Need Help!- Toyoda FA450 15M

[wmpy]

Anyone that may be able to help, We purchased a 1995 FA450 in August that had been sitting, disconnected from power for a long period of time and lost all memory and parameters. We removed all the covers from the machine when it arrived with the intention of a good cleaning and review of all functions before replacing covers to make any repairs easier. The machine appears to be in above average condition but we have not been able to get the machine fully functional. In September we had a Fanuc technician come out, he was able to reload 15m control parameters and make it possible to jog all axes of the machine. The Spindle, pallet change, pallet index, tool change, tool magazine are still not functioning. We were told by an independent technician that we need the Toyoda software. We contacted Toyoda USA in Arlington Heights, IL about obtaining the software but after numerous calls and emails over a one month period they were unable to help. We decided that having a Toyoda technician would be the next step. Our service request was sent about a month ago, they have not come out, told us when they can come out and are not responding to emails.
Were looking for independant service, or anyone with a similar FA450, or any info or knowledge that will point us in the right direction, because we are stuck.

Thanks, West Machine Products

Have you solved the issue with lost parameters or are you still stumped? We have a '97 FA450

Thanks for the response. We have gotten all our parameter/software issues taken care of, but we're still putting the machine back together. Where are you located? It would be nice to stay in touch in case any other issues arrive.

Hi!

I have similar problem with my Toyoda FHN 50 II with FANUC 6MB. When I turn on the machine it works about half an hour and then after changing the pallet I have to push button to continue. After pushing machine doesnt work. Something stuck. All M-functions doenst work at MDI. S-function works and movement are avaible at manual mode. Homing also works. After turn off/on the machine the problem is still with m-function. For example when I input S200 M3, I heard that gears change, then ready to start spindle but nothing happened. Can anyone solve problem like this?
