need help does anybody no the code for the parts catcher pls on a hitachi Seiki ht thanks

[fordav11]

can't help with the code but if you spend 5 minutes and type each M code from M10 to M99 one at a time in MDI then press start for each one while watching the parts catcher for movement you will have your answer..... might be quicker than waiting for a reply. not a lot of tech info on the net about Hitachi G/M codes for Seicos controls.

[spudnic123]

Thanks I will give it a go

[spudnic123]

I now have error 501 spindle motor abnormal any ideas on how to fix

[shas595]

Hello,

what was the last code you input. Sounds like you did the M code for C-Axis engage. And by the way, what Seicos do you have, II or III? and what machine? I can tell you the info you need, I have all the books.

try M73 catcher in , M74 catcher out , not 100% sure this correct but worth a try

[spudnic123]

I have fixed the error it was because it changed into low gear range and didn't engage properly so I have now put it into high gear and its all fine now. I have seicos 2 and still wanting m code for parts catcher if you have it please

[spudnic123]

It's a hitachi Seiki ht23 or might be ht20 I will check tomorrow

[spudnic123]

Thanks john I've tried m73 and m74 but no luck

[shas595]

Hello,

the codes are M63 and M64

John

[spudnic123]

Thanks john it worked i don't suppose you know the code for the swarf conveyor

[shas595]

It depends on the control. Almost all of my Seiki lathes have chip conveyors, but none are controllable via M-Code. Take a look at the conveyor box, if it has one cable going to the machine then it (more than likely) cant be controlled via M code, as its probably just the power cable. If it has two, then the extra is for the control side and can be programmed to an M code, or might be programmed already. Let me know the control if you have two cables and I will look it up in the wiring diagram.

There are cases where there is one cable and the Motor-Starter is inside the control cabinet, but I have only seen that done as a owner-upgrade.

It has got 6 wires going in and a earth wire






These were in the control box I hope they help

[shas595]

They dont look to be connected to the control. You have the 3 power going in, and the three power going out to the motor. To interface to the control there would need to be a third cable to differentiate between manual / auto mode and to connect the relays for the M code to the Motor starter in the conveyor. I will look into it more, but it looks like a manual conveyor to me.

While you're here and helping, if it's not too much trouble can you post a complete list of M codes for a Hitachi Seiki HT? There's almost no info on the net and I'm sure it will help someone in future :-)

[spudnic123]

And g codes please

[shas595]

Guys (and girls!),

I will post the M and G codes soon. If I dont just message me so I remember.

Any chance that those codes were posted? I have a hitachi seiki ht20 with seicos controls, right now I am having an alarm code with the parts catcher any chance that someone can help?

[spudnic123]

Mine was m63 parts catcher up and m64 parts catcher down what alarm does it say?
