| spindle orientation problem I have a Bridgeport VMC 760 22 with a DX 32 control Siemens drives This morning I homed it and loaded a program and when it loaded tool #1 a shell mill the drive dog was about a 1/4 " off and the tool was completely cocked in the spindle. I stopped the program and I removed the tool and inserted it properly. It then worked for a couple of tool changes then I got an alarm saying a switch is out of phase. After playing with it here is what I found 1] It will do a tool change without a tool 2] with a tool it gives an alarm 3] the spindle orientation is off 5 or so degrees The alarm happens when the tool changer comes in and hits the plastic drive dog in the carousel, it appears the spindle orientation moved some how and it is not allowing the carousel to travel the last 1/2 inch of the travel and that is throwing up the alarm code. That is my best guess, Is there a way to adjust the spindle orientation ? I pulled off the cover and looked for the little magnet and sensor like on my Kitamura but all I see is the tack for the spindle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

| I went into the tool change page entered password and then it let me orient the spindle and save the setting. It seems to be back on track for the moment. |
