Hi
I have very recently aquired a 1996 EX8 die sinker which has worked fine.
I now have a error code and can not use the machine U709 maching lock
Any body now how to resolve this one ?
when I start a program it fills with fluid then i hear it try to 'click' in to start then it throws the error
Any help is appreciated
thanks

The book simply says : A machining interlock was detected - contact service engineer


Do you have any doors/covers open? if not, then sounds serious

U709 Usually happens when you either crash the machine, or the toolchanger. most of the time if you power down the machine, including the main breaker and restart after waiting about a minute - you should be able to move the machine again. If the U709 keeps coming up, something is still interfering with one of the axes which keeps triggering it.

Hope it helps!
