2-6 Recovering Rack Magazine Operation
If the rack magazine stops part way through, follow the procedure below to recover the magazine
operation (tool transfer axis, sensor axis).
Check that the JOG or HND/STEP mode is selected on the touch panel, and perform a recovery
operation first using STEP feed operation. After the completion of the recovery operation, the
"AXIS HP" (magazine X-/Y-axes in the operation enabled range) lights on the screen.
If the tool transport device is holding a tool, display the POT INDEXING screen for the rack
magazine and execute the SINGLE POT INDEX operation. After that, display the MANUAL
OPERATION screen for the rack magazine, and carry out the recovery procedure.
CAUTION
After recovering the rack magazine operation, always check the tool data of the tool in
the spindle and the standby tool on the TOOL REGISTRATION screen. If the tool data
on the screen does not agree with the actual tools, the tool could fall or strike the
workpiece or other trouble could occur.
Note in particular that if the screen displays "no standby tool" although there is a
standby tool present, the tool will fall.
<Recovery operation using STEP feed operation (tool transfer axis)>
If the tool transfer axis motion fails part way through, recover the operation using a STEP feed
operation.
When using JOG feed operation for the recovery operation, set the feedrate override at
NOTE
the lowest setting.
After the completion of the recovery operation, the "AXIS HP" (magazine X/Y-axes in the operation
enabled range) lights on the screen.
Usually, the axes enter the operation enabled range when the X-axis is moved to the center
between the magazine columns.
1) Display the main menu screen on the touch panel.
2) Display the HANDLE/STEP FEED screen.
Press the [MANUAL OPERATION] (F3) and
[HANDLE/STEP FEED] (F4) soft-keys in this order.
3) Check that the coordinate value changes in
response to one-pulse input. Then, select a larger
magnification ratio with the axis feed amount
selection switch and feed the X-axis.
The X-axis has reached the operation recovery
position when the "AXIS HP" (magazine X/Y-axes in
the operation enabled range) lights on the screen.
4) Display the MANUAL OPERATION screen and
carry out the remaining steps necessary for the
recovery operation.
P-33
NOTE
1. If a pot indexing operation is necessary,
specify the pot indexing data and execute
"MAGAZINE SINGLE OPERATION".
2. The magazine door cannot be opened in the
STEP mode (pulse handle mode).
3. JOG feed operation can be used for a
recovery operation in which long axis
movements are made. In such a case, set
