The short answer to your problem would be to compare the Keep Relays and D parameters from 2 of the machines.

We have a CL-20 w/Fanuc 21T control. I was looking through our ladder and found there...

Did you try looking for the orientation signal in the ladder diagram? If you can find that, there's probably a keep relay or data parameter you could change to trick the machine into thinking it...

We have 2 of them. SH-400 & SH-403.

They've been solid machines. Most of our problems with them have been ATC or magazine related. The bearings in the setup station turntable have gone bad a few...

Setting 553 = 6 means you're using a baud rate of 300. Most people use at least 1200, which would mean 553 = 8.

If your baud rate and stop bits are set correctly, and you're still not getting...

More than likely, you don't have a problem. Usually the mills from this era showed the commanded speed on the display instead of actual speed.


I can't remember if rigid tapping was available on...

I can probably scan the G & M code pages from our TW-20 w/16TT manuals and send them to you. Let me know if you still need them.

Mikey,

I highly doubt you have a servo controlled parts catcher. It's probably either pneumatic or hydraulic, in which case, there should be a throttle valve you can adjust.

Johnny,

If you want to know the value of the machine, call a used equipment dealer and ask. Try Perfection Machinery or one of the millions of others.

I'll assume you already solved this problem, but, if you didn't....

The Fanuc manuals claim that the units for Grid Shift (1850), and Backlash (1851) are in microns. Over the 20+ years I've been...

Hi Anthony,

I recently replaced the belleville washers on the drawbar on an FA450III. Now, the ATC gets a servo alarm when trying to remove the tool from the spindle. I believe this is caused by...

Check the level of oil in the unclamp cylinder. You may need to bleed the unclamp system.

I'm assuming this is a motor driven ATC and not the hydraulic type???

Have you checked the alignment of...

dango,

Are you saying that the difference in drawbar height (when clamped) only changes .5mm when there is no tool in the spindle? The spindle drawing in the parts list should show the amount of...

I'm not familiar with this machine, but there are usually acceleration and deceleration parameters that can be adjusted.

If your spindle load meter is pegging during spindle stop, don't touch the...

Backing the knurled screws out on the air fittings will increase the speed for the pot up/down action.

Your problem might be in the air solenoid, rather than the air cylinder. Does your lubricator...

underthetire,

I thought the hydraulic tool changers had been phased out by the time the MX-2 was on machines, maybe not.

Also, emexcee had mentioned changing the over-ride start interlock...

One other thing...Will the machine execute ANY command in MDI after changing the start-interlock bit?

Try "G4X30.;"

It's just a dwell, so it won't try to move anything. If it won't execute that...

Without having a copy of the ladder diagram and direct access to the machine, it is pretty hard to diagnose what's holding you up. Most likely, underthetire is correct, in that your...

Does it look like the arm is at it's home position? If not, you should be able to pull the cap off the arm motor and rotate it a little by hand. There's a dead spot on the older Mori's where the arm...

The best thing to do would be installing buck boost transformers to get your voltage down to 220.

If the voltage in your place is steady at 240, you should be fine to run as is. You're still...

You might be able to access the LX-1 manuals online. They'll give you access to the control side alarm listing and the parameters

What control does this have?

Are you checking to ground?

What switch are you talking about? Is it a no fuse breaker?

Have you checked that the phase is correct?

Do the hydraulics come...

From my experience, bi-directional turret indexing has been a PMC (machine side) parameter, not an NC (Fanuc) parameter.

It's probably a keep relay setting.

What kind of machine is this?

Let me look around here and see what I can find out. If there are not pots on the drive, it's either going to be a machine parameter or a drive parameter.

A number off of the spindle drive would...

ebay?

I'm assuming you don't want to buy a replacement directly from Fanuc?

In the US, I'd recommend http://www.fanucworld.com/

The spindle definitely shouldn't be hunting like that during orientation. It should be completely still. You probably need to adjust the speed loop gain. Clockwise adjustment should increase...

I'm assuming this is a Beta drive??

Found a gem of a web page here....GE Fanuc manuals in PDF.

Here's the beta drive manual http://application.gefanuc.com/infolink/manuals/65245en.pdf

Are you calling the T code in the same block with the M6?

The way I adjust the orientation is;
Command M19 in MDI
Remove the cap on the ATC motor
Release the brake
Spin the motor clockwise...

Like I replied in the other MV-JR post, look in your maintenance manual or call your local Mori distributor or Mori Tech. The procedure for this is pretty simple. They'll fax it to you.

Is the feed hold blinking all the time? Blinking feed hold on Excel / Kiwa machine usually means there's a problem with the tool registry (tool numbers used more than once).

It's possible that...

There's a pretty simple procedure in the maintenance manual for operating the ATC manually. It's been too many years since I've done it to remember.

Call your local distributor or the Mori Tech...
