Home Position variation and ATC issue
Posted: Sat 06 Jul , 2019 8:02 am
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 tool change keeps erroring out intermittently, the carousel moves into position, head rises then this error appears...
The second problem is that the Y axis home position keeps changing by 2.5mm, I home the machine, set the datum, then at some point when it homes either when the machine is turned on or even between tool changes the home position is offset by 2.5mm which offsets datum and unless I watch it scraps the job.
I guess that it is probably a home switch problem, I have a Fanuc OM Triac and it has 3 limit switches on the Y axis, I have recently replaced the back one and the middle one. I was under the impression that the one right at the front was a travel hard limit and was not involved in the homing sequence. Anyone know?
