to a HD. I think I'll look into a solid state HD instead.

I just bought a used Daewoo Lynx 210 with T21i-a controller. The machine was originally spec'd with Manual Guide but for some reason when I powered it up it was absent - the parameters are correct,...

From my experience with an umbrella style TC - if you are going to be machining lots of aluminum then get the side mount. Aluminum chips are light and always manage to fly up into my umbrella style...

I have this problem as well on Velocity 5.1. Running Win7 x64 on Dell T5400, w/Nvidia Quadro 1700.

You can use the Arc Filter in the operation manager - but I don't trust it. The new V5.1 has new tool path engines for Z finish and there is an integrated Arcfilter. Although I haven't used them...

Are your tools loaded into the TC the correct way - dimple in.

I found on another print there is a connection for Bar E-stop - so it looks good.

Thanks
JP

From my print it looks like there are three 24 volt connections - Bar Alarm, Bar OK, and End of Bar.

My Akebono lathe is prewired for a Sameca single bar feeder - can I use any single bar feeder ie LNS, Spego etc or does it need to be a SMW/Sameca?

Thanks
JP

I have an Arrow 750 w/A2100 controller that is prewired for a 4 axis can I add any rotary table or do I need one with a Kollmorgan motor?

Thanks

I just got an email from UPS with the tracking # for V5 SP1. Should see it on Friday the 16th.

I just mounted a toggle switch on the sheet metal. The door lock is a PITA

I've been going back and forth with some of the developers at surfware over the last week sorting out another issue and it was relieved to me that true multi threading is not yet enabled and that...

Thanks that worked - I have the machine specific manual with the PLC ladder and was able to sort it out.

The machine in question is a 1989 Akebono ANCL-35 gang lathe - the same machine as a Hardinge Conquest GT of the same vintage.

I have a OT-C controller and would like to know how to get the control to use the limit switches on the chuck actuator to verify chuck open/closed. I'm assuming there is a parameter that I can change...

All of the "new" 3 axis toolpaths - steep/shallow, 3D offset, pencil and rest are all multi thread toolpaths. On my computer if I generate any one of these I never see a CPU load higher than 25% (4...

Surfcam by it's nature is stuck as a 32 bit app. Windows 7 is supposed to have a better XP 32 emulator compared to Vista. What is happening is that certain threads are only occurring singularly...

Well it doesn't work fine under Vista 64 - it doesn't multi thread properly. Vista creates a bottle neck.

Is anyone out there running Velocity 4 on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine yet? I am unimpressed with V4 performance under Vista 64 particularly with the multi-threading toolpaths. It won't load up the CPU...
