    Ignore my last suggestion, you don't have an A:\RAM folder. In order to be using 5.320 software, your control has been upgraded to a single...

    Re: Partner 4 w/ centurion 4 losing servo drive

    It sounds like you have a problem with one of the axis drives.

    I agree with you, it certainly could be a over-heating issue. Make sure all the fans are running and are clean.

    Re: Tool change problem 1997 Milltronics VM-17.

    Yes, that is correct.

    You can see what the control is seeing and doing by looking at the input/output screens. This information can help you determine what is going on when you have a problem.

    Re: Tool change problem 1997 Milltronics VM-17.

    Allen is right, your carousel motor is likely out of position. The On Pocket input should be a 1 when the carousel is in the correct position, and yours is a 0.

    You can force the motor to run by...

    Re: Partner 1 error 408

    Try trading the X axis drive with the Y axis drive to see if the error changes to an X axis error
    If it does, you need to have the drive card repaired.
