Hi All,
A I am sure this knowledge is out there. Apologies in advance, this is my first CNC lathe, just purchased. I have seen a couple of explanations based on other Hitachi controls with similar issues but different controls.
5105 - Power Off During Turret Index - See Operation Manual 6-1 ///
The turret appears to be sitting on Station 1. It will not index when I press the turret key (key light comes on) and/or adjacent select key. When I hit the turret index button I hear a pump or motor kick on but the turret does not budge. Once I try to index it the the standby light goes out and the axes & spindle will no longer jog, the machine appears stuck and the condition will not reset with the sheet key. If I turn the machine off then on again I can jog everything as before. I tried the 3-handed 4-button push correction procedure in the manual in Section 6 page 6-59 recommended several places but it is confusing as some buttons are misnamed in the manual. I think I am just not getting it right.
There are 3 different 'Select' keys and I am not sure how to select a feed mode per instructions as i don't see a feed mode key. I tried every 'select' button combination but nada. Turret won't index within this process, it just sits on station one, which is where it belongs? I should try this again with 'a feed mode' selected (which key?) but I am not sure how to do that.
If anyone could give me a clear step by step explanation it would be most appreciated.
TIA,
Bill
