    Citizen E32 Opposed Tool Post overtravel

    We bought a used Citizen E32 (1986 machine) and are in the process of getting it set up. We are able to 'home' all the axes except the opposed toolpost (Y axis). When we move the tool post away from the turret we get an overtravel limit alarm at about the halfway point. There are 4 limit switches on the back but the 'actuators' are no where near tripping any of the switches. If anybody can help or offer suggestion it will be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

    Your local Citizen dealer should be able and willing to help with this over the phone. NJ office is 201-818-0100
    Good Luck.

    Press & Hold CB/CAN button while jogging Y axis. Or while powering up machine press & hold CB/CAN button, this over-rides all soft overtravel alarms on 300 & 500 series Mitsubishi controls.
