Re: New App! The Centroid CNC PC Tuner is now available in beta.

I tried this on three machines (with OAK boards) and it worked flawlessly except for the pop-up window for creating a restore point.

The "Create a Restore Point Now" link in that window points to a "System Restore" and NOT create a restore point.

Re: Erratic servo behavior on Yaskawa Sigma I with OAK - 410 position error

You could compare your parameter settings to the "Factory Settings" as in the attached User's Manual. There really aren't that many for the early Sigma drives.

Re: CNC12 V4.22 for Oak/Allin1DC/MPU11 has been released. Free Software Update for anyone using v4.16+

Just for feedback, I installed this update on three OAK machines today (1 mill and 2 lathes) going from 4.20 to 4.22 and everything went smoothly. I didn't get time to run any of them through their paces (been running the Haas all day), but all three seemed to function properly.

Re: MPG moving too fast error and DROs do not zero

Thank you for the replies. Actually, last night I tried hitting the E-Stop, releasing it and listening to the servos. After releasing the E-Stop, I could set both the DROs to zero. After a slow jog of the motors, and in a quiet shop, both motors made a lot more noise than I originally thought they d...

MPG moving too fast error and DROs do not zero

After an embarrassing long hiatus, I'm back to finishing up my OAK retrofit of a ROMI/Bridgeport EZPath S, toolroom lathe. The lathe has Yaskawa Sigma 2 drives set to precision mode and were tuned and set-up as in TB295. The lathe operates well except for two problems: 1. I get frequent "MPG mo...

Centroid CNC PLCAdd1616 I/O expansion board - AllIn1DC or Oak

Selling my unused Centroid PLCAdd1616 I/O expansion board. I bought this for a lathe project and did not need.

This card adds an additional 16 optically isolated inputs and 16 relay outputs to either an AllIn1DC or Oak.

Looking for $390 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 states.

Thanks,

Jim

Re: 1997 Bridgeport Romi CNC flat bed lathe Easy Path S

I put an Oak in a similar machine a few years ago. Mine also has the Yaskawa drives and I used an OAK board and pre-made drive cables from Centroid for simplicity. I can't help you with the contactor (I believe I rewired the spindle per the OAK drawings), but the spindle drive works fine with the OA...

Re: Bug/Format problem with MDI screen in v4.18 lathe

Attached is a current report. The problem is very repeatable...if P408 is set to 0 or 1, the MDI command line runs into the active G codes...if P408 is set to 2, the MDI command line is offset to the left. It doesn't do this on the knee mill...only the lathes. It appears the Active G Code Display pa...
