Hi all,
I have a Fryer ET-30BB Lathe with a Siemens control (with Shopturn 7.50.18.00). The control parameters seem to be like the ones from Siemens 810, since I have the following parameters:
36100 POS_LIMIT_MINUS
36110 POS_LIMIT_PLUS
36120 POS_LIMIT_MINUS2
36130 POS_LIMIT_PLUS2
36100 is set to -16.1 inches and 36110 is set to 0.01 inch, which are the software limit switches for X-axis.
I am trying to set software limit switches for Z-axis, but 36120 does not seem to activate. I've tried doing zero return as well as restarting the machine to see if they would activate.
Edit: Z-axis negative end of travel is unnecessary as different mandrels will give different limits. Cheers.
