Hey guys,
Question from a long time lurker/new poster- Our 2008 Sharp SV-2412 with Oi Mate-MC control has a tool changer issue. It seems the geneva cam that rotates the umbrella tool changer is stopping about 45 degrees out of line of where it should stop. It's working, stopping the magazine in the correct spot due to the nature of the the cam, but the cam lobe/sensor tab isn't under the sensor which causes an 1810 "MAGAZINE NOT IN POSITION" alarm.
You can hit the rotate magazine button and it moves fine, and the homing sensor for Tool 1 is fine (lights up when the stud is under it). If you hold a screwdriver up to the geneva cam sensor the alarm turns off, and you can see in the picture the cam is rotated further than needed past the sensor(which, again, still leaves the magazine in the correct spot).
It looks dirtier in the picture than it is, I'm fairly confident it's not a case of chips tripping the sensor. It's the sensor NOT seeing the lobe/sensor tab that seems to be the issue.
Further background- the machine came from another PM member and is in good shape, we've been running it daily with no issues since last year. It's running off a Phase Perfect and dried air. I've read through a number of other threads and haven't found anyone with this issue. And am waiting to hear back from the technical support at Sharp, I've talked to them (or him, singular?) before and he was very helpful.
So, anyone experience this before? Could the cam be loose and slipping on the shaft? I'd expect it to be keyed or splined, but don't actually know. Maybe some kind of electrical gremlin moving it out of position?
Thanks for any help.
