Hi all , I have just purchased an Okuma Howa horizontal machining centre with a fanuc 11m controller. It was mostly running ok when i got it . The only problem was the door for the pallet changer. So i was mucking around trying to test out the pallet changer and got it stuck half way thru a pallet change . Now it is telling me that the XY and Z axis are over traveled (hard) and i know they are not . I wasnt even moving these axis when i got these alarms. I think this is some kind of safety interlock but cant get any axis to move .

Any help would be much appreciated .
Thanks

Have you got your rapid over-ride knob turned to zero
some machines have different reference positions for each pallet and it wants to move to te incoming pallet's ref. pos.

Hi , thanks for the reply . Ill have a look but i dont think thats the prob . I stuffed it up by turning the machine off in the middle of the pallet change when i couldnt get the pallet down . I have since got the pallet to clamp (i think) but apparently if you turn these machines off in the middle of somrthing it screws them up big time.
Cheers
