Hello,
I am switching from a CNC milling machine to a CNC lathe. The lathe is a Pinacho Taurus 260 with Fagor 8055 control. It has 8 tools and no device for tool measurement, two axex(Z and X). It looks old and has no identification plate, probably made befor 2000. The chuck is hidraulic.
I am not too shure how to do the homing at start-up. The milling machine it had a predefined automatic cycle that made the axes move until they hit the limit switches in orher to find the machine zero position.
On this lathe when i start the homing cycle the axes move only about 10mm and then they stop. The machine zero seems to be in te place left the saddle. After this it will let me manually jog until it hits the physical limits of the axes, then it stops the drives and generates an alarm. When i set the machine zero in certain positions the soft limit will trigger without reaching the physical limits and shutting down the drives. There is a zero mark on the saddle for the X axis but not for the Z axis too.
I also checked the manual for Fagor 8055TC. I'm not shure what model it actually is. The steps for homing are not very detailed, it doesn't specify if i need to jog the saddle in a specific position in order to do an accurate homing.
I hope there is someone here that worked with this kind of machine and can help me figure out what i'm doing wrong.
