[Green Button]

Machine: Mori MT2000 -2003

Problem:lower turret does not index.
Here's MR Moris instruction:


MT2000 Lower Turret Zero return procedure
Initial Procedure
1) Check that turret is in unclamped condition (if not enter adjustment mode and
unclamp) (See steps 2, 3 and 5 of Master Reset Procedure)
2) Press “Turret Rotation” and “Plus” buttons together once – the turret will move 1 turn
of the motor
3) Press “Turret Rotation” and “Plus” buttons together again until station 1 is at correct
position – when this happens turret will automatically clamp (if clamped then position
is set ok)
4) Turn off power and back on
Master Reset Procedure (only use if above does not work)
1) Remove ALL live tools from turret disc
2) Put machine in adjustment mode (Feedhold button and Edit key)
3) Set PC parameter D149.5 to 1 (Turret adjustment mode) and D149.6 to 1 (Live Tool
adjustment mode)
4) Check diagnostic X11.1 = 1 (gearshift is turret side) if NOT press “Turret Rotation”
and “Turret Plus” button (“Turret Minus” button – Milling side) (Y11.3 =Turret side /
Y11.4=Milling side) (see note below)
5) Turret unclamp is by turret “Plus” button, Turret clamp is by turret “Minus” button
6) Press “Reset” button
7) In manual mode press “SPJ” spindle jog button to rotate the turret
8) Make the turret rotate more than 1 revolution and then stop it so that the dimple is 10
to 20mm away from the station 1 marker arrow. See below
10-20mm
FAQ SV02-022-04-004 2/2
9) Press spindle normal rotation button and the turret will index to station 1
10) If the mark and the dimple do not line up press “Reset” and then “SPJ” button to
rotate and then follow step 8 again.
11) If marks are inline set the two PC parameters D149.5 and D149.6 to 0 – TURRET OK
12) If the marks are not inline set D149.5 and D149.6 to 0 and press “Turret rotate” and
“Turret Plus” buttons to step turret to station1
13) Turret will clamp automatically.
14) Power off control and back on to clear adjustment mode
15) Press turret index and turret plus button to index turret one station at a time and
check operation.
16) If motor is removed or correct position is not achieved change D1518 to set orientation
zero position. (THIS IS NOT NORMALLY REQUIRED FOR ANY OTHER TIME)


Everytime when leaving mark about 10-20mm and after that pressing spindle rotation marks are not inline. I have tried several times but no luck.
Somehow it seems to be about one tooth off from correct position.
D1518 info is in binary mode. But i dont understand because there is sensor for Turret station 1..it should find it. What i'm doing wrong or do i have to start to change D1518

Do'nt feel bad we have a brand new NTX1000 we have the same kind of
everything has to be in the right place and locked trouble.
Without Esprit we would be screwed.Still takes two days to setup a simple part.
It is a pretty cool machine once it is running.

Just turn on the turret adjust parameter, unclamp using the +/- button, hand wheel the turret to station 1 and get it to clamp with the same +/- button and toggle 1815.4 in the parameters. The procedure you have works if you've done it 10 times before.

Old thread, still relevant. Has anyone had a shift issue where when the turret is clamped the shift from turret indexing to live tooling doesn't happen smoothly or not at all? I think I need to make a shift in where the turret clamps so the gears align correctly in the shift mechanism. The clamp location is pinned I believe so i'm not sure what needs to be adjusted.
