Hello all,
I own a Hurco BMC30 from 1997. When attempting a tool change the operation stops when the drawbar releases the tool after the carousel has grabbed the tool. The machine then states SERVO FAULT SPINDLE READY.
The machine then needs to have its servos reset and manually back the carousel away from the spindle. The Hurco serviceman and myself have been over the machine thoroughly checking all limit switches and spindle orientation but to no avail. The machine can be run through each individual move of a tool change in the machine diagnostics screen and is rigid tapping and boring succesfully.
What i need to mention is this machine was stripped apart for transport before being reassembled in my facility. The wiring diagram has not been much help.
Does anybody out there understand the logic of this machine and what part of the machine is looking at the drawbar during release; and how it is tied into the tool change cycle? A bit run of a run on description but I hope you get the idea. Any suggestions welcome as i currently act as the tool changer and am tired of it.
Thankyou for your time,
scott kolb
