Hi,
We have a Colchester Tornado 300 with a 12 Tool Duplomatic Turret, with Fanuc O-T B.
It was running fine until last week.
The turret continued past it's designated tool, clicking as if the pin hadn't fired enough and flagged a "Turret overheat, turret unclamped, turret solenoid, 401 servo alarm"
We managed to get it going by backing off the solenoid capscrews, so the solenoid was sticking out by a few millimeteres. This got us away enough to complete the job.
We took the solenoid out and dismantled it, noticed that the insluation was a bit wet/slimey.
We've since replaced the solenoid with a brand new one, but are getting "1019 turret solenoid" errors.
If we back the solenoid off the turret rotates and locks in.
Is this a problem with the locking pin sensor?
Need this sorted asap, got a lot of work for this machine and can't wait for an engineer to "fit me in" in a few weeks time..... HELP!
Yarpo.
