Need Help!- Fanuc 10T 1985 Hitec-turn 25 lathe

[dave400]

Hey guys.
I have a Fanuc 10T 1985 Hitec-turn 25 lathe. The machine sucks down way oil like crazy! Every day The machine goes through an entire fill up of way oil. Most machines I have been on will go a week or 2 without needing to fill up. Can I slow down the interval of the motor pumping way oil? Is there a parameter I can change or do I have to put some type of a switch and manually control the lube motor?
Thanx for your help.
Dave

I am not sure what number it is but go into the PMC with the PMC/CNC hard key and select the “timers” softkey.

After you select PC/NC hard key to get to the PMC side, press the PCDGN soft key. Press the TIMER soft key to display the table of programmable timers. The best way to find out which timer would apply to the pump interval would be to either look in the ladder by pressing PCLAD (instead of PCDGN) and scrolling downward. Hopefully they showed mercy and put symbols and comments in the ladder so you can identify which is the lube timer. Also, sometimes they may stick it in the electrical prints or you may get lucky and find a printout of the ladder and locate it there.
