Cant rotate..not can...sorry

Hey hope I can help you. There is a turret set up mode you can go into on this machine. Requires you to change a K-word.

First you must have perameter write enabled turned on.
Then go to the...

Here are my thoughts on your turret. That machine usually doesnt need that prox switch adjusted. So when you did that, im assuming that it wasnt clamp fully. I would look at the turret index belt....

If you swing the door to the right of the headstock casting and then take the "chrome" cover off the front of the head. You should see a prox sensor mounted to a powder coated sheet metal cover. This...

Put the machine in jog mode and use the MPG/handwheel. Set it to the lowest inc. and jog that axis towards the spindle. Go about 2 inches... should rest that alarm. Then you will need to reset home...

Either the actual limiter is tripped and there is a write up in the manual of the machine. That or there are magnetic prox sensors/switches on the actual ballscrew. Check between the axis motor and...

Seems like the turret index belt is broken. There is a pipe plug on the turret body, take the cover/guards off the turret body and you'll see it. look inside there and check the belt.

Go on top of the machine and there should be a hex rod hanging out on top of the tool change motor. There also should be a lever out the "cap" of the motor. Move that lever to the other side (relases...

Hope this helps you put.

1.) Set parameter write enable to "on"
2.) Look at parameter 1250 for inch home positions of machine and keep that value in mind for later.
3.) Pick a axis

X-axis is...

I work for a company that has sold many of these machines. Once again I would like to make it clear that its my opinon! The Hardinge made cnc retrofitted knee mills are not reliable. The physical...

The way I align this machine is off the face of the turret for body to the z axis. To align the turret face you need a coax indiacator. Mount it in the spindle with a collet. Then sweep in a tool...

Tom is this a AC or a DC system. Easy to tell is.... DC is a circle motor and ac is a square motor. The only way the machine positions or knows its position is the scale. There is a tach in the motor...

Those machines have the Z-axis torque limiter and the tailstock breakaway switch tied into the same alarm.... but monitors both switches seperatly. If they are both working correctly, maybe a bad I/O...

Well that machine is built in Tiawan so I would assume some goofy metric size. That fitting is pressure relief for that union. In case something gets clogged in the spindle while using through...

Not warming up the spindles on the new Bridgeports is a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD IDEA!!!!!!! I only say this because I've changed many of these because people didnt do it. There is a reason...

Two different things to check the alginment of spindle to tool change height.

1.) M19 does spindle orient Does it line up with the arm correctly? Parameter 4077 is the value that controls this...

Ok this is all off memory so bare with me.

1.) you need to find out what the backlash actually. To do so, put a tenth indicator on the table and set it to the center of the quill of the machine....

Ok here is what you need to do. PLEASE BE CAREFUL to only hold these 2 buttons on power up. Other things (very bad ones) will hapen if done incorrectly!!!!

1.)Turn off control power.
2.)Hold the...

Steer I'll tell you everything I know about that system. I am a service tech that works for a company that serviced Hardinge for over 75 years.

On that machine there is no prox switches that tell...

Please please dont tell me you pry'ed on the machine to move the axis. That would put much "not needed" stress on the ballscrews!

On power up if the machine asks to Zero Return the axises you must...

Hello I worked on many of these through my time. Is the system AC or DC motors?

AC motors and you might be in trouble, DC motors can tune and keep it pretty easily.

Z-axis faults can be cause...

Hello Steve I will try not to miss anything you'll need to do hear.

Here's a checklist you can look over.....

___ 1.) Check the main motor (directly under the headstock). See if its a dual...

Hello I work for a company near Chicago that used to represent Hardinge for over 70 years untill they dropped us this year. I feel bad for all Hardinge customers b/c the new reps dont understand the...

Yes it is a compact flash card. It has a remote connector "hidden" by the only cover on the back of the pendent. Then i believe a ribbon cable goes from that to the mother board. Did you reload...

See the problem with these machines is that they were not very well designed. The castings are great but the electronics are weak. The big issue is that there really isnt a good set of alarms on this...

Bare with me b/c it has been some time since ive worked on one of these. If I recall right The ready light and the active light only are 1 color. The ready light should be on when the unit has power...

No they are the plugs that come out of the actual drives on the bottom left of the elec cab. follow the wires that come out of the drive. They go directly to that DC 150 unit. Dont worry about the...

Why did you change the DC 150 unit? For that reason? That alarm can be The white plugs on any of the 3 drives, ive seen one little wire come out of the molex plugs and give me that alarm. The other...

Yes transformer needs to be changed. Dont know the exact transformer you would need though, I can give you exact info next week, i have a diagram at my office. I am on the road doing service right...

2 things I can think of off hand.

1.) The 3 main disconnect fuses. I wanna say you have 15amps in there now? and you need to double that. (if not 15amp, just double the amount of what they are...
