Greetings,
Been having this alarm pop up recently. Stops the machine cold and have to reboot. I'm running a 1" 12L14 steel bar job. A couple of the sticks are not the straightest and am dealing with some vibration. Using a Trusty Cook liner and Spego bar feed. I'm wondering if the vibration can be setting this off.
There is a proximity sensor that reads the passing of three notches cut out of the brake disc hub and is labeled spindle speed sensor in the book. It's connected directly to the PLC. Is this thing sensitive to noise and/or vibration? I see it's mounted very close and thought tomorrow I'd move it away a bit and see if it still reads okay.
After my program stalled a couple times in the higher speed sections (capped at 3000rpm) I pulled the bar out and ran it without stock and had no problems over what was three, two minute runs. With it being so intermittent thus far I'm reluctant to swear to it that I've solved the problem. I mean, was running it without stock and eliminating the vibration really fixing the problem, or was the machine simply playing nice for the time being? Hard to tell.
I can't find squat about this error either here on the www. Anyone with past experience or ideas what I might be up against? (2000 Mori SL200-SMC Fanuc 18iTA)
Thanks.
Dave
