Gang,

I have recently purchased a 1997 MB20 with Centurion V Version 5.94 control and it seems that the current CNC simulator (version 264P) downloaded from Milltronics will not work with my older control. The programs will not run or verify at the machine, but okay on the simulator.

Does anyone has a version that would work with my control? Is this my problem? It's definitely nice to program offline sometimes

Thanks
Dave

Yes, if the version of offline software does not match the version of software on the machine (or atleast be close in versions) you will not be able to verify/run programs.

Dave,

If you by any chance get this, call Larry or Pat Byers down at K & M Industrial on the west side of town and see if they have it lying around. I got it off of them twice before, if I recall correctly... Where are you located/work for? I might be able to help. My shop is on Mandigo just south of Center street in Portage.

313,

I emailed and call Steve at K&M and he didn't think he still had a copy and it would be a fair bit of digging to find it. Even tried Emailing Miltronics with no response. Will try going through Pat or Larry to see if they can help. Been busy with the design side of things and haven't chase this issue.

Thanks

I'm a lone wolf - oneman shop

I'm over here on South Shaver Rd. next to Kalamazoo Chuck Mfg. in the old Command Electronics building. Just before you get to 131 intersection. Are you in a blue-ish building just off Portage Rd on Mandigo?

Again Thanks
Dave

Yeah, it was my grandpas old shop and now I'm in it. What kind of work do you do? Have a lot of equipment? I was in that 'chuck shop' several times discussing grinding but have since bought a rotary grinder with a 30" dia. table~

My next purchase is going to be an Omax waterjet but it probably won't be here until mid summer I think...

I'm a one man show too, well, kinda anyhow... My dad has a company in the same building and until next month there is a third rolling around in here too... I'm usually the only one here though~

I think it's ridiculous that Milltronics doesn't have there old software lying around somewhere. I'm mean seriously, what could it possibly hurt to email a copy to someone who bought a used machine?! If you have anymore trouble email me at "carl@miabc.us" and I'll try to help...

PS

I got the mill software off of them, ooops, not the lathe software... Otherwise, I could give it to ya... Go figure~

Here is 5.76 simulator it should work with your 5.94
you will need to unzip to a floppy and then from your command prompt
go to the A: then type install a: c: and it will extract the software.

I eat my words, my sincere apologies, I was under the impression you talked to them and they said no...
