I purchased a new to me cnc lathe (hwacheon HiEco 21hs with a Fanuc 18t) back in September. Before moving it I had the batteries in the control replaced, so its possible a parameter was lost at this time.
I am just now getting around to setting the machine up. On power up, the machine's absolute position is shown as a value that wouldn't be possible (as in its outside of the machines total travel). This would be an issue if the machine had absolute encoders, but looking at parameter 1815, I don't think it does.
The Z axis Zero Point and X axis Zero Point lights are both flashing. (which leads me to believe there should a homing procedure)
So what am I missing? is there an obvious button I am not seeing to home the machine, or is it something else?
Unfortunately, I don't have a manual for this specific machine, though I do have the manuals for the fanuc 18 control.
