Hi Everyone,
I started getting an error "220 turret position sensor malf". It started doing it only when indexed to tool 12, now all of a sudden half the tools are doing it. I noticed when I index the turret the tool number isn't changing right away. It's as if the machine doesn't realize it's indexing. The turret seems to index correctly and the problem has been intermitten for over a week. Just today it decided to get worse. The manual says to check the turret position sensor and replace if neccessary. (LOL, Mazak and there wonderful descriptions)
I checked the parts manual and found one switch in the back of the turret, but I quickly realized that is the clamp sensor (a hall switch). that sits at the back end of the shaft.
Any thoughts and or advice would certainly be appreciated.
Tim
