We have a MV45 with a MX1 control, we had some power supply problems a year back.
The machine would just randomly shut off a certain times, like the middle of a tool change for instance.
So we actually got pretty good at tool changer recovery.
When we had problems, we would manually cycle the tool changer solenoids to get the tool changer and pot to all of its home positions.
On our machine there is a decal with the solenoid functions right inside the hyd pump access door.
We would then go into the diagnostics page and renumber all of the tool pots and the tool in the spindle.
This information came directly from a very smart Mori tech.
He said that a lot of the older Moris would loose track of a tool if there was some type of disruption during a tool change.
The control may think that there is actually 3 tools numbered 15 for instance, 1 in the spindle 1 in the tool changer and 1 in the tool carosel.
This may confuse the control enough to lock it up and not allow MDI comands.
If you think this is the case get a hold of either Mori or myself to get some more information on this procedure.
Just remember man built it man can fix it.  |
