I recently purchased an Arrow 500 and have been considering installing a 4th axis (or 5th if you count the spindle). All the wiring and connectors are present and in good shape. However, I have no idea if my installation of the s/w has this feature enabled. Anyone know where I look to see if my machine is licensed for the extra axis?

Hello
to check if the 4th axis option is enabled
press MORE
press SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
press PURCHASED OPTIONS
page down and look at option 20 - 1ST ADDITIONAL AXIS. If it is marked as PERMANENT then you can use the axis.

all Arrows were wired to accept a 4th axis so all connections should be present, however it is probable that you will need a Kollmorgen 6 amp drive. check in the panel and see if there is a 4th axis drive present. standard machines have a power supply, spindle drive and 3 axis drives (x,y,z). for 4th axis you would need another drive.
e-mail me at [email protected] if any more questions

Thanks! Looks like I'm good on the license, then. Now I get to start looking for an an affordable drive.
