I just bought a used (1995) 3 Axis Acer Ultima Mill with Centroid M-10 Controls about 3 weeks ago. So far I have only done a few test cuts with it, but as of yesterday I went to do my first production run on the machine, and right away ran into many problems. When I first power on the machine it asks you to put it in the home position, so I press cycle start and everything from there is fine. As soon as I load a file and hit cycle start to start the cut it craps out one me with 1 of the following messages:
X Axis Runaway: Check Motor Wiring
Y Axis Runaway: Check Motor Wiring
Z Axis Runaway: Check Motor Wiring
X Axis Position Error Stall: Job Cancelled
Y Axis Position Error Stall: Job Cancelled
Z Axis Position Error Stall: Job Cancelled
X Axis Full Power Without Motion Stall: Job Cancelled
Y Axis Full Power Without Motion Stall: Job Cancelled
Z Axis Full Power Without Motion Stall: Job Cancelled
I put a help call in with Centroids Tech Support yesterday, but they have not called me back yet, and its killing me to have this machine done. Just wondering if there is anything I can do in the mean time to possibly troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks for your time,
Jim
