Thanks, that's the one I'm looking at, but I can't find any info anywhere about this machine, and the seller hasn't replied to my question relating to the machines operational state. Bob

Anyone got any info on this machine?

Hi, I can't seem to find any info on this machine, there is one on ebay, any form of info, pictures etc would be helpful.

Bob

Ok, has anyone got the parameters for the zero turn that they would be willing to share ?

Thanks, you've seen what I'm looking at !
It's very tempting though.....

Question....
What is the likelihood of denford records having the parameters list for a zeroturn serial number ZT20049 July 1989.Fanuc OT control.
Bob

Thanks, a quick Google, which I forgot to do before posting, revealed the same answer and subsequent remedy...... Deep pockets seems to be part of the cure !

Advice required please for spindle alarm AL17 on a Fanuc ot on a zero turn.

Photo of my plate

Seems my cyclone spec plate was stamped wrong. Says main motor was 5hp, but beside that it says 2.2kw, which converts to 3hp, which is as rightly pointed out on one reply. Thanks.

Photo won't load, I'll try again

That was helpful ! I worked that one out already

I have been offered a zero turn lathe, but ask if this is more powerful than the cyclone I owned. Looks to me that both have a 5 hp main motor ?
Also, it's says it's a slant bed, but compared to my cyclone, it doesn't look the same layout. Bob

Many thanks.
I will call the company and order one, but am not near my machine so cant get technical details, wonder if you can offer size, ratings etc as something to give to supplier to order one.
Bob

Thanks
We are talking about the same thing I trust, the tiny micro switch mounted on the plate that is inside the housing on the right hand side of the turret control. If so , any part number or technical description please would be useful so I can order a replacement from the link you gave me
bob

Amendment.

I think I have called the microswitch, mounted in the end of the turret control housing, beside the green rotary switch, a relay.

I guess this is what you call the turret clamp switch ?

The is a RH-80 turret

Bob

Many thanks.
I will have to ask where this is located, and what diagnostic bit, and where that is hiding.
Bob

Well, it seems the problems we found were not the overall cause of our troubles. What is happening now is the turret will rotate and lock once if activated manually, but a second posistion will not take place if the position knob on the lower part of the control is put to another tool position numbe...

Seems the problem was one of the 2 screws that hold the flat drive key under the encoder had fallen out. This allowed the 2 sliding keys to misalign. Cleaned all the muck out and reassembled. Turret doesnt rotate at all now, seems to jamb up. I think the 2 sliding keys or dogs are not in the right p...

Many Thanks. Its the RH-80
I'll look tonight.
