Gentlemen (or ladies):
:drowning: After 6 months of hair pulling, swapped hydraulic pump supply phase, main board, and memory board, I managed to bring a Mori Seiki Sl-1H / (Yasnac 2000GII) back to life. Now I just need to understand how to set up the offsets/ machine origin/ PRZ. I feel like I entered into the land of OZ. . . move aside Dorothy.
Have you run a Mori-Seiki SL-1H (with CRT)??? I need someone to help step me through setting the machine zero. . . and the tool offsets. I've gone through 3 Yasnac 2000G/lx-1 books and after hours of fruitless play I have to throw in the towel. This machine is definitely not as simple as a HAAS or as easy as a Fanuc control to setup.
I've been turning on the machine with the tool post at the limit switch position, setting the x, y . At that point all values are at zero. With tool #1 (register T01) I turn the part press the PRC button, enter the -x diameter, press reset. . . then touch off the Z and set it to zero. Then when I turn the mode switch to to bring the turret back to zero It decides that zero position is somewhere near the center line of the machine.
Firstly, the machine X axis appears to be in the reverse direction. Secondly I understand it uses G50 for home position/ reference. The LX-1 book mentions that the tool offsets be set in T50 the other books dont. I notice that T00 and T50 are blank wherein the other registers have 0's where the x, y, r values are. I'm not understand it, so - Beyond that I'm feelin pretty green.
By the way, I've got all the drawings/ manuals if you need one!
Please help me out guys. Kind regards, :withstupi
