Hi. There are usually 2 sensors on a lathe, one confirms chuck open, other one chuck closed. They're on top of kitagawa hydraulic cylinder unit. They burn from time to time.

This could also be telling you that your drawtube doesn't have the same travel as it used to,indicating dirt or debris in the chuck or collet system.
Worth a look.
You should be able to adjust the prox switches for the drawtube position. If you can, then you can see if the switch is bad.
If not, then take the chuck off and clean it.
