You'll need to provide some additional information before anyone can help. Please refer to this post viewtopic.php?f=64&t=383 on how to create a current report on your machine setup and post some photos of the control setup.

One minor point from the latest video: 25.4 is an EXACT conversion between millimeters and inches. It is not an approximation.

End point and radius arc moves take the starting point from the machine's current position. If you want it to start at Z0, then you need to make a move PRIOR to the arc move to position the tool at Z0 and then call your arc move.

Can you post a report taken right after the error occurs? The report you posted has the program listed as "ncfiles\NO_JOB_LOADED.cnc" so I don't know whether to trust the offset information in the file either. I suspect you don't have enough Z travel to go that low.

The Acorn does not have any provisions for serial communication to devices. You can use bit signalling by turning Acorn outputs on/off and connecting those to GPIO pins on the Arduino and monitoring for state changes. Keith's response was because there is a good chance that an existing Acorn PLC pro...

The Centroid control can control the orient of the spindle electrically if it is running as a C axis with a regular servo drive connected. It cannot orient the spindle electrically if run as a regular spindle motor controlled with the spindle output. However, you can mechanically orient the spindle ...

What's your PLC code for SV_M94_M95_15?

I would suggest against a flood coolant system on a knee mill. It will make a mess. I suggest mist or MQL, (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) system. I second Marty's sentiments here and suggest you look at Fog Buster spray systems. I have them on two mill and two lathes and couldn't be happier with th...

Anything that acts like an inductor - contactor coils, transformers, fans; basically anything with a coil of wire in it.

AXIS connector housings are JST #PUDP-30V-S and the crimp terminals are JST #SPUD-001T-P0.5.
