We have a LU15w with OSPE100L (sub is NC controlled) controls currently in the shop. This machine has been running production for awhile and has been running fine. I was sick for two days and when I came back all parameters were lost. We bought the machine with no backup disk and no one thought to make a backup for the user parameters. I have reset most of the user parameter back to where they were previously and have everything apparently working, however the sub spindle is giving me headaches.
It first started out that the sub would move away from the main but wouldn't move towards the main. I reset all the Stroke limits to the maximum to allow it to move. It still would only move in one direction. While poking around in the parameters I released the "Touch setter IL release" now I can move the sub in both directions, however, I can only move it a certain distance towards the main relative to the turret B Z axis. With the B turret moved all the way towards the main spindle I still have about 2' of travel to go till I reach the main. I was wondering if anyone knew of an interference parameter that I have missed. I found in the long word parameters ZB axis W axis interference, but that doesn't change a thing. Hartwig applications support is stumped at the moment. Im stumped. All while the big boss is wondering why the machine isn't in production. Thanks for any help in advance.
