We bought a new used Lico (POS) lathe that was supposed to be ready to go. Turret will not index a tool position. When you hit tool index on the control, it flips over like 6.5 positions and then errors out with bad encoder or problem relay. We replaced the encoder with another used unit with the same problem. Have verified drive motor contactor, relays, and prox switch are good. Acts like the turret motor just does not know when to stop turning or cannot stop in time.
I am thinking the encoder might be good because the IO chart indicates changes in position as it turns, and the control recognized which tool it is on. We are now working to test the encoder. What do you think?? Control issue or turret?
