I just acquired a CNC toolroom lathe project with a Fanuc 0i-TB Mate control. The machine did not see much love or maintenance and I'm trying to get it back into commission.
Anyway, the machine alarms out when homing. After a little investigation, it looks like someone removed the actuator "shoe" for the X axis home switch. I also found the X & Z axis limit / home switches were all gunked-up and had sticky plungers. It think I've got the sticky plungers fixed but I would like to verify the switches are working properly.
I'm not familiar with the Fanuc control, is there a diagnostic page that shows the status of the limit / home switches?
