We just got a 2006 Hyundai-Kia SKT210SY which is a Live Tool Y-Axis lathe with Sub-Spindle and Parts Catcher. The control is a Fanuc 18i-TB
The machine is great except that we cant get the parts catcher to work.
The M Codes are M73 (on) & M74 (off).
If I manually actuate the air solenoid and then command M74, it goes down just fine.
BUT, when I command M73, it says "Waiting on FIN signal" and it doesn't activate the relay or do anything else for that matter.
Weve check literally everything. The solenoid is good, the wires are good, at this point we think its a parameter or an interlock in the control that is not allowing the M code to be executed.
At first we were thinking that maybe one of the parameters isn't right but now we are stumped.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
