Sorry for not getting back sooner customer showed up with a lot of work needing it asap of course. I have noticed when I take it to the home position in Z axis then restart it tool changes fine. But when it comes up from the table to do a tool change thats when it does its little move and goes into emergency stop. Think maybe the prox switch on Z axis might be the problem haven't had time to get into it yet. But looking from up top looks like the prox switch has a groove rubbed into it. It will be next week before I have time to look. I want to say this is truly a great experience for me the way all of you pitch in to help. I really do appreciate all of the help.
Yes i believe that if that groove is big enough to change the position to witch it makes the hit it could throw it a lil wonky,,,,,could be why it will do a t.c from one position and not the other?
I to must thank everyone on this site for all the help! If it wasnt for us lil band of vqc'ers id be lost too! For instance yesterday my machine was delivered and wen i origianally turned it on i had
1)transformer over temp
2)Sum check error
3)hydrolic low pressure
4)e stop
5)tool change door proxy error
6)magazine proxy error
7)battery alarm
And a few more......hahaha
So lets show how we all help....
1)alarm,,,this one i ran into with our 515, its a stupid little 4x4 fan that fried ...dont ask me y it gives a transformer alarm?? The book doesnt say how to fix ether?!!! So thank god for a little experiance from work for this one!!!
2) sum check-everyone with low batteriea gets this, on my machine i power down, open cabinet, with a little flat head i throw 2nd from top dip switch(no dissasembly required),turn machine back on and off till its gone(so far only had to do it once, not 10 times), once alarm is gone, turn machine back off, put the dip switch back, turn machine on again and home out. I still get the battery alarm and machine wont come to life untill i clear it with reset, then its fine
3)hydrolic low pressure- in my case there was NONE!!! It was because i wired it out if phase and pump spun backwards!! Hahaha
This is what i learned (277,277,280) NOT (277,280,277) lol. Sry, im not an electrition. So R0=277/S0=277/T0=280.....if you still have isue switch R0 & S0, keep high leg on T0
4)E-STOP=check all e-stops! Mine was the carasels e-stop pushed in
5)tool changer door proxy error= its stuck open because my dumbass still didnt put air to the machine! Lol
6)magazine proxy error=put machine in hand mode and push the magazine jog button, it will find its happy home then!!
7)battery alarm= HIT RESET TO CLEAR AND BRING HYDROLICS TO LIFE, ether they need to charge or be replaced? My machine sat for 4 months without being connected in a warehouse so im looking into sum new ones,,,,,,would you guys believe me if i said it never lost the parameters?!! But all the mazatrol prog. Were all f'd up and had to be earesed.
I hope this also helps guys in the future like reading this forum did for me, all those issues were fixed in 20min because i knew what to do from all the research i did on here!! I will be starting a new thread because my y axis drive has a red led lit (red led bar ,bottom block of led bar) were x and z dont and i need to know if its an issue i need to look into tho.....no alarms so its no rush. Unless you can tell me yours does too? Lol.
