I bought a 1996 arrow 500 last year for $26,000. It has an 8000 rpm spindle. I just purchased a 2001 arrow 1250 for $43000 with 12000 rpm spindle. The newer version of the control software is much better after 2000, version 3.4 something.

 

if the machine in good condition I'd say it's good deal. I really like the acramatic 2100 control.

They say it only cut plastic, it looks in

good shape.Can it do 3-d.

If you're machining Aluminum that 6000 rpm spindle is gonna be holdin you back.

I don't own and have never operated a machine with the Acramatic 2100 control. But I'm curious what people who hate it don't like about it and people who love it, why?

[t smith]

Peter,

What do you hate about that control, and is it

able to do 3-d for mold work?

Thanks

8 arrow 2100 mills

1 falcon lathe

1996 thru 2003 models

Love the operator interface

Hate the stability of the electronics

 

If you are a big FANUC fan you wont like

the 2100

(ask James)

Drill cycles are strange

no D & H tool offsets

work offsets are a H ???? thats messed up

 

T smith

the 1995 machine should have the Kolmorgon

drives

stable, but slow in processing power (486)

as compared to the later digital machines

But sounds like a good deal for the money

but put $10,000.00 in your saving account

in case you need parts

this company has changed hands so many times in the past few years the dont know what they have

[t smith]

dougm,

Thanks for the info sounds like all I need to

know is it will be more trouble then I need.

Thanks Tom
