Ikegai FX25n spindle range shift - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Dee Bee · #1 07-04-2007, 11:02 AM

Does anyone know the M code to get the high-low clutch on a FX25 to change? I can get it to change using the manual controls but not in a program. A 1500 rpm speed will stay in high when given a 200 rpm command. The spindle will slow down to the commanded speed but, will stay in high range. I need a shift for the torque. I'm thinking an M code for the range shift? The control is a Fanuc 5T Thanks db

Probably m41 low gear
m42 high gear

Can`t help with the Ikegai but I have a couple of machines that use M90-M91.
There is a guy called radius over on the PM forum who just got a FX20 which I don`t think has a gearbox but his manual might list all the machine builders M codes and each builder usually sticks to the same codes across his range.
