  1. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    The ATC alarm was just the carousel indexing switch on the side of the machine. It was turned to the counter-clockwise setting. When I moved it to the center neutral position the alarm went away and...

    He got the power supply repaired and we powered up the machine last night. I couldn't get the x-axis to home, but I found that another guy with a Mycenter 1 had the same problem and moving the...
  3. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    I had a technician look at the machine last week. His conclusion is that the power supply seems to be dead too. He took the power supply to see if he can fix it. Otherwise I will pick up a used on on...
  4. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    I get about 215v. I pulled the power supply and found two fuses on the board that has the LED display (5 amp and 2 amp) Both are good.

  6. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    Thank you.

    It would be a dream if it were just a fuse. I can't find any fuses in the power supply.
  7. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    Power is not even getting to the power supply. It stops at the contactor which is two steps upstream. Something is keeping the contactor from closing. Would failure of the power supply shut that down?
  8. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    The contactor is getting power, but it isn't passing through. The servo drives do not power on. There is an LED that warns that they are charged that lights up when I push the contactor in, but the...
  9. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    I was showing the machine to a friend today and I realized that I had been overlooking the flashing Index button that is next to the tool clamp and unclamp buttons. I went around to the side of the...
  10. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    I picked up a used contactor on ebay that is a perfect match, but it didn't fix the issue. I can't get this contactor to reset either. I do get full voltage on the output contacts when I depress the...
  11. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    I traced power to the contactor and it stopped there. The overload is stuck out. It won't reset even when I pulled it out of the machine. My electrician says the latch must be broken. I got about...
  12. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    I have checked connections and they all seem to be fine. I don't see any corrosion. I really don't think there is a fiber optic cable in this machine.

    This is the inside of the control. The lack...
  13. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    Seriously. The Fadals have never given me this much trouble.
  14. Re: Kitamura with Fanuc OM control - 400 408 414 424 434 servo alarms

    I talked to Fanuc support yesterday. Start by checking fuses. Then possible loose fiber optic cable. I will look into it next week.

    I lost half a day yesterday switching the job that was running...

    1998 Kitamura Mycenter1 with Fanuc O-M control

    I recently got this machine into commission after it sat for a year (stuck ATC and RS-232 communication issues) after moving it into my shop.

  16. Re: Fanuc 6m how to setup/config tools procedure ?

    I'm programming for 5 machines from one computer. I want to know what tool is in each slot of the carousel. It's easy to figure it out in Fadals UI. You can see the diameters of each tool in the tool...
  17. Re: Fanuc 6m how to setup/config tools procedure ?

    I'm looking for an easier way to set tool length offsets. Right now I jog to zero on the zero setter and memorize the number, then switch to the offset screen. I even have to type in a cancellation...
  18. Re: Fanuc 6m how to setup/config tools procedure ?

    This video demonstrates how much easier it is to set up a Fadal vs Fanuc controlled machines. Is there a similar process that I am missing? I haven't run a Fanuc mill in almost 20 years.

    Re: Conecting Fanuc-OM to PC

    That worked! Smooth transfer at 9600. Thank you so much! I thought I had already configured the COM port, but I think that was on another computer that I had connected a while ago.

    So is 9600 the...

    It seems that the machine was getting stuck mid tool change because the drawbar wasn't releasing quickly or completely enough, so when the piston pushed the arm down to swap tools, it was actually...

    I figured that out. I switched the machine zero display from metric to inches.

    I still can't send a program to the control. I can receive from the control to the PC just fine. The RS-232 tester...

    I'm still fighting this. One question regarding a tip on setting parameters on the control to x on/ x off. I read that parameter 391.6 should be set to 1. Is that 00000100 or 00100000? One source...
