No I haven't got it going yet, just getting back to it today.
I replaced the x/turret servo amp according to the tags above the unit. The x-functionality seems to be ok but the turret is giving me trouble.
When I attempt to home the turret as described above, or do any sort of turret move I get a #8 error on the drive. It does start to move out but then errors.
As far as absolute vs incremental. I think I have incremental on all axis's. not sure if they mix and match but param 1815 is all zeros.
I reached out to Hardinge and they were helpful. Sent me a test and a machine setup procedure. The test:
"Power down complete.
Wait 30 seconds.
Power back up.
Leave the estop mushroom button pressed in.
Hold in on estop reset.
While holding press turret index.
See if the turret moves out.
If not check power to the turret raise lower valve.
If it raises out reset up turret home per attached."
The turret does move out so I guess its onto the setup procedure.
MAIN TURRET (NON-ABSOLUTE “A OR B” CONTROL)
1]. NOTE: (If Ballscrew Sub-Spindle, Turn K10.3 OFF)
2]. Set Turret Proximity Switches (See The Run And Adjust Final Assembly Instructions
For This Process)
3]. Adjust Decel Dog Until Decel Switch LED Just Goes Out
4]. Zero Return Turret:
5]. In Zero return Mode, Press BLK-SKIP, Turret Will Raise Then Press And
Hold ZERO RETURN And TURRET Buttons, It Will Zero Return. If The Turret
Does Not Line Up With Station #1, Move The Decel Dog Around And Find The Spot
Where The Line Is Closest To Lining Up.
6]. (Zero Return The Turret Each Time You Move The Decel Dog.)
7]. Press SYSTEM Hard Key
8]. Press DGNOS Soft Key
9]. Input 301, Press NO-SCH Key
10]. Press REPEAT MODE
11]. Press PROGRAM 1 & 2 To Move The Turret And Line Up To Station #1
12]. When Station #1 Is Lined-up, Press REPEAT MODE,
13]. Press BLK-SKIP (Turret Should Sit Down)
14]. Record The Number In 301A
15]. If The Turret Was Moved Clockwise To Line Up Station #1, Take The Number From
301A And Input This Number In Parameter 1850A
OR-
If The Turret Was Moved Counter clockwise To Line Up Station #1, Take The Number
From 301A And Subtract 360000 From It.(It Should Be Negative). Input This Number
In Parameter 1850A
16]. Power Down Control Then Re-Initialize.
17]. Re-Zero The Turret
18]. Make Sure Turret Sits Down
(If Turret Does Not Sit Down Repeat Steps 3 - 17)
19]. Press SYSTEM Hard Key
20]. Press DGNOS Soft Key
21]. Input 300, Press NO-SCH Key
22]. Check Number In 300A.
23]. Rotate The Turret Through All Stations And Find The Highest Number.
24]. Take The Opposite Of The Highest Number Found, And Add This Number To The
Number Already In Parameter 1850A.
25]. Power Down Control Then Re-Initialize.
26]. Re-Zero The Turret
27]. Repeat Step 21 (The Number Should Be ± 30 Counts)
(If The Number Is Not ± 30 Counts Repeat Steps 22-26)
28]. Lock Down Set Screws On Decel Dog.
Oh boy
If you aint got no 1's in the APC column of 1815, you aint got no ABS encoders anywhere.
How about param 4077?
IDK about this machine, but that typically goes for turrets.
I am guessing that the value in 4077 is the count that it is s'posed to go after seeing the cam prox drop out, but IDK that fer sure...
I have just adj that by simply loosening and adjusting the cam it'self, so ...
I totally redid my turret. Whole diff arangement, diff motor, did gear ratio, the whole werks.
I never set any HOME position.
When you initiate a TURRET HOME, the turret should lift and index + direction until it comes around to prox station 12 (10?) and then it should see the cam bump and slow way down, until it does NOT see it anymore, and then it should stop and seat on POS 1.
It's really that simple....
... and we're sure that you're not getting the same alarms as you had prior to replacing the amp?
X and Z doo in fact HOME fine you say?
Doo you have the turret alarm at full reboot?
(Power off at case level - not just turn off the control)
How long have you had this machine?
It sounds like you are a little green on how it werks?
Again - still ass_u_ming that all things the same as a "51" machine. (?)
