Re: Interlock is tripping.

It would be unusual for the E-Stop switch to short out.

Do you have a electrical meter you can use to test the 24Volts DC supply & see if it is being dragged down?

Re: Interlock is tripping.

It does look like the 24volts DC is being shorted out by something.

With it being updated to Nach 3 I am not sure where to suggest to proceed.

Did you upgrade the machine yourself?

Re: Interlock is tripping.

Yes if it is the coil causing the issue.

It could also be the zero speed output from the spindle drive.

Se how you get on.

Re: Interlock is tripping.

If you remove wire number 90 from the GIR that will disconnect the guard solenoid.

It may also be worth checking the diode fitted inside the Guardmaster switch.

Re: Interlock is tripping.

It sounds like something may be shorting out the 24Volts DC.

It may be worth disconnecting one of the wires going to the guard lock solenoid.

Re: 0-10Volt card help

It`s hard to see what board it is.

I thought it was the toolpost control card at first but not sure now.

If you remove the board it may have a part number on the bottom.

The Lock Nut is most likely a KM1

The tool we used was made at Denfords a while ago.

Re: Cyclone machine parameters

It will be a FANUC OTA Control.

Attached is the Electrical Record Sheet for TP0011 although the control serial number is different.

Re: New problem

You should be able to bend the wire & lay it in a position which is away from the lead screw.

Re: The buttons along the bottom ofthe Fanuc screen

I think they were all options but the graphics required a new card fitting.

If you can find the original 900 parameters it would be worth checking.

Re: Mirac Turret info needed.

Yes.

I think we set the HZ to 37 but not 100% on that. It also controls the accel & decel.

Re: Mirac Turret info needed.

I have attached the electrical drawings for the MIrac PC from 1995 showing the shared spindle/toolpost inverter but with the DM8 toolpost.

The RH80 works exactly the same. The inverter is programed to alter the voltage depending on what input is requested.

The white button on the front should be for indexing the turret manually.

Hi Charlie

It would be unusual for all three to fail at the same time.

Can you double check that the Datums are connected to PL.M on the PNC3 Control.
