All the parameters seem to be there.
I does look like it has to be referenced, but I think it is stuck on the Z+ limit.
How can I move it off the limit?

Hi all, I have a problem with my Cyclone. Hasn't been used for a while and batteries went flat. I replaced them while the machine was on but it has lost its Z return position and also I am getting some other strange errors. I get 5138 FSSB:Error when i first turn the machine on. After hitting the gr...

There is one at the back too, you have to unscrew the motor and lift away from the turret casting to get at it.

Opened up the encoder plug and it was full of coolant, looks like the seal broke down over time.
Cleaned it out, resoldered and now good as new. Thanks

I have a couple of spares here that I made when I was having turret trouble. I can send them to you if like, or if you would rather make them; I made them from nylon and they are 17mm diameter x 6.65mm long and I put a 1.5mm chamfer at one end. If you open the front cap you will probably see that th...

Hi, Looking for some advice on a Cyclone with Fanuc 21i control. I have no RPM reading on the screen display. The spindle will run at different speeds and the override works but the screen says 0rpm. Been using the lathe in feed per minute mode instead, but have a load of screw cutting jobs coming u...

What is the problem with your turret Chris?

I ended up getting a replacement from Harrier Pneumatics in Bristol for £64

I never unsoldered the encoder from the machine and have double checked if there is a short to that wire but can't see anything. Got a feeling that the phot diode has died, someone is going to attempt a repair for me. Please can you tell me if the control uses the parity bit? Inside the turret box i...

The above issue was solved b y cleaning oil out for the encoder. Now the problem has come back, any tool change apart from to tool 1, the turret just spins infinitely. The encoder has 4 pairs of photoemitter/photodiodes inside and slots for the on and off positions. All of the bits are as they shoul...

Hi,
Does anyone have an encoder for the TOE 80 turret that they don't need.
It is marked AG 60?

Great work on the through coolant system, could you please post some photos/details of where the coolant feeds into the rear of the turret?

Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement from, or has anyone sourced a suitable alternative?
Specifically looking for the sensing distance

Hi all, Still having issues with the tool turret, have taken it apart replaced seals and the bump stops(which had pretty much disintegrated). ' It did seem better. Some jobs are fine, some still getting the same issues as the original post... It will spin past the tool it is indexing too then do an ...

Sorted this in the end, just changed the grid shift parameter by 1mm

Hi, I am having a couple of issues with my Triac and was wondering if anyone can help... These problems used to happen once every few months but now have become more regular., Haven't used it for a few weeks but need to use it on some jobs soon so need to try and sort these problems. Firstly the too...

Mine was fitted with a Pratt Burnerd 125mm chuck with the same dimensions that you have. I need hard jaws also, I found these on ebay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/362560172564?chn=ps I bought a nice new two piece jaw chuck for mine from cutwel for just over £300 https://www.cutwel.co.uk/workholding/s...

The turret on my Cyclone would very occasionally not tool change, but was fine if turned off and on again. This morning it has started doing other strange things, It will spin past the tool it is indexing too then do an extra rotation before stopping on it. Sometimes it will immediately move to the ...

The machine is located in Weymouth, Dorset but I can put on a pallet for delivery.

I have always either sent small programs to the control or dripfed via EasyDNC which can be bought for £100 iirc.
