Hello

The company where I work has a Economos IP3200 "Sealjet" Lathe with a Sinumerik 810T controller, this machine is now refusing to complete any programme and stops on any G01 command in either X or Z plane, on the PLC screen can see the set values and the actual values of zero. Replaced the G01 command with G00 (took the material out) and it ran through until the next G01 command, tried changing the set values of G01 and still stopped at the G01 command. The problem definatly seams to be with the carrying out of G01.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Many Thanks

Mike

Missing feedrate command, perhaps? The dryrun switch?

Feedrate is there for G01, tried changing it, no affect. Not in dryrun either.

You in inches per minute, or inches per revolution?

Thank you. Going to look at that made me think about it again, tried to run it again and noticed that the plc was reporting S=0 when I could see the chuck spinning (can't believe that I hadn't noticed that before). Found the belt to the sensor wasn't fitted correctly, refitted it and it works again.

Siemens Automation and Drives in Manchester has free technical support.They have improved it recently in that the receptionist takes details of your problem and finds someone who knows something to call you back.Unfortunately this might be the next day but is better than the old system of putting you through to the help desk and getting someone who knew less than you about the problem.
