Need help finding the parameters to change the oil lube time off and on.
Any help is appreciated

This should be in the timers on your PMC side. I don't know what timer it is but that is were I would start looking.

Why would you want to change lube times anyways?

I ass u me that it is either lubing to fast or not enough.

I have had to do this a few times before as well. One of my previous VMC’s would burn thru a whole 3quarts in 4hrs. Then another VTL would only need filling every month. Somehow the timers got a bit mugged up.

Ya my problem exactly not enough lube, it turns on within the first 3 mins after start up then never again.
1- i've checked fuses relays all good
2- i've tried running a program and nadda
3- cracked lines and left for lunch zippo
4- the best is staring at it for like a 1/2 hr nuthing
5- the rubber lines that are right off the pump i did the "flick" test ( create air bubble and watch to see if it moves in a day ) uhm ya got zilch
this machine has never had a PM done on it in 3 yrs
the machine in question is FTC-20 Feeler (old slant)
the ball screw has some discolouration on like brown varnish inside races , no lube on ways,
but i know the lube pump works i have seen it run and watched the plc turn it on then shut it off ( via the led lights on the board with the relay)
so now i want to check times

[Northernogar]

so i have tried to get into the pmc and not even on the option menu?
any ideas?

Just making sure. A LOT of people assume because it's oiling too much that they should turn down timers. That condition is always a broken line or stuck manifold. It's for sure a PMC parameter, but the proper parameter would be a timer set up by the machine builder. Not sure if you have the PC/PMC button on yours, or a aux button. Some you need to go to paramters then a PMC softkey will show up.
