Hi
I was using a Hitachi VA45 machining center in class. It threw a tool during a tool change operation and I hit the E-stop. When we brought the machine back up we attempted the manual procedeures to reset with no luck. I have been working with the lab tech to try and get it working, this is what we have found:
Tool change arm will rotate 180 and spindle unlock works with manual controls
Ladder diagram shows hard overtravel in all directions, if limit switches are pressed manually it will cause alarms
All Axis are locked
Ladder diagram is responding to buttons and switches, machine will not
No error codes on boards
Current Status: tool change arm is down and aligned with spindle/tool pot. Tool changer pot is locked.
