Good Morning,

The 307 alarm means that the servo battery located on the Fanuc servo drive in the electrical cabinet needs to be replaced. If this change is carried out by a qualified electrician...

Hi UrbanQuohog,

As per my pm to you and my replies to kama, if you can please let me know your machine's serial number and a contact email address I can send you the appropriate procedures.

From what you have said, it is most likely to be the monitor that has expired.

PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL! The monitor is an open chassis and there are high voltages potentially present at the rear.
...

Can you PM me your email address please?

No, that is the CNC battery located behind the screen. Whilst it is good practise to replace this battery regularly, this will not solve the problem. As stated above the battery you need is fitted to...

No problem. You have an email...

You're pretty much right!

The 306 alarm means that the battery on the X-axis servo amplifier needs to be changed. Fanuc part number A98L-0031-0011#L.

Once the battery has been changed then the...

You sent me a PM, but I cannot reply because your PM box is full!

Answer:



Sounds like the diagnostic for the turret is not set. I think D500 should be set to 00001000.

Hi Ashley,

Not our field of expertise but it looks like the servo batteries have failed. Replace them according to the machine manual and then the axes will need to be referenced. If the...

First thing to check is the adjustment of the gib strips. It seems odd that you're getting the same problem on two machines though?

Hi Ashley,

I think you need to contact the manufacturer of the machine. Are you sure it's a lathe? That looks like a VMC?

Good Morning,

I think my colleagues advise remains sound. The 416 alarm means that the signal from the X-axis motor encoder or linear scale (if fitted) are faulty. I would have thought that it is...

That is correct. As you look at it from the front of the machine.

Hi HMC710
1. Yes, the drive belt does need to be loosened off before adjusting the head.
2. Cut and test to get the desired parallel tolerance for the amount of tool pressure you will be applying...

Kama,

For some reason I can't reply to your PMs. In order to send you the procedures can you PLEASE let me know your email address??

Kama,

I have already offered to help! As above:

Please PM me with the machine type, serial number and an email address and I will send them to you.

I tend to agree with kama. Try the following:


1. Remove the round Duplomatic cover on top of the Turret.
2. Remove the cover at the rear of the Turret.
3. Using an allen key in the end of the...

Please PM me with the machine type, serial number and an email address and I will send them to you.

Can you tell me the serial number of the lathe please?

Please be aware that there were three major variant of the Tornado 300. Using the parameters and diagnostics from a different type of machine could result in the machine being dangerous.

Please...

Hi Yarpo,

We are not familiar with this system but are intrigued! Maybe it was fitted after sale?

PM on it's way...

Ian

Good Morning BoKo,

I'm sorry but something is wrong here! The Tornado 200 has only one spindle.

The first machine with twin spindles was the Tornado 220MS which was fitted with a 21i control....

Excellent!

Is the headstock lube pump running in the right direction? If not reverse the phases.

Yes, that's the crash switch.

If it's set correctly a 4thou feeler gauge should NOT trip it but a 6thou guage should.

If you let me know the wiring diagram number from the plate I can send you...

cncatj has hit the nail on the head!

If the machine stays on when the button is pressed in then the problem is the crash switch as per previous messages.

The 600 Group are only able to supply the whole assembly. I would expect it to be one of the relays which has failed.

You will notice that only channels one and two are used. Channels three and...

The E-Stop module is A81 mounted on the magnetics panel A8.

I can't be 100% sure, but experience tells me it's most likely.

So it's a Mk I Tornado 200.

The most likely fault is a failed E-Stop module. Part number XT-0007 which you can obtain from Clausing's Spares Department.

Have you got the serial number please?

Hi,

If you can let me know the type of machine and your email address I can find some info to send do you.

Ian
