As I seen in the forum this might be an easy fix somewhere but this is frustrating.
This is a 2014 Vf1 8100 rpm 20 umbrella tool changer. Until recently changes tools fine. History of the machine is new spindle due to rapid into a vise over a year ago. Otherwise new z axis cover last week due to parts wore out in cover. which no reason tool change issues.
about 2 weeks ago on startup tool changer would not home out due to it would go into tool change pos and alarm 134. It would pause then the std recovery would work. once recovered would work fine rest of the day. Last week due to holidays as well. finding recovery would not work out the problem. Only a spindle warm up and after trying the recovery about 4 to 5 times.
Recover, press F1
Reset press "y" attempts to bring up spindle fail.
Have to press cycle start to bring up spindle, no tools in locations or in spindle
then press "n" no tool in line with spindle or in spindle
Press "y" then recovery is done.
Today went and did this 19 times. Yes 19. After a spindle warm up had to walk away from it. Seems to change tools now just fine, there is a hint of a pause with tool release when Z comes up. I turn it off in an empty location but kind of running out of ideas as to why this occurs.
