Hi Folks,

I managed to get the machine working, thanks to the help from cncmm but now I have a serious issue. Today, I came in and started the machine, with very low pressure (4bar instead of 6.5). While referencing things went ok, but when I tried to load a tool, the tool changer just flopped to open position and the head tried to come down but there was no tool change. Instead the cycle went into error mode, which is obvious, given that there was too little line pressure.

Now, after switching on the air pressure, I tried to restart the machine, the tool changer is not zeroing and now the yellow button (on the left of button number 114) is blinking. No reset works. Does anyone know how to get out of this? My machine has a Siemens 810D controller and three software licenses: 1. toolbox, 2. FM-NC/840D/DE system, and 3. Shopmill

Thanks,
N

Aaah, should have waited a bit before shooting this one off. I've fixed the issue. cmcmm had sent me a trouble shooting manual in german, google helped me translate it and I followed the procedure to move the changer manually using the following process:

1. Jog mode
2. Area switchover
3. Softkey 7 deckel maho
4. Softkey 7 manual operation
5. Softkey 1 tool change
6. With the keys yellow or violet, the tool changer can be moved. If it doesn't move after poking these,
7. Ref the axis. And all should work.

This is what I did... and I've no more tool changer hangup.

Sure would be nice if we had that manual in English! !!

SCHAUBLIN 43 CNC Problem
Hi all,

Following is the problem with SCHAUBLIN 43 CNC

Automatic tool changer goes to pick up to tool from the spindle but arm fingers are not closing to clamp the tool so spindle dropping the tool before arm holding

Hydralic oil not draining out from the arm resulting in not closing of arm jaws

Anyone had the similar problem ?
