Re: Hardinge Conquest 42 parameters and diagnostic needed!!!
Hello all not sure if anyone on these last post are still active but looking thru discussion you may be able to help me with my problem. I am looking to purchase an older (1998) conquest T42 that has set so long that it lost all its parameters. If I can breath like into it I can pick it up for a really low price. I have reached out to Harding and he gave me some generic parameters since he did not have the exact one even when I gave him the serial number and it will still not come out of estop. I will list information form a post that I posted. if any one can send me there parameters and 9000 programs that have worked thru this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
I am reaching out since I am looking at getting a Older Harding for really cheap with a lot of tooling. The only problem Is it sat for 2 years and lost all the parameters and 9000 programs. I reached out to Harding and they do not have the serial number on file and have been some help. They gave me some parameters that at least got us one step closer but it is not recognizing the spindle drive. Not sure if the parameters they gave me and it has live tooling so the spindle needs to be identified as axis and spindle. I am guessing that is the problem and the odd thing there is no c axis selector on panel but looking at parts they have lying around they there drilling with the x axis. The guys that use to run it in shop moved away and it has sat since. The Alarm that we have now are as follows.
1008 spindle unit fault
409 servo alarm: (serial error)
If you guys that have any experience with older Harding lathes and could give me some guidance I would greatly apricate it. I Also have not loaded the 9000 programs that he gave me yet. Was trying to get it out of E-stop and teach home position before I did that. I also do not have anything hooked up to it yet to communicate. I may have to hand type soon as I find out how to start a new program on this control yet. I will list machine serial number and controller below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Hardinge Conquest 42 parameters and diagnostic needed!!!
Hello We have a Hardinge just like yours. We are having issues with the tool setter not being in home position and will not let us home the machine. We do not have the books to this machine and Hardinge has not been helpful at all. Would you happen to have the electrical diagrams to this machine? please let us know it would be extremely helpful. As to parameters if you are in search of parameters maybe we can help each other out Please let me know
