Incorrect Operation
If system positioning does not seem to be repeatable, the problem could be with
the machine tool or with the readout system.
• Check the machine tool.
Check that the saddle is not locked. Ensure that the
turret-to-column bolts are properly secured. Check the gib adjustments. Check
spindle run-out.
• Check linear encoders.
Check each encoder and reading head for proper
installation. Ensure that the mounting brackets are secure.
If the system seems to be displaying incorrect positions, check the following items.
• Verify presets.
Make sure the numbers you enter are correct.
• Verify tool.
Check that the correct tool number is being used. Make sure the
correct tool offset has been entered. Check the tool for wear.
• Verify the scale factor.
Ensure that the correct scale factor is being used.
• Verify linear error compensation.
Make sure that the factors used for linear
error compensation are correct.
Power-On Self Test
There are four tests performed when power is applied to the readout. You will not
notice these tests unless a problem is found, in which case a message will scroll
across the display.
Keypad—a key was detected stuck down. The message will display what row (x)
and column (y) the stuck key is in:
KEY STUCK – RxCy – PRESS CLEAR
Parameter memory—some of the system setup parameters are not valid. You
may be able to check and reset these settings, but it’s possible they will be lost
again. The readout should be serviced as soon as possible.
