Z- overtravel change
We have a Denford Cyclone, which has a GE Fanuc Series O-T controller. Up until recently we had a pneumatic chuck fitted but have now changed over to a manually operated chuck. The trouble is that the manual chuck does not extend as far out as the pneumatic one so the Z- over travel alarm is invoked when the tool is still roughly 28mm away from the jaws of the chuck. Can anyone tell me how to extend the Z-travel? I have found parameter 705 has the current Z-limit of 176000mm how do I go about changing this to something like 201000mm?
Re: Z- overtravel change
You will need to set PWE (perameter write enable) to 1.
Make sure the program protect key switch is dissabled.
Then go to parameter 705 & input -210000 (210mm) & press enter.
Don't forget to change PWE back to 0 when finished.
