Is anyone here familiar with this old control? If so, I could use some help.
I am having problems with the machine losing home position. This is a 4 axis lathe with a TS. Any time you move a turret to change an insert the machine loses zero position. If the turret is bumped off .100" and you start the cycle than everything is off .100" Basiclly we have to home the machine out every time we index a insert which is time consuming to clamp and unclamp the TS to zero everything out. I have tried using the G28 and G50 for the second zero. The machine does not read the G28. I am wondering what else I could do??
