At work we have a 1990s (not sure the exact year) supermax max3 mill with an fanuc om control. Somewhat recently, I was in the middle of a tool change when I hit the reset button. Ever since then, the control gives an alarm for tool 3 (1008, I think. I'll check on Monday). I heard this has something to do with the tool number not matching the pocket number in the parameters but I'm unsure.
The machine is also out of tram in both directions. Front to back in not awful but can make facing operations difficult. Left to right, is pretty bad meaning I can only make a cut in one direction and still have acceptable surface finish. Does this need to be fixed mechanically or in the control? How would this be dealt with?
Lastly, the sprindle has some kind of problem preventing us from running it over about 1,000 rpm without making a lot of noise. We are fairly certain the bearings are bad but is there, potentially, another cause?
Ultimately, I'd like to find copies of all the manuals (I've heard there are three main ones: electrical, ladder, and maintenance/operators) the only paperwork we have on this machine is the brochure, it talks about the max1 and max3 machines.
If anymore information is needed, please let me know. These problems are driving me crazy and I'm the only one at work who cares enough to look for solutions.
