Hey Guys,
I'm sure I'm doing something stupid. I just got this Okuma Genos M560 and I'm not that familiar with the control.
The problem is I've been unsuccessful at getting the spindle to run. The machine is lightly used and has been sitting in storage for a year. I saw it running when I bought it just before putting it in storage. I just got the machine brought into my shop from storage a few weeks ago and have been playing around trying to figure out the control. I can jog all the axis, command G30P1 and it moves all axis to home, can turn blow air on/off, etc. , but when I command S500M3 I get no spindle movement and no alarms. The icon in the top left corner of screen flashes yellow as if the machine is doing something but the spindle don't rotate at all. Can't get it to spin up using the manual buttons or the spindle orientation.
If I put the machine into machine lock and do the S500M3 it shows the spindle turning CW (on screen) like it should.
I checked the ATC operation and it's at Seq 1. And I do have a tool loaded in the spindle.
OK, what am I doing wrong??
