Hi, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on my problem.
I have bought an old but working Cnc lathe. It’s a Takisawa TC-3 with fanuc 10t controller. It was working fine prior to delivery, but now it will not take or execute commands in MDI or run a program in auto mode.
All manual functions work (chuck open/close, tailstock quill, chuck will spin up, tool turret rotate etc)
It did have a computer (rs232 cabled) with it and a chip conveyer that are no longer connected. It’s just the machine standing alone.(doesn’t appear to have a tape reader)
If the controller has had parameters changed for dnc communication, will the machine look for the connection and throw an alarm when trying to start a program? Just seems weird, like a door closed or chuck not closed switch but these all seem fine? (No door switch can be found)
It seems very close to running, Any ideas would be greatly appreciated to get this old girl turning again
