Machine builder: Monarch
Model: Predator
Year: 1995
Controller: FANUC 18-TB
Turret: Sauter VDI 30 with live tooling
Description: I bought this machine, good value with full c-axis and live tooling. We came across two issues.
1) Broken t-nuts on the turret backplate likely from a crash from original owner, replaced nuts and realigned turret.
2) The major issue: machine has a bad angular encoder, called Sauter for a replacement, installed.
Turret will now index and lock in MDI and JOG but even though I taught the new encoder to pos.1 when I MDI it to any position it is one off.
I receive a 2075 alarm "Turret position verify failed" and in the machine book, this is a machine builder alarm.
Called Monarch asking if there is maybe a turret home out procedure and thus far nothing.
Any idea where I should troubleshoot on this machine?
