General CNC Information

When a machine tool continually over travels when attempting zero return, make
sure the overt ravel switch is not being made before the zero return function
is finished. On most machines, when reference returning, the decel dog makes
the switch, the machine decels and continues at this low feed rate until the
switch drops off of the back of the decel dog. At this exact instant the
control commands a one revolution of the motor. after the one rev it looks
for the marker. One revolution on most machines equals about .!!" of axis
movement. #o, if the over travel switch is closer to the back side of the
decel dog than .!!" it may be engaged while the control is trying to find
the marker. $nless you are very confident of the travel limits of the machine
you should move the decel dog a little in the negative direction rather than
moving the over travel dog. %ut either one will have the desired effect.
When working with &! 'z inductive devices the voltage tolerance is !( of
the rated value. When )! 'z it is *!(.
+ormally, double arm tool changers don,t use a -.!. /he 0 axis stays put
while the arm moves up and down. /herefore the machines home position is
the tool change position. Also on double arm tool changers, when the arm is
in the up position the spring loaded grippers can be pushed in easily. When
the arm is in the down position the locking pins go up which locks the
fingers in on the tool holder. /his prevents the tool from being thrown.
On most cylindrical grinders the table traversing left to right is done by
mechanical means. /he lever in the center of the travel is connected by a
shaft to a directional valve so that when the lever is moved either by hand
or by contact with the travel dog it switches the valve which changes
direction. +ormally, there will be limit switches which are actuated by a
cam on the lever. /hese switches have nothing to do with the table
traversing. What they do is cause the wheel to move in by the selected amount
each time the table reaches the end of travel in each direction.
On a 1eadwell 2345*.!!#, the standby tool is stored in 6iagnostic .7. /his
number can be seen to change as the tool positions are counted. /hey will
change only during an Automatic /ool 3hange not when magazine is 8ogged.
6iagnostic .79 records when tool position * is up. :t should always be a *.
6iagnostic .7! is the A/3 capacity. :f the tool number becomes confused;
*. 2anually move the magazine to tool position *.
. #et 6iagnostic .7 to *.
.. #et 6iagnostic .79 to *.
<. 2ake sure 6iagnostic .7! reflects the correct capacity.
&. 6o a tool change in 26: to check operation.
When setting the tool capacity, you must insert a whole number in %36. :n
the case of the 2345*.!!#, the tool capacity is .! tools. #o 6iagnostic .7!
must be !!**!!!!. :n true %36, it would look like !!** !!!!.
=emember %36 works this way;
7 < * 7 < *

/here is an instruction in the 1adder rung for 2!) which checks 6iagnostic
.7!. /his instruction ?1@3*A ?=&&*.A checks the tool number called against
6.7! ?/ool 3apacityA. :f the tool called is higher than 6.7!?i.e, 2!) /.*A,
2!) will not execute. /here will be no alarm, the 2 3ode simply will not
execute. :f the contents of 6.7! is higher than the actual capacity, the
result will be tool confusion. #etting 6.7! to a very high number will cause
the magazine to continually rotate when a tool is called. Another symptom of
a 6.7! incorrect setting is that if a number lower than the tool capacity but
higher than the current tool is input, any tool number lower than the current
tool or the magazine capacity can be called but nothing higher.

:f <<! volts is applied to a %ridgeport #eries * 3+3 when it is wired for
! volts, the most likely result is that the A33 board will be damaged.
/he %ridgeport %oss controls use open loop stepper motors. 2ounted to the
side door of the electrics cabinet are four nearly identical boards. /hree
are the F, G and 0 axis drives. /he fourth is the A33 board. /he final amp
stage for the axes is mounted to the large heat sink. /heir are four for
each axis.
2ost parts for these controls are only available through @lectrical #outh.
7!!5C&!5C&&!.
Whenever working with a machine that is in a not ready state or the axes are
inhibited or interlock for a reason that is difficult to discern, make sure
that the A/3 or tool turret, as the case may be, is ready. All machines
require that the tool changing mechanism is ready before the machine can be
ready. :n the case of a machining center, be sure the tool pot is horizontal.
:n the case of a turning center, be sure the turret is clamped.
1e%lond 2akino does not use the Danuc built in B23, it builds it,s own. :n
most cases the components are Du8i @lectric. #o if you try to access the
1adder, you may not be able to by normal Danuc means. Gou will usually need
to consult the 2akino manual for the proper operation.
On a 2akino D+39<, if you have problems with the tool changer, check the
solenoids on the side of the machine. #olenoids 9!, 9*, 9< and 9& should
have the A side turned on when the tool changer is at home. :f they are not,
the A/3 is not ready. :f any of them are on % you must;
*. @lectrically ?by switching the coil wires at the solenoidA shift the valve
to A. :f solenoid 9& is on %, do it first.
. While keeping the valve switched ?holding the wireA press the @5#top.
.. =elease the @5#top.
<. #hift the next one. :f 9< is on %, do it after 9&.
&. =epeat the @5#top procedure as above.

the valve before you switch it to prevent slamming one part of the tool
changer into another.

:f a machine leaves a bump at the quadrants during circular interpolation,
the control is probably overcompensating for backlash.
On most @62 machines trying to discharge without polarity selected causes the
generator power to shut down. :n most cases, polarity is selected by pulling

On a 'urco control, every time it turns on all necessary data is loaded from
the Dlash @prom to =A2. :f you replace the 2ain board, you must take the
blank eprom from the new board and replace it with the one from the old
board. %efore you do this you should do a 2aster #ave to be sure everything
in =A2 is stored to the @B=O2. A 2aster 3lear will erase everything from
=A2 but will not affect the @B=O2. /his is sometimes helpful in solving
problems. :f you have some strange problems you can try doing a 2aster 3lear
then disconnect the backup battery from the 2ain %oard with a piece of paper
between the battery and the contacts for about two minutes with the power
off. /hen remove the paper and turn the power back on.
:f you have a -olden #un =otary /able that misindexes intermittently,
remove the drive motor and check the gear pulley. /he gear is a taper lock
with six bolts. /hey can come loose allowing the table to misindex. :f
you remove the encoder to check it you must put it back with the coupler in
the same orientation. :t can go back one of two ways. @ither correctly or
*7! degrees out. :f it is *7! degrees out, the table will zero return one
degree from where it would otherwise.

Dor problems with =#5., especially in one direction only suspect pin or
. wiring problem depending on which direction the problem is in. :f the
problem is in both directions suspect pin 9 of the & pin connector or pin
& of the C pin connector. A poor connection will cause a situation where
data can be transferred at a slow baud rate but not at a higher one.
On a Hia H:/.!A you have to push the #tandby button for the hydraulics to
come on and make the machine ready. :f the machine hits a hard limit switch,
you must hold in the #tandby button.
With servo systems a motor running at a constant speed will have an equal
number of command pulses and feedback pulses.

/he 2ori #eiki 2'). has a door switch on the +3 cabinet. :f this switch is
not made, the +3 will not turn on. :f an axis of this machine has a 8erky
movement, it could be the scale but always first check the amount of backlash
in the axis. Barticularly with the G axis which is moving a great deal of
weight. /he G axis of a horizontal machining center carries not only it,s
own weight but the 0 axis and the spindle. @xcessive backlash in the system
can cause a stickIslip condition especially on an older machine where the
ways may be worn in the middle of the travel but like new at the ends.

/he 1adder cannot be monitored on the Gasnac 2F control.
Dor troubleshooting A/3 problems on the 245)& there is a manual A/3 mode.
/o enter this mode there is a 2A+$A1 A/3 button that must be pressed. /he
button is behind a door on the right hand side of the Operators Banel cabinet
Also behind this cover is the Over travel =elease, the =#5. port and the
**! 4A3 outlet.
Once the 2anual A/3 button is pressed, the machine enters the @6:/ mode and
the @==O= lamp starts flashing. Bress the A12 button, the A/3 2A+$A1 screen
is displayed. /he screen looks like this;

+ow you can perform these four functions by pressing buttons that are redesignated for that function
while in the 2anual A/3 mode. :f you look closely
at the buttons for things like #ingle %lock 3oolant On and Off, %lock #kip,
etc., you will find that there are small numbers in the right hand corner.
When working in screens like A/3 2anual, these numbers operate the function
listed beside the number. Dor example, if while in the 2anual A/3 mode, you
press the #ingle %lock button which has a * on it, the pot will go up. Bress5
ing the 3oolant On button which has a on it, the pot will go down. Bressing
the 3oolant Off button which has a < on it will make the A/3 arm rotate in
reverse.
When you are finished with the A/3 2anual mode you have to push the button
again to turn it off. :f you don,t do this and you cycle power, the control
will remember and issue an alarm. When the A/3 is at home, 6iagnostics 9<!7,

/he pot upIdown on the 245)& with a .! tool magazine is done with a pneumatic
cylinder. /he cylinder is located behind the tool pot which is in the standby
position. :t is mounted vertically. /he pot up limit switch is mounted to
the left of and 8ust above the standby pot position. /he pot down limit
switch is mounted directly behind the tool pot. /he cylinder is controlled by
a two way valve which is located in an enclosure to the left of the magazine.
/he A port of the valve moves the cylinder down, the % port moves it up. /his
valve has a manual override for each port. /here is a regulator in each of
the lines coming from the ports. /hey are located in the enclosure with the
valve. /he overrides are the slotted screw type. /hey are labeled ODD and O+.
:f the slot is horizontal the valve is manually O+. :f the slot is vertical
the valve is controlled by the electrical signal.
/he electrical signal for the A side of the valve is on wires B< and $&.
/he % side is B< and $<. /he voltage is < vdc.
/he magazine is rotated by an electric gear motor. /he magazine is locked with
a pneumatic cylinder. /he cylinder has a roller on the end of the shaft that
rides on a cam plate that is mounted on the drive sprocket. /here is also a
proximity switch mounted two tool pots to the left of the standby pot posit5
ion. :t counts the tool pots by picking up on the pot itself. /here is a
manual switch for rotating the magazine in both directions. /he switches
are mounted on the cover of the enclosure mentioned above. /he switch to the
left is for clockwise rotation while the one to the right is for counter5clock
wise rotation. /he wire numbers for the 3W are 2-3W and <+3. /he numbers for
the 33W button are 2-33W and <+3.
When troubleshooting problems where feedback seems to fail intermittently
can be traced to moisture inside an encoder. :n addition, the moisture can
become a vapor under certain conditions causing reading problems that seem
to occur only when ambient temperatures are high or may take the form of a
problem which occurs and seems to go away after the machine sits for awhile.

between the A/3 and the spindle. :f this door is not fully closed so that the
proxomity switch is made, the spindle and the pumps will not start but no
alarms will be generated.
%ridgeport :nteract <* with 'eidenhain /+3 &!! control;
:f either the F axis or G axis faults, it is possible that when the servos
cut out and before the 0 axis brake can engage, the head can drop a little
causing a -=O## BO#:/:O+:+- @==O= alarm instead of the F or G 6=:4@ DA$1/
alarm. /he way to prevent this is to block the head so it can not drop.
Anytime one of the motors moves without being commanded to do so will gener5
ate the -=O## BO#:/:O+:+- @==O= alarm.
/he AF:# DA$1/ alarm can be either the motor or the servo card. /he drivers
used on this machine are made by %osch. :t is a conventional system which
consists of a chassis with a power supply card and three axis drive cards.
/he axis cards are identical and can be slid in and out of the chassis with5
out removing connectors. /hese cards have the usual potentiometers such as
/ach and Offset ad8ustments. /he motors are 63 with a permanent magnet field.
/hey have encoders attached to the back and a tach. /he motors are made by
#@2. /he type is 2/.!2<5<. /he output from the drive cards go to the main
board of the chassis before going to the motors. At the upper left hand corn5
er of this board there are six wires ?two for each motorA where the output
of the board can be checked. Drom here one of the leads goes through a choke
then to the motor. /here are also three connectors at the bottom of the main
board which correspond to the three drives. these connectors are the tach and
encoder wires. /hese connectors can be unplugged and swapped with one another
for testing.
/he encoders model number for F and G are @=O **&5!!. Dor 0 it is @=O **&5
*&. /he first number ?**&A is the series of encoder. /he second number ?*&
or !!A is the 1ine count.
2achine Barameter ..!.!, ..!.* and ..!. for F,G and 0 tells the control
what the line count is, that is, it works with the ball screw pitch parameter
to measure correctly. :f at some point you have to use a motor with the wrong
encoder line count you can try changing this parameter to make it measure
properly.
/he access code to get into the 2achine Barameters is C&*<7.
On a machine with a 63 motor driven axis, roughness can be caused by either a
commutator problem or grounded armature. /his can cause a loud growling that
sounds a lot like a thrust bearing problem.
On a 'eidenhain /+3&!! control you can check for an :+5BO#:/:O+ problem by
using the 1A- display. Gou have to set parameter *.C! from ! to * in order to
see the true lag, be sure to set it back when you are done. Gou check the
same way you would any other lag display, when moving at a fairly high pro5
grammed feed rate and look for it to level off and remain constant. Also needs
to be the same in both directions of axis travel. When the axis is at rest,
should be as close to zero as possible and not moving around. Another thing
is for any axes that perform linear interpolation together such as F and G to
have the same lag value.
On a 'eidenhain /+3*< the alarm -=O## BO#:/:O+:+- @==O= means that the value
set in machine parameter *9! ?2B*9!A has been exceeded. When setting this
parameter it is recommended to use the value of the 1ag for the axis during
rapid multiplied by *.< but will often be set considerably higher by the O@2.
2B*9! is a bit parameter, *9!.! for first axis, *9!.* for second axis, etc
#ome 'eidenhain controls use Bosition 3oded =eference 2arks on the scales.
/hese allow the machine to know where an axis is by moving 8ust far enough,
usually an inch or two, to find the nearest coded mark. /his is the normal
=eference =eturn procedure for some machines with 'eidenhain controls. When
reference return is commanded the axis will move 8ust a little until it finds
the mark then position itself based on that mark. /his way no battery is
required as in the case of rotary absolute encoders.

the axis. One of the 1@6,s will be on, either O4, O3 or /-. /here is also an

generator. +ormally the alarm .*! #@=4O ODD will be displayed along with the
other alarm. #ervo tuning on these drives is done by ad8usting pots on the
top board. One of these pots, *)4=, sets the trip level for the above alarm.
#etting this pot to the minimum ?fully 33WA will cause the alarm to trip as
soon as the servo power comes on. /he 1@6s are all red.
/- 1@6; 3heck the in5position signal. On the Gasnac 2F control this is done
by going to the position screen and scrolling down to the proper screen.
Also check the power supply voltages at the drive?J&,J*,J*&,5*&,J<A.
All of these voltages are supplied by a single power supply and all can be
ad8usted separately by potentiometers on the front of the power supply.
/he tachogenerator operates off of the & volt power. Gou can monitor the
tacho input to the drive at /-52. /his is the /- 2O+:/O=. /he signal is ref5
erenced to ground. /he output of the tach is 9 vdc per *!!! rpm JI5*&(.
As far as ad8usting pots, you can try turning :+5A6E?4=A one notch counter5
clockwise. Also, try 15-A:+?<4=A. %e careful ad8usting the :+5A6E pot since
it is very sensitive, one notch too far can cause the axis to fault or to
oscillate violently. Oscillation is normally associated with moving the pot
3W. /here is a pot to the right of this pot ?D:+@A which is a fine ad8ustment
for :+5A6E. Also, ad8usting the :+5A6E pot can cause the /- fault to be gener5
ated. :t is important to note that very slight changes in 8ust some of the
potentiometers can cause what looks like serious servo problems. Another
point of interest is that having the 15-A:+ andIor :+5A6E pot out of ad8ust5
ment can cause the .<* ?in the case of the F axisA but if the one of the pots
is moved a little further, the alarm will change to .C* with the /- indicator
coming on. :f you suspect that the pots have been moved it may or may not
help to set them back to their original positions ?paint markA but it,s a
good place to start. What usually works better is to set all of the pots the
same as an axis that is working properly. /his is especially true if you are
working on the F or G axis of a vertical mill because these two axes should
need virtually identical settings. When setting the pots this way, pay atten5
tion to the dial marks of the pot. /here are two dots on one end of the screw
slot, make sure this end of the pot is in the same position as the go5by.
Once you get close, you can use the :+5A6E, D:+@ and 15-A:+ to dial it in.
/he best way to do this is to set the thumbwheel switch to position < ?/@#/A.
When set to this position, go to the BO#:/:O+ page of the 3=/. Heep pressing
the BA-@ 6OW+ button until the @==O= B$1#@ screen is displayed. When you
move the F and G axes at the same feed rate, you should get the same value on
both. :f you don,t, ad8ust :+5A6E andIor D:+@ until you do. /his is partic5
ularly useful when you have an axis that runs fine at &( or &!( rapid but
not at *!!( rapid without generating either alarm .C* or .<* ?for F axisA.
:n most cases if you go to the @==O= B$1#@ screen and set it the same as a
good axis, when you get finished you will usually be in good shape. :nitially
you may have to make the ad8ustments while in &( or &!( rapid. Also, if the
@==O= B$1#@ display of an axis is very far from zero while at rest you can
bring it to zero with the 0@=O pot. Dor vibration or oscillation of an axis
at certain feed rates you can try ad8usting )4= 3.D=O5A6E, this changes the
carrier frequency to avoid noise and roughness caused by resonance.

:f the tachometer leads are reversed the axis will runaway when servo power
comes on.
/he drives, motors and feedback units are all Gaskawa. /he motors are 63.
/he feedback unit consists of an encoder and a tachogenerator. 3omplete loss
of feedback such as the feedback unit being disconnected will cause the axis
to runaway, usually in the positive direction, as soon as servo power comes
on. :f you replace one of the units, you have to orient it the same as the
old one to keep it from over traveling at zero return. /his can be done by
positioning the set screw that holds the optical disk on the same as the old
one. /o access the leads to the tachogenerator, remove the cover on the very
back of the motor by removing the two small screws.

there is no tach in the circuit to tell the drive that the motor has slowed
down. Gou can acheive more gain by using a resistor instead of a 8unper, but
torue will still be lacking. /he resistor shoul be from *!k to *!!k ohms.

:f the O4@=/@2BI@F3@##:4@ =2# :+6:3A/:O+ alarm issues causing the drive to
shut off, you can try working with the =2# A6E$#/2@+/ potentiometer. /his
alarm is normally issued because the output exceeded .! amps for a set period
of time. :t can also be caused by excessive temperature of the heatsinks of
the output transistors. Gou can monitor the output current at E*5B&. /his is
a !5*! vdc signal which is proportional to the output current, *! volts
equals )! amps. /he signal is referenced to chassis ground. Dor this alarm
check the armature for a grounded condition. @xcessive fault current should
cause the -=O$+6 DA$1/ :+6:3A/:O+ fault but sometimes will not.
Dor other questions about this drive call #ervo 6ynamics at 7*759!!57)!!.
On any machine that uses 63 servo motors, if the motor does not have as much
power as it should or if the feedrate has to be reduced to keep the servo
from faulting, check the armature for a grounded condition. :n this case, a
fault current can flow causing the lack of power or faulting.
Also, when working with 63 servo motors keep in mind that the voltage applied
to the motor is not true 63. :t is rectified or pulsating 63. /his means that
there is a frequency component to the voltage, also called carrier frequency.
:n situations where this frequency closely matches the natural vibration of
the machine at certain feedrates andIor at certain locations on the machine,
resonance occurs and can cause excessive noise and vibration. /his can be
ad8usted out if you find the correct potentiometer or parameter. :n the case
of a Danuc control, use the Dilter Barameter, for example. /his condition
explains why a new machine can develop noise and vibration of a particular
axis after a few days or weeks of operation or why a machine may behave this
way after many years. 2echanical conditions change, floors settle, etc.
Of course, the same thing can be observed on an A3 servo system.

On a #trippit #B2&!!, there is a top and bottom carousel for the punches.
/hey are mechanically independent with seperate drive trains but driven by a
common motor and common shaft. /here is a plate at the motor with four posit5
ions. /he motor must stop at one of these positions regardless of which of
the ten tools are called up. A Gamatake 'oneywell proximity witch is used for
detecting this position. /he plate is basically a round piece of sheet metal
with four notches cut the width of the proximity switch C! degrees apart.
When the motor stops, the switch should be positioned in one of these slots.
/he bottom carousel has a flat piece welded to the bottom which is detected
by a proximity switch. /his proximity switch appears to be the home position
for the carousels. @ach carousel also has a shot pin which is driven by a
pneumatic solenoid into an alignment hole for each position. /he top shot pin
drives down into the holes, the bottom one drives up into the holes. @ach
air cylinder has has two proximity switches, one for in and one for out.
#ometimes the carousels will stop in between positions, additionally, they
may not be aligned with one another. /his normally occurs as a result of a
punch getting hung up in the part. One condition which can make this situat5
ion worse is if the two carousels are in tension with one another. /hat is,
if the tension and direction of tension of one of them is acting to pull the
other one. Once the carousels have gotten out of position with one another you
should take the chains loose so you can move them indepently. Bush both shot
pins out of the holes, you may have to turn the air off. 2ove the bottom
carousel so that the dog is aligned with the proximity switch then move the
top carousel to the position which corresponds to this. Bush the shot pins
into the holes. 1oosen the sprocket at the top of the drive shaft. /his is
a taper lock sprocket. =elease the taper enough to allow the sprocket to spin
on the shaft. /his will let the chain center itself while being tightened so
as not to pull the lower chain and put the two in tension with one another.
+ow, with carousels aligned and shot pins in, you can tighten the chains. :t
may be necessary to loosen the tension on the chain from the motor to the
drive shaft but it may not. /he entire drive shaft and motor are mounted on a
large plate bolted to the machine with four bolts. /here are two 8ack screws,
one on the top and one on the bottom. Ad8ust the chains to the proper tension
one at a time making sure that the chain is riding in the sprocket and in the
center of the idlers. Once the plate is tightened back down tighten the top
sprocket. :f you did everything correctly you can pull the shot pins back one
at a time and the carousels will stay in alignment. :f you did not do it all
correctly when you pull a pin back, the carousel will spring back, being
pulled by the chain tension. 1ast but not least make sure the plate is posit5
ioned over the proximity switch at the motor. Gou can loosen the four screws
that hold the plate and move it into alignment. A good thing to do once you
finish is to tighten all of the sprockets then use a permanent marker to put
timing marks on every moving part so that if something ever slips you will
know what moved relative to what.

from there to the F axis, then to the 0 axis. /here is a connector on the 0

convienient place to check the servo power. :f an axis seems to be losing
servo power check these screw on amp connectors. /he servo power in to each

use a typical switching power supply. :t has a power supply mounted against
the back wall behind the controller. #ometimes a machine may start re5booting
on it,s own. /his can be caused by the & volt signal being too low, it needs
to be &.* volts. /here is a potentiometer ?4=*A to ad8ust this voltage. /he
power supply is accessed by removing the two philips head screws on the top
of the controller about halfway back. +ow the entire controller can be lifted
up and pulled out of the way, the bottom screws are in keyhole slots. Gou
will need a small screwdriver. Gou can monitor the voltage either at the test

:f a 63 motor controlled axis moves with a 8erking motion check the tach
feedback. :n addition to this a tach problem can cause a machine to have
trouble finding it,s position, often overshooting or undershooting. #ometimes
this can be compensated for if the drive has a tach ad8ustment. :f a tach
armature has an open winding it may run fine at high rpm but very rough at
low rpm. :f the rpm is reduced to a very slow rate the motor may be seen to
rotate normally through part of the revolution then take off at a high rate
of speed, then slow back down and repeat the cycle. /his is due to the drive
losing the feedback signal during the time that the open winding is in cont5
act with the brushes. /his can be detected by measuring the resistance of the
windings and slowly rotating the motor. :n some cases the tach can be elimin5
ated from the circuit by disconnecting the tach leads from the drive and
either placing a 8umper across two pins, moving a shorting pin, flipping a
6:B switch, etc. to put the drive into open loop control. :f the tach is the
problem the motor will now run smoothly but without tach feedback the gain
will be almost nothing so the motor will have very little torque. Dor general
information on 63 drives you can check file A$/O./F/. 2uch of the information
on #ervo 6ynamics can be used for servo drives in general.

twelve station turret, part number *5<7**5*<. /his turret has a 46: tool
disk. :t looks and operates much like a comparable 6uplomatic turret. :t has
a ! vac electric motor for indexing. :t has a solenoid activated shot pin
which is top mounted much like the 6uplomatic. When the round plate on top of
the turret is removed, there is access to the proximity switches for the shot
pin and the locking. Eust like the 6uplomatic, when this turret indexes one
contactor energizes to rotate the turret. Once in position, this contactor
drops out, the other one energizes momentarily to back the turret up which
allows the shot pin to go in. %efore the turret indexes, the shot pin is up
which means the proximity switch is clear of the flag. /he associated wire
number *! is !vdc and diagnostic bit *9.* > !. /his proximity switch is
mounted to the left horizontally and can be viewed in it,s entirety. Also at
this time the locking proximity switch will be made. :t,s associated wire

ed relay is =.. /his bit should be * at all times except when the turret is
indexing. /he relays for 3W and 33W of the indexing motor are =* and =.
On the machine schematics the shot pin is called "Bre5indexing". When the
turret is at rest the Barity and #trobe bits should be * but the turret will
index if the parity bit is !. /he encoder is like the 6uplomatic in that it
mounts horizontally on the indexing shaft and can be ad8usted by loosening
the two hold down screws and turning the encoder until the diagnostics disp5
lay the correct tool number and Barity and #trobe equal *. When commanded to
index, the brake ?relay =.A should drop out, the appropriate contactor should
energize, the motor rotates to the approximate position, the shot pin goes
down, the motor backs up, the shot pin drops in, the brake turns back on, the
shot pin comes back up. : think the shot pin is relay =<, diagnostic G&.<

/he /os #+9* uses mechanical clutches. %oth the forward and reverse clutches
are mounted on the main shaft. /his shaft is driven directly from the motor.
/he clutches can be located by following the shaft from the driven pulley to
the left. /he forward clutch is the one closest to the pulley. %oth clutches
can be accessed and ad8usted by means of an access cover located on the %A3H
of the headstock. /he access cover has six screws. /his cover can be removed
without draining the headstock but the machine cannot be run with it off due
to the oil pump. When the lever is placed in either forward or reverse a
shifting fork moves a slider which squeezes the plates of the corresponding
clutch together. /he slider is located at the center of the shaft between
the two clutches. /he ad8ustment is very simple. :t is a split nut with a
screw which pulls the two ends together. /he nut is threaded onto the shaft
next to the clutch. /here is a nut for each clutch. /o ad8ust, loosen the
screw and turn the nut, then tighten the screw. /o tighten the clutch turn
the nut as you would to tighten on a right hand thread. :f you get the clutch
too tight the spindle will turn in that direction without being engaged. Also
the lever may not feel right and may not stay engaged.
:f only one clutch is worn or out of ad8ustment the spindle will stall or run
at reduced rpm in one direction but run fine in the other direction.
/he nut should turn very easily when you ad8ust on the clutch. On the @+6 of
the headstock there is a flange with a /5handle bolt in it,s center. /his is
the metal oil filter. :t should be turned from time to time to keep it clean.
Gou can turn it as much as you want. When changing the oil it should be removed
and the buildup removed from it. :f you remove it before the oil is drained
you will have a mess to clean up. /he headstock oil is supposed to be 2obile
6/@ 2edium ?AW<)A but AW. is OH. When the lever is raised the machine runs
in reverse, when it is lowered it runs in forward. /he fill hole for the head5
stock is located on the very top of the headstock.
On the H:A H:/.!A with the Danuc !52ate control if everything works except
the spindle won,t run, check the door switch. /his switch will keep the
spindle from starting but doesn,t stop the spindle once it is running. /he
6iagnostic bit is !.!, the wire number is F!!. :t is fed by wire J<+.
/his switch does not always show up in the hard copy of the ladder where it
should. /here is a rung which ends with the the internal relay coil =).C.!
which has four instructions showing on the hard copy. /he instruction for the
switch should be here but is not.
#ometimes you can turn on the 1adder by changing bit of parameter )!.
#ome of the 1+# bar feeders used on the @cocas have a limit switch on the
track that it moves back and forth on. :f the bar feeder is pushed back and
this switch is not made, the machine is placed in @5#top mode.
:f an axis mispositions by the same amount sometimes try to determine if the
amount it mispositions by is approximately one revolution of the ballscrew.
:f it is try to determine if the axis zero returns in the same place every
time. #ometimes the decel dog of an axis can be set so that occasionally the
encoder will 8ust miss the marker pulse and make a whole revolution to find
it. /his will cause the position to be of by one grid space. /he problem is
normally noticed when a position is commanded by -&< or some other work coor5
dinate. +ormally, when this occurs the axis will over travel every time it
tries to reference return even after the power is cycled. :t will only stop
exceeding the soft limit once BJ3A+3@1 has been performed. /he long term fix
is to move the decel dog away from the zero return point ?normally the minus
directionA a little, only .!&!! or so.

/he W.D. Wells %5&5* horizontal band saw works in the following manner;
As the head moves down through the part the blade will under some circum5
stances be pushed up toward the blade guides ?eight side bearingsA which is
undesirable, particularly because if the kerf of the blade is allowed to run
within the guides for any length of time the blade will lose it,s set. /his
will normally cause the saw to cut out of square from top to bottom. /he saw
is designed to prevent this by using two metering valves, one mounted on each
guide arm. /he valves are connected to the down feed force assembly by two
hydraulic lines on each valve. /hese output of these valves is inversely
proportional to the amount of displacement of the actuator. /he input actuat5
or of each valve is connected a tie rod which connects to a pivot arm on
which the top bearing is mounted. /he top bearing rides on the blade back.
As the blade is pushed up by the material, the metering valves are forced
closed in proportion and, in turn, decrease the rate of downfeed. :f the
valves are properly ad8usted, the downfeed of the head will be stopped compl5
etely before the blade displacement reaches .!&!". /o ad8ust this mechanism,
first ad8ust the top bearings so that they 8ust kiss the blade back with the
sw cutting air. ?:t may be necessary to make this ad8ustment with the blade
actually cutting material at a very low down feed setting, in this case, try
to make the ad8ustment during the first moments of the cutA. /he ad8ustment
is accomplished using the set screw and 8am nut on the pivot arms. +ext,
place the saw in down feed condition, again cutting air. As the head feeds
down, use a screwdriver to raise one of the top bearings off of the blade.
Gou should see the head movement slow down and then eventually stop. A
plunge dial indicator can be very helpful in determining if the head is being
properly controlled by the valves. Ad8ustment is acheived by either increas5
in oe decreasing the length of the tie rods. As previously mentioned, the
two valves work together and generally speaking both top bearings will move
into the material simultaneously so if possible try to raise both bearings
at the same time, you will find that the down feed will more affected this
way rather than raising one at a time. Another thing to keep in mind is that
not only is any ad8ustment of one side linked to the other side but also
ad8ustment of the top bearings will affect the metering valve ad8ustment.
As far as ad8usting the blade guides, they should be set for .!!*" greater
than the thickness of the blade. 2ost blades for this saw are normally either
.!< or .!&!". An easy way to make this ad8ustment is to find a short piece of
a broken blade, put it together with a .!!*" feeler gage, put the two of them
between the blade guides, turn the movable bearings until they close on the
blade and feeler to where you can 8ust get them out, then tighten the nut.
:f the blade tension needs ad8usting there is a metering valve located behind
the blade tension solenoid valve. /his valve is located beneath the electri5
cal cabinet. :t consists of a setscrew on the bottom of the valve.

#ometimes a new chuck will come with a blank draw nut, that is, the draw nut
has not been threaded. :n this case you can re5order the chuck with a thread5
ed nut, thread the nut yourself or in some cases the draw nut on the old
chuck may be interchangeable with the new chuck. /his is particularly true
when the old chuck is a Hitigawa since many chucks are copies of these,
notably the strong chucks.
%e careful when removing and installing a draw nut that you do not lose the
steel ball that rides in the detents of the draw nut, it is very small and
easy to miss.
/he primary difference between A3 servo motors and A3 induction motors is
that servo motors use permanent magnets. /hese magnets allow for precise
positioning but the drawback is that the magnets can be demagnetized or the
magnetic fields can be scrambled. /his normally results in a motor that does
not rotate smoothly, when the motor is turned by hand it will cog, that is,
you will feel notches as it is rotated. When the motor is operated it,s
movement will be rough and 8erked. :t will also pull high current and the
motor will have very little torque. :n most cases you will be able to keep
the motor from turning by holding it by hand. When this happens the motor
can be repaired by re5magnetizing it but requires special equipment. One
company that can do this is @ndeavour /echnologies in 3hicago.
:t is also important to know that this condition can be caused by a bad servo
amplifier so it is not uncommon to find a machine with the symptoms above and
when you replace either the motor or the amplifier, you still have basically
the same problem with the machine until you have replaced both of them.

/he 3lausing 2astiff lathe with the Danuc !/ uses a rolling column matrix
for the operator,s panel ?A*!A. /here are four < volt output transistors and
eight current sink transistors ?all from the Danuc :IO board?A*A A which to5
gether control . 1@6s. :n order for an 1@6 to turn on, both it,s correspond5
ing output transistor ?G addressA and corresponding current sink transistor
must be turned on. /he anode of eight of the 1@6s will be tied, in parallel
with one of the <vdc output transistors while four of the 1@6 cathodes will
be tied, in parallel, with one of the current sinking transistors. @ach 1@6
will have a different Output address ?G addressA which, apparently, when
called by the control will activate both transistors. /he four outputs are
from the :IO board ?A*A, connector 32.*, pins %*. A*. %* A* to the relay

these voltages go first to the top of the card rack and are 8umpered from
there to the boards. :n the case of the <vdc, when it goes to the :IO board
it feeds a bridge rectifier which if it shorts will cause the power supply
to shut down and the 3=/ will be blank. /his power supply can be hard to
troubleshoot because even though a short on one of the outputs will cause the
power supply to shut down, disconnecting the connector to remove the short
will cause the same problem since removing one of the connectors on even a
healthy power supply will cause shutdown.

When looking at angular contact ?thrustA bearings their direction can be det5
ermined by the arrows etched on the side of the outer race if the bearing has
an arrow. +ot all bearing makers place an arrow on the bearing. :n this case
you can find direction based on the fact that the inner race is wide ?fatA on
one side and narrow ?skinnyA on the other side. /he arrow should point to the
fat side. As far as how the bearings are stacked, there are different config5
urations for different loads such as high axial loads, etc.
:f a machine,s control turns off at the end of a program or anytime it reads
either a 2! or 2.!, check to see if the Auto Bower Off function is turned
on. On many machines this is in the form of a push button the operator,s
panel but in the case of a Danuc control, particularly a !56 control, this
can be in the #oftware Operators Banel or take the form of a Heep =elay. On a
2itsubishi control it can be done with a 1atch Barameter.
:f a machine with a double arm A/3 hangs up at the spindle and especially
if the A/3 arm motor trips the overload check the tool grippers. #ometimes
the plungers will get tight and have trouble pushing back far enough to be
able to engage the tool. :n this case you might see the magazine pot move
excessively when the arm engages it.
2ori5#eiki machines, the 245&& in particular, use a number of timers for
seperate events of the A/3 cycle. $nlike most machines, changing things like
hydraulic cylinder speed, switch positions, etc., can have great and unexp5
ected effects. Dor example, on most machines if you suspect that the spindle
unclamp confirmation switch is not being depressed far enough you can move
the dog closer to the switch. 6oing this on a 2ori5#eiki may well prevent the
A/3 cycle from executing at all since the timing is so close.

/he 1e%lond =egal lathes use the #ervo #hift mechanism to change spindle
speeds. /his mechanism is entirely hydraulic with the exception of the pulse
switch located on dial A. /his switched is open and closed anytime the dial is

dial has a shaft which connects it,s center to the #ervo #hift unit in the

%elow 6ial A is a plate held on by six screws. %ehind this plate are two pla5
stic half gears with detents. As the drive gears are shifted these half gears
move, their detents ride on levers, the other ends of which work against a
spring.
:f the #ervo #hift is operated improperly such as turning 6ial A when 6ial %
is in the %=AH@ position it can result in a condition in which the gears
shift as soon as 6ial A is moved off of the current speed before it reaches
the next =B2 setting. When the machine is run and then 6ial % is turned back
to the %=AH@ position, the spindle may start to oscillate in an effort to
shift to the next speed. :n some cases this may not occur immediately but
instead it may happen as a result of the vibration of putting a part in the
chuck, etc.
On a machining center if there is a popping sound when the tool is removed
from the spindle it could be that the collet is not releasing all the way but
another cause is if the tool clean ?air blastA is leaking through which will
cause air pressure to build up behind the tool so that when it is released
the air shoots it out causing the noise.
On a Hiwa horizontal if you get alarms !&! and *!.!, etc. when you call a

2achines that use a built5in ?integratedA spindle do not have a pulse coder

which are used to ad8ust the signal strength for BA and B%. :f a machine like
this exhibits a condition where the spindle oscillates and makes a high pitch
noise, this B3% probably needs to be ad8usted. /ypically, the signals BA and

:f the Auto cycle will not execute on this machine, check that the limit
switch for shuttle vise forward is made, if not the cycle will not continue.
:n some cases the sequencer can become confused causing the :+6@F L display
to reset itself to !. /his will, of course, cause the Auto cycle to stop
because the saw needs to make at least one index to execute the cut. #ome5
times this can be resolved by simply accessing and scrolling through the
parameters. /he condition may occur as a result of switching the 2ode select
switch directly from 2A+$A1 to A$/O without stopping at the +@$/=A1 position,
according to 'yd52ech you should always stop at +@$/=A1 for a second.
:n Auto mode the machine should execute the cycle with or without the blade
running with the exception that the head will not come down.
:n Auto mode 3=*! should be energized and 3=** should be de5energized. :n
2anual mode 3=** should be energized and 3= *! should be de5energized. :n

/he #5. with a sequencer like the #5! uses a limit switch to position the
shuttle vise for the proper length, this is the top left limit switch and has
a vernier dial ?micrometerA for fine ad8ustment. /he bottom left switch is
the approach switch and it is placed ahead ?in terms of travelA of the top
switch. When the shuttle contacts this switch the feed rate slows to allow
more precise positioning. /he limit switch on the right is used only for

/he % axis for the H+'5<!! has two proximity switches that confirm the state

%oth switches are two5wire devices, their source is wire 'B. /hese switches
are actuated by a piston in the base of the % axis. :t is accessed by remov5
ing the eight screws and cover located on the A/3 side of the % axis. /he
piston is held on by two bolts and is easily removed once the cover is out of
the way. /he piston is pushed out by hydraulic pressure when the axis is
unclamped and is returned to it,s original position by a spring. A dog is
attached to the piston by a collar and set screw and moves over the face of
the proximity switches. With the two bolts removed, the piston and spring can
be removed as an assembly. :t is not uncommon for the piston shaft to become
worn and start to stick due to lateral motion of the shaft. +ormally when
this occurs the piston will move out under the hydraulic pressure but the
spring is not strong enough to pull it back so the axis thinks it is unclamp5
ed all of the time.

When reloading the parameters you need to be aware that +)& is for the Option5
al Deatures ?option parametersA. /his parameter appears as a single zero ?!A
when viewed normally, but when viewed with the thumbwheel switch in position
&, it appears as an eight bit binary number. /he Optional Deatures are set in
groups of 7. /he groups appear as )&F,)&G,)&0,)&A,)&:,)&E,)&H,)&=. /hese
values are altered by typing the letter of the group ?i.e., F, 0, E, etc.A.
/he eight bits of each group are designated 6!569 corresponding to bits !59.
On some machines, the keypad may not have the letter A so you must use the
number < to access group )&A. Also, if you press a key that does not repres5
ent a valid group ?#, /, -, etc.A, the parameter +)& will disappear from the
machine. Bressing a valid letter such as F or E will cause +)& to reappear.
=eloading the parameters is a simple matter of typing in the value that you
want the parameter to be and pressing the Write ?W=A button. 2ake sure that
you select the correct letter designation first. Dor example, to change the
value of parameter 9*G you would use the Bage $pI6own and the 1ine $pI6own
buttons to get to parameter 9*, then type in the letter G. +ow the value that
you enter will affect 9*G but not 9*F, 9*0, etc.
Barameter )& is different. #ince these are option parameters, there is an
additional step. Once you have paged to parameter )& and selected F, G, etc.
you must press the :nsert ?:+#A button. this will place an asterisk under
the first bit ?69A. +ow type in the eight bits from left to right ?95!A then
press the write ?W=A button. +ow you 2$#/ press the =@#@/ button for the
parameter to become effective. After performing this procedure, cycle
the power all the way back to the breaker.
:n some cases you may need to clear the program storage area again in order
to load the programs.

Dor a twelve lead A3 motor there are six windings with two leads for each set. /he numbering for the
sets is typically;
$*5F*
$5F
4*5G*
45G
W*50*
W50
/he resistance of each winding is normally in the range of * ohm. When the motor is wired for 6@1/A
?low voltageA operation there are essentially three sets of two windings with the two windings of each
set in series. $sing the numbering above, this is accomplished by connecting the leads as follows;
$* to 0
F* to $
F to 4*
G* to 4
G to W*
0* to W
/he three phase voltage would be connected this way;
1* to $*, 0
1 to F, 4*
1. to G, W*
Dor WG@ operation, connect the leads as follows;
F* to $
G* to 4
0* to W
F to G to 0
/he three phase voltage for WG@ operation is connected;
1* to $*
1 to 4*
1. to W*
/his connection places four windings in series with respect to any two phases.
=egardless of how the windings are numbered, you can wire the motor by ringing out the leads to find
individual windings and wiring accordingly.
Another thing to be aware of is that the wire numbering using alpha numeric such as $*, 4*, W*, F,
G and 0 is :@3 nomenclature while numbering that uses numbers only such as *,,.,< etc., is +@2A
nomenclature.

A3 :nverter model )*)-.;
:f Ov ?over voltageA alarm occurs, the deceleration time is probably too
short. :f a braking resistor is installed, the resistor may have opened.
:f a braking resistor is not installed, adding one may solve the over voltage
problem. /his should be wired into the %*J and %*5 terminals to bleed off the
excess current in the 63 buss. Another thing that may prove helpful is to
ad8ust the # curve to decrease the linearity of the ramp. :n some cases the
motor that the inverter is driving can overdrive the inverter on decel which
causes the Ov fault. #pecifically, on the )%4# the belts can be worn or
loose in which case there is not enough load or drag and if the velocity of
the motor is relatively great when decel is attempted the counter @2D will
exceed the limit of the 63 buss.
Also check Barameter +!. 2otor HW to be sure it is set high enough for the
size of the motor. Another thing to check for is the A3 voltage parameters.
:f the incoming A3 is ! volts 4mtr, +!!., and +!** should be !.
On some inverter models the Dault outputs?D1/ A, D1/ %A are programmable.
/hey can be made to open or close their contacts for conditions other than
inverter faults ?On #tart5up, $p to #peed, 0ero #peed, etc.A by changing
parameters. :n most cases, the associated parameters will be +!.),+!.9,and
+!.7. :f changing these values does not provide the desired results then
consult with 2iles at Gaskawa.
:f constant n!*! is set improperly, you will not be able to change constants
**5*7. On most units it is set to D, but this pattern will not work for all
applications and you will have to select another or build one yourself.

/he )*)B3& has a design defect in that the control card made by #aftronics
exhibits erratic behavior at frequencies between *<.& and *)!.* 'z. /his
is caused by an older version of software which contains a program error.

/he @#.!!! with a 'eidenhain control, as with most 'eidenhain controlled @62s
uses the following procedure for operation. After power5up;
*.Bress 3@.
.Bress the #ine Wave ?#ymbolA button to turn on generator power.
..'ome all axes by pressing #tart once for each axis.
<.Bress the B-2 =$+ button. ?/his is usually a symbol pointing to the rightA
&.Bress -O/O.
).Bress !.
9.Bress @+/.
7.Bress #/A=/.
/his will take you to the beginning of the program and begin the discharge.
On the @#.!!! there are four contactors which select the polarity. /wo of
these select positive polarity and the other two select negative polarity.
One of the polarities must be selected which means any time you are trying to
burn two of these contactors must be pulled in. :f not the generator power
will shut off when discharge is attempted. /he green 1@6 on the 63C.<. board
comes on when the polarity is selected. /here are six contactors at the
bottom of the electrical cabinet. /he four on the left are the polarity
contactors. When the first and third from the left are pulled in, =everse
polarity is selected. When the second and fourth are selected, +ormal
polarity is selected. /he fifth contactor is the 6ielectric Bump, the sixth
is -enerator Bower.
:f the machine will not release from the @5#/OB condition and the button is
not depressed, check for an axis over travel. /he axis limits are tied between
F* pin .< and F Bin <. Gou can eliminate a machine problem by removing
these connectors and connecting a 8umper between the two pins. /hese
connectors go to the :nterface %oard /+3.!) on connector 3+). F* Bin .<
goes to the *<th pin from the top on the front row of pins on 3+).
F Bin < goes to the *th from the top on the same row. /he @5#top button is
tied to pins * and of 3+* on the /+3.!).
/he /+3.!) control is for use on @62 machines. /he /+3.)! is for mills.
:f the %$DD@= %A//@=G alarm is issued, you need to replace the three AA
batteries. /hey are located in a black plastic tube in the gold colored
chassis. On the @#.!!! this chassis is behind the Operator,s Banel.
'eidenhain recommends 6uracell batteries because of the physical style.
:f you have trouble with an @62 machine that it won,t move down when dis5
charging. /he generator comes on but the ram does not move. 2ake sure it is
off of the travel limit switch. :f it is off of the switch, try replacing
one or both of the small B3% boards ?O#3A.
On the )%4# machines that : interfaced with the #W: A-@. controls, : removed
all of the power leads going to the two motor contactors ?DW6I=@4A. : did not
mess with the auxiliary contacts. : used one normally open contact from each
contactor and tied them in parallel so that any time either one is pulled in
the spindle inverter is enabled. When the control stops the spindle for a
tool change, etc., the contactors drop out disabling the inverter. : also
removed the motor leads from the overload relay. One of the two wires from
the normally open contacts is tied to my forward and reverse contactors in
the electrical cabinet to their common terminal. /he other wire is tied to
L* in the cabinet, feeding the common.
+ormally when powering up the @#5.!!! with the 'eidenhain /+3.!)@ and start5
ing to run, the sequence is;
*./urn the breaker on.
./he first screen is BOW@= :+/@==$B/@6.
..Bress the 3@ button.
<.+ext screen is =@1AG @F/. 63 4O1/A-@ 2:##:+-.
&.Bress the #ine Wave button on the =emote Operator twice.
Gou should hear the contactors energize. Gou should wait a second or two
after the first push before pushing again. :f not you may get the @mergency
#top message.

9.Bress the #/A=/ button on the =emote Operator.
/he 0 axis will reference.

Bress it again.
/he 0 axis will reference.
/here are no reference switches, the axes 8ust move a pre5determined dist5
ance in a pre5determined direction. While each axes is moving, there will
be an asterisk displayed below A3/1. /his indicates that the axes is not
in position which is, of course, normal while moving. :f after an axis
stops, the asterisk does not turn off the axis has excessive offset. /his
is the same as the :n5Bosition signal on other controls. :n this case you
must remove the asterisk. /his is done by either making an ad8ustment on
the servo driver or in some cases replacing it. /he older style servo
drivers only have one pot to ad8ust. /his will normally remove the offset
but you need to check the 1ag. /his pot has limited use in this so if the
1ag is excessive you usually have to replace the driver. /he newer ones
have more pots to work with. 3heck the 1ag by going to the 1ag display as
explained below. :f an axis does not stop in5position, the asterisk is on,
the control will not transition to the next screen and will not operate
properly.

At this point the machine is ready to be operated in 2anual 2ode.
/he 1ag value differs between axes and at different feed rates but generally
should not exceed about 9!!. +ormally, if the 1ag is too high, the axis will
move with a rough or 8erked motion. Also you will notice that after releasing
the Eog button, the axis continues to move an abnormally long time.
:n order to ad8ust 1ag you need to access the 1ag 6isplay screen. /his is one
of the position screens. /o do this;
*.Bress the 2O6 button ?Dor Auxiliary 2odeA.
.Bress either the $p Arrow or 6own Arrow key until BO#:/:O+ 6:#B1AG is
shown at the top of the screen.
..Bress the @+/ button until the 1ag screen is displayed.
<.Bress the @+6 button to exit the Auxiliary 2ode.
When troubleshooting an axis problem on a /+3 .!), a useful tool is the
ability to swap the allocation of the encoder inputs in the B13. /his is done
with 2achine Barameter 2B **!. On a four axis machine the parameter is norm5
ally set this way;
2B **!.! !
2B **!.* *
2B **!.
2B **!.. .
/his configuration assigns the F axis to connector F* of the Brocessor board,
the G axis to F, the 0 axis to F. and the fourth axis to F<. :f you swap
the F axis cable from port F* to F and the G axis cable from F to F*, for
example, you must change the parameter to;
2B **!.! *
2B **!.* !
2B **!.
2B **!.. .
:f the problem still exists on the F axis the culprit is probably the scale
or encoder or their cable. All of this is aimed at troubleshooting mainly
feedback of positioning problems. /he idea here is to eliminate the B13 as
the problem.
When troubleshooting an F,G or 0 axis 2@A#$=:+- #G#/@2 6@D@3/ alarm, a good
place to start is the scanning unit. Gou will almost certainly find that the
cause of this problem to be in the scale or it,s cable.
/he #ervice 2anual for the /+3 .!)I.)! is useful in working on other
'eidenhain controls because the parameter section also list parameters for
other controls such as /+3&!!, /+3.< and /+3.&&.

'eidenhain calls the reader heads of it,s scales, scanning units. :n the case
of the 1# )!., these are optical devices. /hey can be replaced without the
cable. =emove the four screws on the front of the unit. :nside there is an
Amp connector. $nplug this connector and remove the unit from the body.
When ordering a new scanning unit, you will need the :6 number. /his number
is on the unit, it looks like;
:d.+r. <CC9& for example.
Another important number is the 21 number, this is the measuring length. /his
number is typically in millimeters ?i.e., 21*9<!mmA.

/he )%4# with the 6ynapath control has four wires to the motor aside from the
motor leads. /he two yellow wires go to terminals A2 and A3 on the D9 inver5
ter. /hese wires are for the brake, the parameter that controls this multi5
function output should be set so that it monitors the output frequency. /he
two blue wires go to the motor fan. /he parameter for this multi5function
output should be set to close when the motor is running.
:n order for the brake to work properly on this machine, the parameter %*5!.
must be set to * so that the motor will coast to a stop. :f you try to decel
the motor and use the brake, at higher =B2 the brake will come on while the
motor is still decelerating, cut off, then the motor will start running
again until brought to a stop under normal decel. :f you try to reduce the
decel time enough for the brake to come on at the end of the decel curve, the
drive will fault due to 63 buss over voltage.
