    If the overspeed light is "always on", I wouldn't expect the machine to even try to start the spindle alignment because if the control sees any drive faulted it should immediately remove power. You...

    Depending on which machine you have, outputs were typically protected by fuse or opto isolator. I believe yours is the latter but your prints will indicate what you have and where to look.

    If you...

    I don't use that version of motionlink because it is prone to adding garbage messages in the history, but the Err12-Overcurrent should never occur and indicates a short in the motor, wiring or drive.

    Your most recent failure sounds like the RT battery failed so the board needs to be reflashed.

    I wouldn't expect the axis issue from your diagnostics failure because your machine can not run if...

    I haven't listened to your video, but 2 common things to check.

    Re: Arrow 500 power cuts out

    It looks pretty clear in the video that the issue is being caused by the Z-axis drive losing Control Volts (and drive ready at virtually the same time).

    This means the Z-axis drive is losing the...

    I'm on the road so can't really get you any actual dimensions right now. Attached is the drawimg that shows the brackets (items 8 and 10) for the table and spindle.
  9. Re: Assistance needed backing up BIOS and parameters before machine move.

    I still have the factory brackets for when I'm involved in relocating these machines. There was a bracket that bolted the Y axis to the base and a cradle that bolted to the table to support the...
  10. Re: ACRAMATIC 2100 SIEMENS - CONVENTIONAL SERVO DIAGNOSTIC FAILED

    If the battery is changed on the RT board, you would normally have several diagnostic failures during startup. The fact that you only have 1 (Conv Servo), it is possible the DV5 issue you found is...
  11. Re: Problem with VFS5 driver parameters arrow 1000

    As I mentioned, the variables will vary based on what your machine options are (i.e. spindle speed, HP, etc.) so won't post values here because they would most likely not match your machine.

    Any...

    Do you still have the original drive? I would read the parameters from that if possible and transfer those to the new one since that would be the best way to ensure they are correct.

    Re: workstation

    This really doesn't sound very complicated.
    You had the WS Board tested (and purchased a 2nd board), so the WS Board has been eliminated as a possibility.
    You don't have the separate video...

    What Greg suggested was a lot more than just checking the contactor. Perhaps you should reread his suggestions and look into the rest of it.

    I've never known of a file to reset the passwords. Simply go to a higher level password and you can reset all passwords lower than the one you are on.

    I did have one case where the passwords were...

    Re: Arrow 500 power issues

    As you figured out, the spindle motor regen is wired from the PSR to the regen above the electrical cabinet. What you didn't mention is there is an overload that can trip out and needs to be manually...

    Re: Arrow 500 power issues

    It sound like you still have multiple issues to address.

    The PSR is very possible as the cause for tripping your breaker. I don't see any chance the CNC side of things would have anything to do...

    First, you said machine power trips breaker, now it doesn't? Or is this only intermittent? Are all 3 legs present and balanced?If it trips, you are drawing too much current so need to figure out...
  22. Re: Cincinnati Milacron Arrow 1000 Acramatic 2100 Control Startup Problems

    I have written up detailed responses about the "fuse" alarm in the past so won't revisit it here, but start by checking the output from your PSU2 power supply. It should be 24V, if it is low you may...

  24. Re: Cincinnati Milacron Arrow 1000 Acramatic 2100 Control Startup Problems

    Looks like Greg posted while I was typing this, so will scale back my response a little bit.

    If you changed your BIOS battery, yes, you most likely lost the BIOS configuration and will need to set...
  25. Re: Arrow 750 - 4th axis cable unplugged - Where does it go?

    The only "communication" between the drive and motor is the power output from the drive to make the motor run (and I suppose the feedback from the motor to the drive/CNC).
