Hello Martin, Yes the X axis has to be at the centre of the cylindrical rod that is spinning. But in other machines i take the X reference by touching the tool tip at the top surface of the rod, read the machine value there and add the radius of the rod. Then i put the resultant in the offsets and t...

Dear Sirs, I am having couple of problem with my Cyclone, fitted with OT mate control . 1) When I home the axes the z axis values read Zero but the X axis absolute value reads 158 everytime and the machine value is always 0. My parameter number 708 is 158000. 700, 701, 728 and 729 is 9999999. And 70...

And Denford Admin, how can i get a service manual for thismachine, i which i can find all of this trouble shooting and parameters.
I am ready to pay for it.

Hello Denford Admin and other experts, i need some more help from u guys. My machine is back to life. The axes are moving, they r doing Zrturn. Spindle runs fine and the turret also moves manually from the knob given outside. But now the problem remains that as i told you it doesnt have any control ...

Thankyou Mr Alan for being kind enough to send me the 8000 parameters, i punched them in and atleast the machine is back to live. The spindle is running and the turret is moving manually. And there are no alarms showing now. Only when the turret moves it gives me 410 servo alarm. And also that the s...

Mr Admin plz hava look at the picture of the motor attached. The type seems to be 2-0.
I have tried to resize the phoograph. Plz accept my apologies if it still appears to be big.

Dear Sir one more question before i try to punch in something.

My motor type written is A06B.

And the 8 thousand parameters are starting from 8100 to 8279.

Where are these 8020 and other 80-- ?


Secondly when i try to enter the 900 parameters some of them even after entering doesnt change?

Dear Sirs, Instead of going forward with my trouble shooting i m going backward. A person who came to fix my machine with the errors 401, 414 424, actually ended up fumbling with the wire which goes to the battery and i dun know he switched it off or something and now the parameters are gone. Mr Bla...

Thankyou for ur reply Steve.
At the moment i only hear one clunk when the machine turns on. thats it.

There is a red led on the drive card as well which i dun think i have noticed before.
Can u figure out now where the fault is.

my 720 and 721 bit is set to...00010000
and 722 and 723 are all zeros.

What is there to change?

I almost lost my faith in this machine. Until yesterday with a help of a friend who fix machines. I was able to get the spindle slides and turret running and as when we were ready to run a program my friends leg hit the back latch or door which was open. The machine suddenly gave us alarm no 401,414...

Thankyou for all ur replies. And i apologize on my late reply was busy working on some other stuff. I think the serial number have to be somewhere on the machine. I know colchester lathes doesnt only have ID panels but also have the serial number engraved on there bed slides. Do you guys know if Den...

the upper one says ....CYC 1.0 A 012
Lower one says......CYC 1.0 A 011

And abt the parameters being correct, all the cards and everything is fine ihave gotten it checked. I had two different ppl over and they both told me to get the parameters if u want it working.

The turret has something written on it. I will write it down as it is. Dun exactly know wat it is. So plz guide me.

RH 80/6
MATR No: 82710
No Poli : 2
V110 A 3.6 Hz 50.

Is it turret specification ?

Thankyou for the reply sir. No, there is no serial number infact there is no ID panel on the machine. Maybe the earlier place who had it took it off or something. The machinery house who sold me the machine, i wod try to locate and contact him to know where he got this from in UK. Regards, Abdul

no replies yet!!!

Atleast tell me how can i contact the company to give me the parameters. I will pay them if they ask me for it.
I have emailed them but they dun reply.

Thanks

The parameters itself are not given in the link provide. Mr. Rob was kind enough to give me parameters but i aint punching them in as their control model is different. And secondly i dun know which parameter represent which funtion of the machine. A person was also telling me apart from servo parame...

Dear All, I am a fresh graduate so dun know much abt machines. I recently bought a denford cyclone with fanuc OT Mate control from a machine house in 'as it is' condition. No manual or any sort of document comes with it. Initially it was giving me 401,414,424 error. I cleaned the drive cards and the...
