Convert Makino A55 Delta from rail to stand alone.
My Buddy recently bought a Makino A55 Delta from a company that used it on a rail system. It's from the late 90s to early 2000s and has a Pro 3 controller. I am trying to help him convert it to a stand alone. Has anybody here ever done this? I was thinking that all we would have to do is add a control box to tell the machine that the pallet is ready to send in. When we try and do a pallet change (M60) we get an alarm that says "Cannot change pallet because work carrier is not standby". Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi. Try turn the parameter 1400 titled as "type of pallet Changer" To 2 and The second parameter should be 1 i cannot remember the name of it ???? the are found at pro 3 controller parameters, Not in fanuc ones,

did you ever get your answer to your question? we have makino a55 on a cell and weather we have the cell control on or not we can load a pallet in and out of the machine.
