They were supposed to bring one and didn't. So I installed it. (I know I am already telling them it wasn't my fault they forgot it so they need to take it back) All voltages look good, they will...

Admin: Can we please have a Johnford forum added to the list?

Hello,

I was getting the 103 X servo error too large alarm, I found a blown servo amp so we switched the X and A amp around to keep running. Well that didn't fix the problem. So the HFO tech...

It could also be a damaged or loose spindle encoder belt. That is a quick and easy thing to check and repair. If that is it you will also have to change PARA 257 for your spindle orientation.

Yes we are running FNC and it does not happen in DNC. Software version M1609B.

Sorry for the delayed response I have been swamped! Thank you for the reply.

We are using the data server. On the 18mc we get the file onto the control we can load it as O100,SV1.TAP and it will load the program as O0100. Sorry I am not a Fanuc expert.

We are transferring files through the data server. We can see the host folder with the files in it. All of our programs start with:
%
O**** (depending on the program number)

Thanks.

This control is new to us usually we run the 18MC. I am wondering how to assign a specific program number to a file we are pulling off a server. The control always seems to assign O0001 and we have...
