If you have the swing arm type then there are flow controls on the air cylinder that control the speed of the arm movement. Also at the end of the stroke there are shock absobers to control...

sounds like you don't have a drawing template (blank drawing) open.
Is the drawing area on your screen grey? If so then open a blank drawing or template.

Turns out it was a bad bridge board. Our service guy started swapping boards out with known working boards and this was the result.

Got our repair guru coming in tomorrow, looks like a real time board issue. We narrowed it down by unplugging everything from the realtime board and the error still persisted. Evidently our repair...

Thanks Maver1ck

Can you enlighten me on the proceedure of changing the battery. I don't want to lose any thiing. I know some controllers (old fanuc) you change out batteries only with the power...

Thanks Al

we did replace the hard drive with a known good clone, so I think we ruled out a corupted file, we are still digging into the connections between boards and racks as we have had problems...

On power up this is what we are getting (see below) and below the errors is what we have tried to fiix the issue or at least isolate it, any help would be appreciated.

Hey Moldcore good to see another long time user, I have been using Cadkey since ver 2 back in the dos days 90 or 91 I think. before that it was paper and pencil. So glad not to be there anymore :)

With the air off of the machine you should be able to move the tool changer by hand. Most likely you will not be able to move the full motion(due to the airt trapped in the cyl) but you should be...

Assuming 110vac normal convention would be
red is the hot leg
white is neutral
green is ground.

You should be able to set the 2100 control up on your shop computer network (ethernet)

In the Cinci's v groove set up there is the sleeve (that connects the two shafts) that is formed into the groove by a dowel pin pressed down from a set screw in a collar that goes around...

On the issue of keys, keys are used to transmit torque and also can be used to limit the torque by shearing off (think of a flywheel on any lawn mower). They do NOT work well when the rotation is...

As far as the x axis goes

Are we correct in the assumption that the thrust bearings are the culprit? yes most likely as they are not sealed and coolant / dirt gets into them. We have added...

Yes you can loose orientation of the spindle for tool change but if you mark a belt and the pulleys then you can put it back together in the correct orientation. We have done it this way before. The...

Have you removed the belts and run the motor to be sure it is the motor and not the spindle or the belts? Also we have had some strange belt noise that at first we thought was a bearing issue. If...

Do what Tick Tock said, board edge connectors getting dirty is a common problem on the 2100 control.

What we have done is replace the most used buttons that don't work with ones from the keyboard that are not used or seldom used. There is some stuff you can buy to replace the conductive coating on...

We had a similar problem years ago on a kmb1-bx machine and the culprit turned out to be the timing of the encoder to the motor was off a little.

The zero would shift in one...

open loop means its your z axis encoder or encoder cable has a problem.

Good deal Rich

I will have mine apart soon to try this as the only issue mine has is the track ball not touching the foam or just barely touching. Thanks

Rick

Could also be that the Prox switch is on the edge of its range and may just need to be adjusted in slightly. Don't know if you are familiar with the set up on your machine but there are three prox...

Hey Rich

My track ball is not the best also, the foam rubber wheels are bad. I don't know the answer to your problem but Buddy at AMTS will. Here is a link to his web site, he has a forum on it so...

The LM guides are a standard THK part but I can't find the number right now, I remember the rails are a non standard length. We used the...

Tx4 which is right below the big auto transformer is also fed by the incoming line power it will also have to have the taps changed to go from 480 to 230.

Once rewired I would go and check all...

On initial power up (first press of master start) are the button indicators (red lights next to buttons) all lighting up?

Servos should not come on until system boots up and you hit master start the second time. Check the video connection by taking the back off of the operator terminal. It is located at the bottom front...
