Hey guys,
This afternoon our Hardinge Conquest T42 developed a problem with the turret.
Had run a couple hundred parts(bar work), over a thousand tool changes today. Put a new bar in, checked to make sure rough face tool cleaned the end of bar, and walked away(to program another part).
After a few minutes, noticed I didn't hear the machine running. Checked and had...
1003 Turet Unclamped alarm
416 Servo Alarm: A Axis disconnect
tl;dr Then proceeded to beat my head against the wall for ~10 hrs.
The machine hadn't crashed, no broke tooling. Machine was ~3/4 of the way thru the part program, when alarm occurred. Went to safe position to call next tool, and alarmed.
Reset, and zero returned turret. Jogged a few tool changes, and had the same thing occur.
Sometimes I can do half a dozen tool changes, sometimes one(before alarms reoccur). Once in a while the turret will raise, index, and clamp, then alarm. But most of the time the turret will raise, index, then alarm. Just as it should be clamping, solenoid doesn't fire(release) though.
It indexes(near as I can tell) correctly, i.e. it's on index.
Turned the machine off, and unplugged/re-plugged all the "Honda" cables. Encoder to CNC, and CNC to Drive. No change.
We've got (2) more machine in storage, so I swapped the drive. No change.
I pulled an encoder cable, and swapped. No change.
This machine has a "Dual Axis" servo drive, for X, and A(the turret). Does it seem odd the I'm seeing an 416 alarm for the A Axis, rather than a 4(A)6 alarm?
Diagnostic(Servo Alarm) 200 is all zero's, except for FBA on the "A" Axis
Diagnostic(Servo Alarm) 201 is all zero's
Servo Motor Tuning screen alarms for "A" is...
Alarm1 00000010
Alarm2 01001001
In the morning I'm gonna plug a similar motor in(power, and encoder), and see if that works. Any other Ideas?
