Hi,

I want to troubleshoot a CNC lathe (swiss type), equipped by FANUC O-TT for Lathe.

Machine : GILDEMEISTER - GLD20 - 5 axis

The actual status : NO ERRORS BUT ALWAYS "NOT READY" !!!

Menu selection : only JOG & HOMING

We have access to the ladder, but we cannot find the explanations between the ladder and machine component's, and for example what means R524.0 + R524.7 + X004.0

I hope find how to troubleshoot this machine, and CNCZONE is our last chance.

Ciao.

You need the specific ladder information for your machine from the original prints.
DMG MORI USA ? Machine Tools, CNC Milling Machines, Lathes and Turning Centers
Has the GILDEMEISTER line at this time.

Not Ready is probably a hardware issue, not generated by the ladder. Check the Estop string and drive conditions.

Hi Sir,

Thanks for your reply, I will check this with the link you gave me.

Could you be more precise about the Estop and drive conditions ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sir,

I have another question if you could help : The FANUC drivers of the servo motors are showing 2 dash "- -", and that means that they are not ready, but who is the first that must be ready : the machine, then the drivers becomes it, or the opposite : the drivers are not "READY", it's why the machine is not ready ?

Must I go to check why the machine is in "not ready" status or I have to check the drivers ?

Thanks again

The machine will turn on the drives when the conditions are right. It sounds like your main contractor is not being pulled in. The machine maybe on an end limit, or have a stuck limit switch, or have an Estop circuit problem.

Check all your fuses and overloads; with the main power OFF check for continuity.
