2.10.1 Phase Converters
For those machines that will be run with a phase converter it must be a rotary type rather than a static phase converter. Rotary phase converters allow for varying loads in the system. The electrical load on the machine will vary based on the type of cut taken and the speed of the motor. Static phase converters can only be used on machines with a non-varying load.
2.11 Mounting the Display Pendant
The 1630 pendant is fixed to a L bracket. The L bracket is attached to a 2nd bracket that comes mounted to the top of the chip enclosure.
Make the 6 cable connections to the left side of the pendant and cover these cables with the cable cover provided with the machine.

2.12 Cable Interconnections
All cable interconnections are made at the factory except for those connecting to the pendant display. There are a total of 6 cables that need to be connected to the pendant. See Figure 6 for pendant cable connections.
With the main 415 volt power to the machine turned off plug in the connectors that are bundled on the side of the machine. Each cable fits to only one connector on the pendant display, on the left side of the pendant. Use the key on the pendant to match up the connectors with the correct port. The machine ID key and option keys should be plugged into the port labeled as such. The test port and X and Y handwheel ports will be left empty during installation. If the customers sets this machine up on a network, this cable will also need to be plugged in.
Make sure the machine ID key is plugged in, otherwise the machine will not run. Also make sure there is a hardware (option) key plugged into the parallel port of the pendant. This key activates any converters or options ordered. The key must be programmed according to the type of machine it is on and the options ordered.
CAUTION!
Make sure the main 415-volt power switch is disconnected on the back of the electrical cabinet
before plugging in the cables.

the spindle immediately and call for service. Failure to do so may ruin the spindle bearings.
2.13.2 Automatic Way Lubrication Pump
The 1630 auto lube system provides centralized automatic lubrication for the carriage, cross slide and ballscrews. The lube pump has a 2-liter reservoir filled with S.A.E. 30-weight oil.
CAUTION!
Oil that is too heavy and viscous such as 50W or 90W oil can clog oil line tubing. Do not mix detergent
type automotive or multi-purpose oils with the S.A.E. No. 30 lubricating oil used in this application.
The lube pump has electronic memory, which acts as an internal clock to keep track of the running time of the axis motor. Even when the axis motors are turned off, the lube pumps internal clock will not reset. The interval between pump cycles is based on axis motor movement time. Also, every time the control is first turned on, the lube pump will run for 1 lube cycle as soon as the axis motors are commanded to run.
2.13.3 Lube Pump Operation
The pumping output can be regulated electronically to control the Interval Time between pumping cycles, and the Discharge Time of each pumping cycle. The pump can also be run manually through a key found under service codes. The following describes the steps used to program the lube pumps Interval and Discharge times.
Setting Interval Time: Service Code 301
Press "Mode", "Set up", "Service Codes", "E" (Lube Pump Setup), Code 301, and then enter the desired Interval time in minutes.
Setting Discharge Time: Service Code 302
Press "Mode", "Set up", "Service Codes", "E" (Lube Pump Setup), Code 302, and then enter the desired Discharge time in seconds.
To Manually Pump Oil: Service Code 300
Press "Mode", "Set up", "Service Codes", press "E", and then press Code 300 (Lubrication Pump Switch). The pump will pump oil for the amount of time programmed in Code 302. The spindle does not need to be turned on.
2.13.4 Factory Default Values
Interval Time - 20 min Discharge Time - 15 sec Discharge Pressure - Approximately 690 – 1034 kPa (100-150 PSI)
To adjust the amount of Discharge Pressure displayed on the lube pump gauge, loosen the jam nut and turn the adjustment screw located on the top right side of the lube pump while the lube pump is activated. To activate the lube pump use Service Code 300.
CAUTION!
Failure to properly lubricate the lathe will result in the premature failure of ball screws
and sliding surfaces.

If calibration factors are being saved, but the measurements are not repeating or are not accurate:
See Measurements Are Not Repeating See Measurements Are Not Accurate
3.3.11 E-Stop Error
The E-Stop turns the power off to the axis and spindle motors. The 1630 has an e­stop on the front of the pendant and a green E-stop reset button on the side of the pendant. (See figures 6 & 8)
For the axis motors this is done by stopping 110V power from reaching
the cable breakout box through the use of a relay in the pendant. The AC E-stop out connector on the pendant should not have 110 volts coming out of it when the E-stop is pressed.
The AC drive power is turned off by a contact relay (K1), located on the
power module. The contact relay (K1) is turned off by the dual channel relay (safety relay), which is controlled by the E-stop on the pendant.
The E-stop LED on the spindle control module will be on when the e-stop
is in the out position. The LED will turn off when the E-stop is depressed. (See figure 11)
Once power reaches the cable breakout box it distributes power to the
axis motors, auxiliary functions. If power does not reach the cable breakout box then none of these functions will work.
If the E-Stop button is depressed, and no message is displayed on the screen, then either the E-Stop button, pendant, spindle control module, cables from pendant to spindle control module, or cables from spindle control module to dual channel relay (safety relay) is at fault.
Possible Cause
Check This
E-Stop reset button
Press the E-Stop reset button on the side of the pendant.
Faulty E-Stop switch
Check the cable connections from the computer module to the E-Stop switch. Check the E-Stop switch for functionality.
Bad pendant
Does 110 V power come out of the cable breakout box power cord on the pendant? If yes and the screen has an E-stop message then replace the pendant.
Poor cable connection
Check spindle control cable connection at the pendant and spindle control box.
E-Stop jumper
Verify the E-Stop jumper in the electrical box on the spindle control module is correct.
3.4 Problem with the Measurements
3.4.1 X and Z-Axis Measurements Do Not Repeat
With a dial indicator mounted to the bottom of the spindle, touch off a fixed surface either in the X or Z-axis direction and then set the DRO equal to 0. Crank away several inches and then touch off again at the same place. If the reading has not returned to 0 on the DRO, zero the display and repeat the procedure. If the measurement does not repeat, you have a repeatability problem that must be resolved.

XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
Test for accumulative error by moving the axis a number of times to see if the error gradually grows by a small amount. If the error abruptly changes by a large amount it may be caused by a bad encoder.
Expected repeatability numbers should be 0.01 mm or less.
Possible Cause
Check This
Machine Tool & Setup problem
Check for any looseness in the setup. See Machine Tool & Setup Section 4.1.
X and Z-axis Gibs are loose
Check the adjustment of the X-axis Gib using the X-axis Gib adjustment procedures. See section 5.2.1.
X and Z-axis Drive Trains are loose
Check Repeatability using the Repeatability and Positional Accuracy procedure. Step by step, carefully inspect the Drive Train for any looseness. It may be necessary to disassemble and then reassemble the Drive Train. See Mechanical Drive Train (X, Z) Section 4.2.
Encoder Disk or Reader Head on motor are loose
Swap the motor in question with a known good motor. For example, swap the X-axis motor with the Z-axis motor. If the symptom stays with the motor in question, then replace the motor. If not, then the motor is not at fault and something else is causing the problem.
3.4.2 X and Z-Axis Measurements Are Not Accurate
Measurements repeat, but with a dial indicator mounted to the spindle, traversing the length of a gage block or some other measurement standard, the measurement is not accurate.
Note: If your part has incorrect dimensions, see Parts Have Incorrect Dimensions, Section
3.1.4. Note: First check for repeatability of the DRO: With a dial indicator touch off a fixed surface
either in the X or Z-axis direction and set the DRO equal to 0. Crank away several inches and touch off again at the same place. If the reading has not returned to 0 on the DRO, zero the display and repeat the procedure. If the measurement does not repeat, you have a repeatability problem that must be resolved before the accuracy problem can be resolved. See Measurements That Do Not Repeat, Section 3.4.1.
Possible Cause
Do This
The Calibration is incorrect
Recalibrate the machine. See Calibration & Backlash Constants
Incorrect backlash values
If the machine does not repeat bi-directionally check the backlash on the axis in question. See Calibration and Backlash Constant Section 5.2.2.
3.4.3 The DRO Is Not Counting
The DRO for one axis is not counting when an axis is moved. Often times if this is the case the axis will fault. See section on faulting.
Do the following Service Codes:
Code 33 Software Identification. This is needed if you call Customer Service. Code 100 Axis open loop test. Used to check the maximum feedrate of an axis
and if the encoders are counting.
Code 132 Electronic handwheel test. Code 131 Manual Encoder Test.

Electronic handwheel failure
The Z handwheel should count 2.54 mm per revolution in both directions in fine mode and 10.2 mm per revolution in course mode. The X handwheel should count 0.51 mm per revolution in both directions in fine mode and 2.54 mm per revolution in course mode.
Servo driver failure
See Servo driver Section 4.5.
Motor Encoder not counting
See Motor diagnostics (not applicable with Glass Scale option)
Computer/Pendant failure
See Computer/Pendant diagnostics section 4.3.
3.4.4 X and Z-Axis DRO Counting in Wrong Direction
The DRO is counting in the wrong direction.
The positive directions for each axis are:
X-axis – cross slide moves toward the operator Z-axis – carriage moves toward tailstock
Do the following service code and procedures:
Code 33 Software Identification. This is needed if you call Customer Service. Code 313 Check the line that specifies the product.
If the product does not match the machine then the machine ID key will need to be replaced.
3.4.5 X and Z-Axis Electric Handwheels Turn in Wrong Direction
The Electric Handwheels turn in the wrong direction.
The positive directions for each Electric Handwheel are:
X-axis - Electric Handwheel turns counterclockwise. Z-axis - Electric Handwheel turns clockwise.
Do the following service code and procedures:
Code 308 Reverse X-axis Handwheel Direction. Code 310 Reverse Z-axis Handwheel Direction.
3.5 Problems with the Machine Tool
3.5.1 Spindle Stalls or Turns-Off During Machining
During machining, the spindle turns off and loses power. First check incoming voltage and connections.
Possible Cause
Check This
Machine Tool and Setup problem
Check the type of material being cut, type and size of cutting tool, RPM, and Feed rate. Also check the condition of the cutter to verify that the cutter is not dull. See Machine Tool & Setup Section
4.1.
Motor drive Belt is slipping
Check the alignment, condition, and tension of the Drive Belt.
Cut more than the machine is capable
Check speeds, feeds and depth of cut

3.5.2 Spindle Motor Hums or Will Not Run
The spindle motor makes a constant humming noise during operation or will not turn on.
Possible Cause
Check This
Wrong voltage
Check the 415V voltage to the machine Poor wiring connections
Check all the wiring connections to the electric’s box.
Defective cable connections
Check all cable connections
Spindle Motor is bad
Check the resistance of the Spindle Motor windings on the Spindle Motor between L1 & L2, L2 & L3, and L1 & L3, using an Ohmmeter. The resistance should range from ".7 to 1.8 Ohm". If the Ohmmeter reads "0 Ohms" or "OL", then replace Spindle Motor. Next, check the resistance between L1 & Ground, L2 & Ground, and L3 & Ground, using an Ohmmeter. The resistance should read "OL". If not then replace Spindle Motor.
3.5.3 Spindle Runs Backwards
The spindle motor runs in the opposite direction.
Possible Cause
Check This
3-Phase wires backwards
Need to switch any 2 of the 3 wires either coming out of the Spindle Drive (T1, T2, and T3) or going into the Spindle Motor (U, V, and W). Caution: Be sure to shut off all power to the machine before attempting to switch any wires.
3.5.4 Excess Gearbox Noise
Gearbox noise is louder than normal. Run the lathe at the gear where the noise is most noticeable. Remove the gearbox lid and try to isolate where the noise is coming from.
Possible Cause
Check This
Insufficient amount of oil in headstock
Check site glass to make sure oil is at sufficient level.
Spindle bearing not being lubricated properly, worn bearing
Remove top lid and check to make sure oil is overflowing freely to the spindle bearings.
Spindle preload loose
Tighten spindle preload on bearing. The spindle preload should be approximately 1.1 – 1.7 N-m.
3.5.5 Headstock is Leaking Oil
A Form-A-Gasket sealant should be use to seal any leaking areas. Make sure the sealant fills the leaking area thoroughly. Sealant must cure for 24 hours for best results.
3.5.5.1 Leaking Oil from Rear of Gearbox
Possible Cause
Check This
Leaking from behind belt drive pulley
Replace shaft seal - o-rings or gaskets.
Oil leaking from behind the spindle encoder.
Remove spindle encoder and pinion shaft cover. Check the seal.
Oil leaking from the rear bearing assembly.
Make sure the spindle shaft cover is mounted correctly, if so remove the cover and check the o-ring.

4.0 Diagnostics
Electrical and Mechanical maintenance should only be carried out by trained and experienced machine tool engineers who fully understand the hazards of working with machine tools.
This section explains the diagnostic procedures used to isolate service problems.
4.1 The Machine Tool & Set-Up
4.1.1 Leveling
Leveling is one of the most important aspects of setting up the machine properly. Improper leveling can lead to a variety of machining problems.
The machine should be level to within .02 mm longitudinally and .01 mm transversely. See Leveling Procedures, Section 2.9.
4.1.2 A Special Word About The X Gib
The X gib is vital to the performance of your lathe.
Gibs should be:
flat free of twist free of burrs free of blockages in the oil passages and channels
Defective or scarred gibs must be replaced. Shimming of gibs will not yield acceptable results.
It is good machining practice to avoid the use of shop air to clean the chips off a machine. This risks blowing chips into the sliding way surfaces and compromising the performance of the machine.
See Gib Adjustments, Section 5.2.1.
4.1.3 Lubrication
Lubrication is one of the single, most important maintenance issues and plays a key role in assuring the performance and durability of the lathe. At the beginning of each day manually supply oil to the way surfaces by doing service code 300.
Lack of lubrication can lead to a variety of problems with your machine motion due to increased friction in the sliding ways. This increased friction may lead to part inaccuracies and decreased life expectancies of your ballscrews and way surfaces.
Lack of lubrication in the headstock can lead to increased wear of the gear train as well as premature wearing or failure of the spindle bearings. For the 1630, oil will be flowing only when the spindle is on.
4.1.4 Machining Set-Up
The machining set-up itself is always something that can greatly influence the performance of the lathe. The following are some things to keep in mind.
Page 38

XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
Problems With
Can Contribute To:
Feed and Speeds (spindle rpm) See below
Poor finish Excessive speeds and feeds can break cutting tools or wear out too fast.
Tooling Using the wrong cutter for an application
Poor finish Parts incorrect
Cutting too deep
Part dimensions incorrect Driving and cutting forces cause deflections, since no material is totally rigid
No coolant
Poor finish, decrease the life of the cutter
The following is a list of common machining problems and some possible solutions.
Problem
Check or Try This
Poor surface finish
Dull tool Reduce feedrate Increase spindle speed Use a higher rake angle tool Make sure tool is not dull or chipped Use proper grade of cutting tool Use coolant Check to see if tools are on the centerline
Long workpieces out of round
Use a follow or steady rest
Excessive chatter
Tool bit improperly ground or not on center Avoid extreme negative rake inserts Tool overhang too great, tool deflection Improper feeds and speeds X gib loose. See
Gib Adjustment, Section 5.2.1
Work improperly supported Machine tool out of level - See
Leveling Procedures,
Section 2.9.
4.1.4.1 Spindle Speeds
Spindle speeds are influenced by a number of variables:
Material Rigidity of the Machine Setup Coolant Insert, geometry and material of insert Depth of cut
4.1.4.2 Feedrates
Factors that affect feedrates:
Depth of cut Design or type of insert Sharpness of the insert Workpiece material Type of finish or accuracy required

ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
4.2 The Mechanical Drive Train (X,Z)
Indications:
Troubleshooting instructions indicate that the drive train is potentially the
problem and other, more easily checked, variables have been exhausted.
Roughness, looseness, tightness or jamming movement in the carriage or cross slide. Carriage walk-up due to Z ball screw misalignment.
1. Check for machine considerations, especially X gib adjustments and leveling. See
Gib Adjustments, Section 5.2.1.
2. Do the following special service codes:
Code 12 - this is a procedure that helps the control adjust to the friction
characteristics unique to the machine. Write down the resulting values from the display. If your problem is control related, check to see if this procedure has resolved the problem.
3. The torque required to manually turn the X and Z-axis ballscrews should be
between 10-15 in-lbs. These values should be consistent in both directions and along all areas of the axis travel. Values that differ from that of above may correspond to misaligned ball screws.
The following steps take you in a logical sequence through the assemblies. If the step doesn’t isolate or resolve the problem, it will be necessary to disassemble the indicated item and move to the next step.
1. Ensure that the screws that hold the bearing housing in place are not loose.
2. Ensure that the Clamp Nut is secured. The following applies to the clamp nut:
When loosening, make sure to back out the 10-32 screw from the clamp nut.
3. When tightening, snug the 10-32 screw to keep the clamp nut from spreading,
after applying the appropriate torque (50 ft lbs), tighten the 10-32 screw.
4. Take out the angular contact bearings in the X & Z-axis and inspect them. They
should roll smoothly and be lightly greased. If not, replace them. The Z-axis has 2 bearing housings. The tailstock bearing housing only contains 1 ball bearing.
NOTE: The bearing housing and spacer rings are matched sets - keep them together.
5. With the motor and drives removed, inspect the ball screw, ball nut and yoke for
the potential problems shown in the chart below.
CAUTION!
Unlike a leadscrew, do not unscrew the ball screw from its nut. This will destroy the ball screw!
Page 40
36
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
Potential Problem:
Check By:
Bad ball screw
Visual inspection of the ball nut - if the nylon seal is broken or deformed, if
contamination has visibly entered the ball nut or if balls are out of the ball nut, replace the ball screw.
Cranking the ball screw through a significant part of its travel. If it jams, feel loose or
has rough spots, replace the ball screw.
Dial indicator movement when indicating on the end of the ballscrew indicates
backlash between the ball screw and ball nut.
Ball nut not tightened to the yoke
Inspection for space between the head of the bolt and the ball nut i.e. the retaining
bolt has bottomed out in its thread and is not securing the ball nut to the yoke properly.
Yoke loose in the carriage
Inspection for any motion of the yoke or looseness in the Yoke mounting screws.
Oil lines sheared
Visual inspection.
Oil line blockage
Pump the oil and ensure that it flows evenly to the ways, ball screws and cross-slide.
Z Ball screws not aligned properly
Manually turn the ball screw through the length of its travel. Pay particular attention
to the movement near the headstock, the middle and the tailstock.
NOTE: Ball screws are inspected throughout their entire travel for backlash and consistent torque. A ball screw should be good for millions of mm of travel if installed properly. Do not be too quick to replace a ball screw if there is insufficient indication that it is bad; this will just be a costly delay to resolving the real problem.
See: Z Ball Screw Removal, Section 5.1.13 X Ball Screw Removal, Section 5.1.11 Aligning Z Ball Screw, Section 5.1.14
4.3 Computer/Pendant Diagnostics
The pendant consists of 2 separate modules: the computer module and the pendant enclosure minus the computer module.
In general, the pendant/computer module is best diagnosed by eliminating all other possible alternatives. The following table lists some problems and what these problems can lead to.
Possible problems
Can lead to
Poor cable connections
There are 6 cable connections to the left side of the pendant. Make sure all cables are properly fastened.
Pendant locks up
Press the E-stop button and see if lock up clears if not then do the following: Turn the pendant off, wait at least 30 seconds, and turn it back on and check to see if the malfunction has been reset.
No voltage to RSG port
RSG will not work – should be 5 DC volts present Check with a voltmeter.
Low voltage to flash drive or slave board.
Can cause the system to lock up and the flash drive to act abnormally. Check voltage to the RSG port with a voltmeter. It should be 4.8 DC volts and above. Lower values than this can cause problems.
Flash disk failure
If the flash disk fails, the system will not boot up or operate. It will need to be replaced. All programs and machine configurations will be lost. Make sure to back up your flash drive from time to time. Only the flash disk module will need to be replaced.
Floppy disk failure
Will not allow user to save or pull up programs from a floppy disk. Can the floppy drive format a disk? See Section 4.3.
Page 41
37
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
LCD backlight burns out
Check all cable connections to LCD, distribution board and computer module. Make sure the power is turned off before doing so.
Faulty E-stop switch
It can be stuck open or closed (pressed). If it is stuck closed the pendant will need to be replaced because the user will have no way to get rid of the message. If it is open it will allow the machine to still operate but it will be unsafe for the user. The pendant will still need to be replaced. The E-Stop reset button may need to be pressed.
Overlay failure (keys on pendant)
Certain buttons on overlay do not work. Do code 81 to verify each key beeps.
Low voltage to pendant or current spikes
1 amp fuse in pendant blows. Pendant will not turn on.
Slave board not functioning
Machine will not run. If under Code 33 it says “demo,” it means the
slave board is not functioning.
4.3.1 Checking Floppy Drive by Formatting a Disk
1. Find a new disk and install in floppy drive.
2. Install keyboard into middle port.
3. Press CTRL ESC to get to start menu.
4. Press R for run.
5. Type Format a: - press enter.
6. If the format works your disk drive is working. If format does not work, reboot
control and see if it now works. If it does not work replace the computer module.
7. Press ALT ESC to get back to PT4 software.
4.4 Motor Diagnostics
The Motor subsystem is comprised of 2 parts: The Motor Encoder and the Motor. The motors are powered by 110 VAC voltage. The servo driver is also an integral part of servo system, which is discussed in detail in the next section.
WARNING!
Do not work with the motors unless the power is disconnected from the machine. The motors
are run by 110 VAC. There is possibility of death by electrocution!
Rarely do both the X and Z motor/servo systems fail at the same time and in the same way. So, if your problem is occurring on both axes, its source is probably somewhere else.
4.4.1 Cable Connections
Check the motor cable connections on the cable breakout box. Verify there are no pushed in pins on the connector.
4.4.2 To Check the Motor Encoders
If the motor encoder inside the motor has failed or is not reading the machine will fault out on that axis. Do the following to verify this problem:
Run Service Code 100 or 131. This will display on the DRO if the motor encoder is counting. If this axis does not count, the encoder is not counting. This means either the encoder or the cable is the problem. Visually check the cable for any problems. If the encoder has failed the motor must be replaced.
Page 42
38
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
4.4.3 Encoder Counts to Pendant
Before replacing the motor due to a bad motor encoder it is a good idea to check the cables that take those signals back to the pendant. If these signals are not getting back to the pendant then the axis will fault. Check the following cable connections.
Umbilical #1 and #2 at the cable breakout box Umbilical #1 and #2 at the pendant Umbilical #1 carries the X-axis signals and Umbilical #2 carries the Z-axis signal.
4.4.4 Moving Problem from One Axis to Another
Another way to troubleshoot a problem with a particular axis is to swap parts from 1 axis to another to see if the problem moves. If the problem moves then that component is faulty. See the example below.
Symptom – X Axis will not move and faults
This particular problem can happen because of any of following reasons: bad motor, servo driver, power cable, or computer module. In some cases it is not always obvious which component is causing the problem. This example will help us pinpoint the problem through a trial and error process.
Let’s assume we have narrowed it down to the servo or electrical systems and the X­axis has no problems. Lets also assume it is not an obvious problem like a loose connection. This particular example was done on a machine with motor encoders only.
Swap these components
Results
Physically switch the X and Z motors
Has problem moved to Z-axis? If yes, replace motor. If no, the motor is not the problem.
4.5 Servo Drivers
The two (2) servo drivers are located in the electrical cabinet.
Indications:
Problems moving just one axis. The axis faults out on the screen.
Servo Types:
X is a light duty driver Z is a heavy duty driver
Objective:
Isolate the problem to the particular Servo Driver
Steps:
1. Turn off and unplug the system.
2. Physically swap the servo module from the axis that is not working to one that is.
WARNING!
Do not work with the Servo Driver unless the power is disconnected from the machine. There is
possibility of death by electrocution!
Page 43
39
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
Note: To avoid pulling the wires out of the connector, use the loop to pull the connector from the Servo Driver.
If the problem moves to the other axis and clears up from the original axis, replace the Servo Driver.
WARNING!
Do not work run each axis very long when swapping servo’s. They are not rated to run each
motor for long periods of time.
4.6 Electrical
4.6.1 Checking A/C Voltage
This procedure tests for the 115V power for the control.
Use a Voltmeter, reading A/C volts Acceptable range is 110V to 130V
Note: systems running consistently close to the high or low values may have problems when normal voltage fluctuations push the voltage out of the acceptable range.
The system is shipped out assuming the customers shop has 415 V power. If the transformer secondary tap is set on 115 volts. Measure the voltage coming out of the transformer by placing the voltmeter across the 115 V and 0 V taps. If this measurement is above 120 volts then move the tap from 115 V to 110 V. If the reading is low, 110 V or below, then change the tap from 115 V to 124 V. Input power to the machine that is 430 V or above will cause the 110 voltage to be high and voltage that is 405 V or below typically causes 110 voltage to be low.
4.6.2 Checking Fuses
There are 11 fuses that make up the system on the 1630. There are 2 fuses in the pendant, 3 fuses on the spindle control module and 6 fuses on the power module. To check fuses:
1. Use a Volt/Ohmmeter; select “OHM” or “”.
2. Remove the fuse completely from the pendant display or electrical box.
3. Place a lead of the meter on each end of the fuse.
A good fuse reads 0 (zero) or close to it. A bad fuse reads Open or Infinity or OL (overload).

4.6.3 Main Electrical Box
Only qualified electrical engineers should work in this box.
The electrical box is made up of the following main components:
1. AC drive – used to control the spindle motor.
2. 2 braking resistors – used to brake the spindle motor. To verify the resistors are
good, measure the resistance across B1 and B2 of the AC drive. It should read 32 ohms when both resistors are good and 64 ohms if 1 resistor is bad and one is good. Values lower or higher than this could mean one or both resistors are bad.
3. Spindle Control Module – used to control spindle related functions, indexer
option, and the remote e-stop. The spindle control module has (1) 5-amp fuse, (1) 3-amp fuse and (1) 12-amp fuse. The spindle control module also has (6) 110 V outlets that supply power to the pendant, spindle, lube pump, indexer, lamp, and the door fan.
4. Cable breakout box – used to send encoder information to the pendant and
provide power to the motors.
5. Servo drivers – servo drivers for the X and Z-axis motors.
6. Power Module - The purpose of the power module is to fuse and distribute 415 V
3 phase power to the drive module assembly. L1 and L2 lines from the 3 phase 415 VAC is used for the primary side of the transformer to produce 110 V single­phase power to the spindle control module. The power module has (3) 25 amp fuses to protect the entire system. It also has (2) 4 amp and (1) 2 amp secondary fuses. The power module also has a ground bar where all the panels are grounded and a dual channel relay (safety relay) that is controlled by the E­stop and E-stop reset button on the pendant.

4.6.4 Cable Breakout Box Connections
The list below describes what takes place through each connection. Power reaches the cable breakout box through AC IN from the pendant. From there power is distributed through the system.
Umbilical #1 & Umbilical #2 Ports (To Pendant) - The lathes have (2)
motor encoder signals, which are communicated between the Encoder module and the Pendant by use of (2) Umbilical cables. The X signal is communicated through umbilical #1 and the Z motor signal is transferred through umbilical #2.
Apron Port - Communication for X & Z-Handwheel and jogstick logic signals
between the Pendant and the cable breakout box.
and Z- servos. X & Z - Motor Ports - are used to receive power from the servo and distribute
it to the motors.
X & Z-Motor Encoder Ports - These ports are used to receive logic signals
from each of the X & Z-Motor Encoders.
Spindle Encoder Port - The port is used to receive logic signals from the
spindle encoder, when it is engaged for a threading routine.
Logic to Servo (PWM) - This port is used to keep continuous feedback
between the servos and the cable breakout box.
110 VAC Outlet - The outlet is for powering up the coolant pump. Beside the
outlet is an LED light signifying power is reaching the pump when it is active, and a fuse to protect the pump.
E-Stop and Spindle Out Port - used to disable power to the spindle motor
when the E-Stop is activate.
4.6.5 Cable Connections
The lathe machines use 7+ cables to communicate between systems. It is often the case that what appears to be the failure of an electrical component is actually attributable to a poor connection.
Indications:
Control problems, chronic or intermittent. Motor problems. Measurement problems.
Explanation:
1. Turn off and
unplug
the system from the wall.
WARNING!
Do not plug and unplug connectors with the system power on. This may cause damage to the

4.8.2 Machine Set-up Codes
The following codes are used primarily when setting up a new machine. To get to any of these codes go to Service Codes, press “B” and press the code you wish to view.
4.8.2.1 CODE 12: Feed Forward Constant
The Code 12 procedure helps the control “learn” the friction characteristics of the
machine by sending a graduated series of motor signals and observing the results. The process takes less than 30 seconds to run. It is both a diagnostic routine that displays values, and a routine that sets the parameters of the control for the particular machine.
The Code 12 is used for diagnosing and resolving:
Problems with machine motion. Machined parts come out bad – especially poor finish.
Note: Code 12 routine will set the parameters for the particular machine and its particular situation. If the machine changes its friction characteristic, the Feed Forward Constant should change too, or the system will not servo properly. Whenever gibs are adjusted or a heavy workpiece has been added to the table, you should run a Code 12. When the heavy workpiece is removed, Code 12 should be run again.

1. Position the table and addle in the center of travel. Note: You will lose your DRO position reference.
2. Go into the Service Codes and input the Code 12.
3. Press Auto
4. The system will run the routine automatically and then display values on the
position readout.
Explanation
Typical values should be between 4.04 and 11.11 are considered normal for each axis. Higher values indicate excessive friction in the system. Lower values indicate a loose system and may mean a gib adjustment is necessary. Value 4.04 means the friction is a factor of 4 in one direction, and 4 in the other direction. The values should be within 3 or 4 of each other in both directions. A value of 6.08 would still be considered normal.
On S products, do not equate Code 12 values to torque on ballscrew. Measure friction in system with an N-m torque wrench.
The feed forward gain can be adjusted manually by pressing the manual button. Choose the axis you would like to change and then enter values in the positive and negative direction to adjust. Adjusting the gain can help solve circularity problems. Default values can be set by pressing the Reset button. The manual feature should only be used in extreme cases where the AUTO routine did not solve the problem. Manual adjusts above 12 may lead to servo related problems.
4.8.2.2 CODE 100: Axis Open Loop Test
Code 100 procedure is used to diagnose problems with the configuration of the system, the encoders and incoming A/C voltage.
IMPORTANT -- SAFETY NOTICE
During this procedure the designated axis will be given a command to move at maximum speed for 1 second in the direction you choose. Avoid crashes by starting with the cross­slide and saddle centered. MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS STANDING IN THE WAY OF THE
CROSS-SLIDE OR SADDLE!
Note: You will lose the DRO reference position.
This procedure is to be run for each axis that is servo-driven, and for both the plus and minus direction for each axis.
1. Center the cross-slide and saddle.
2. On the Pendant display, go into the Service Codes and input the Code 100.
3. The conversation line will say: “SELECT AXIS”. Input the axis. Either X or Z.
4. In the conversation line it will say “WHICH DIRECTION? PLUS”.
If you want to run in the plus direction, press INC SET. If you want to run in the minus direction, press +/-, then INC SET.
5. In the conversation line it will say “PRESS GO”. Press Go after you are sure that
the machine will not crash in the direction and axis that you have specified.
6. Afterward the screen will display values next to the DRO position axes.

When you press the keys, the corresponding box for that key will highlight on the screen. The pendant will also beep, indicating that the key is working correctly. If one of the keys does not work the pendant assembly may need to be replaced. If none of the keys are working chances are that the computer module will need to be replaced.
4.8.3.3 Code 131: Manual DRO
A manual diagnostic routine to check the motor encoder and table encoders. Turn the X hand wheel to display the encoder readings. This code will display the actual DRO counts and the raw encoder counts before the calibration and backlash factors have been factors into the counts.
4.8.3.4 Code 132 - Electronic Hand Wheel Test
Turn the X or Z-axis electronic hand wheel. The display should show movement as the hand wheel is being turned. There should be no skipping and it should count smoothly while the hand wheel is being turned. One revolution of hand wheel should read 10.2 mm for Z and 2.54 mm for X in course mode and 2.54 mm for Z and 0.51 mm for X in fine mode.
4.8.3.5 Code 133 – Spindle Encoder Test
Turn the spindle or run the spindle at low RPM’s. The display should show the
counts from the spindle encoder. It should count to 360 on the Z display and then reset. Each time it resets it displays the number in the X display area.
4.8.3.6 Code 314: Toggle Test Lights ‘ON’ in Status Line
This code toggles on and off 2 test lights that appear in status line. The top light signifies if the master software is working. If functioning it should flash a green light. The bottom light signifies if the slave firmware is functioning. It will appear orange in run mode when it is processing information. Pressing the mode key will change this orange box to black. The orange box will also change to black when the program you are running reaches the 3rd event from the end of the program. If the firmware is locked up no keys will work. This code is useful for diagnosing intermittent problems with the control locking up.
4.8.3.7 Code 319: Error Log
This code when turned on captures the commands that were sent to the servo system. It includes items such as positioning commands, errors, stop and go
Page 56
52
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
commands, etc. It may be helpful for identifying problems between programmed commands and executed commands. To turn on the error log press the F6 softkey. The page forward and backward keys allow you to scroll through the file one page at a time. The data forward and data backward keys allow you to scroll through the file one line at a time. The data bottom key takes you to the bottom of the file and then changes to data top which will take you back to the top. The file will capture data until the file reaches a size of approximately 600 Kb. At this time the file is saved to a backup file and the original file is cleared and data is once again captured. Once again as the file reaches a size of 600 Kb it copies over the previous backup file. From here the user can save the file to the floppy drive by pressing the F8 softkey. Once this is done it prompts you for which file you want to save to disk. The F1 key saves the current file to disk and the F2 key saves the backup file to disk. To clear the files press the F7 softkey.
4.8.3.8 Code 324: Toggle Simulation Mode
Simulation Mode allows the control to run a program without actually moving the table. It is helpful in diagnosing Computer/display problems.
4.8.3.9 Code 326: Error Message Display
Error Message Display is used to describes error messages.
4.8.4 Operator Defaults/Options Codes
The following codes allow the user to set programming defaults or turn features on or off. To get to any of these codes go to Service Codes, press “D” and press the code you wish to view.
4.8.4.1 Code 66: Default Metric
This code causes the control to turn on in the metric mode.
4.8.4.2 Code 67: Default English
This code causes the control to turn on in the English mode.
4.8.4.3 Code 79: Beeper On
This turns on the beeper to the control keys.
4.8.4.4 Code 80: Beeper Off
This turns off the beeper to the control keys.
4.8.4.5 Code 129: Arc Accuracy
When the SL control operates at high feedrates it may create small part machining errors as it goes around sharp corners. This exists on all CNC’s and is commonly
called a “following error.” The control is factory preset to allow a maximum following
error of 0.13 mm. The feedrate will automatically be adjusted around sharp corners so as to not violate this limit. This code only applies to arcs that are programmed and ones that are created in the tool path to generate the shape you want. This code will not make a difference on mill moves.
You may adjust the maximum following error to a value as small as .003 mm. However, the smaller the value, the slower the feedrate around corners.
To input a new Following Error use the following procedure: Follow the instructions on the screen and input the Following Error value (from .003 to .3 mm) and press INC SET.

5.1.5 Cable Routing on Machine
Whenever you replace a cable or reroute a cable it is very important to keep the power cables and logic cables separated from each other. The power cables consist of the (2) 110-volt motor cables and (2) 110-volt power cables for the pendant, and a coolant pump or solenoid power cable. The logic cables are used to carry encoder signals between the cable breakout box and computer module. Mixing of the power and logic cables may cause noise from the power cables to interrupt the signals in the logic cables. This can lead to intermittent axis faults or repeatability problems.
5.1.6 Electronic Handwheels & Jogstick
There are 2 electronic handwheels on the lathes and 1 jogstick to move the carriage quickly into position. Each unit is replaced as an assembly. Disconnect the handwheels and jogstick from the apron cable. (See Figure 41, Section 7)
5.1.7 Cable Routing in Electrics Box
Whenever you replace a cable or reroute a cable it is very important to keep the power cables and logic cables separated from each other. The power cables consist of the (2) 110 volt servo motor cables and (4) 110-volt power cables for the pendant, spindle motor fan, coolant pump, and lube pump. The logic cables are used to carry signals between modules, handwheels, encoders, etc. Mixing of the power and logic cables may cause noise from the power cables to interrupt the signals in the logic cables. This can lead to intermittent axis faults or repeatability problems.
5.1.8 Spindle Drive Belt Replacement (See Figure 14)
The spindle drive motor is located inside the base pedestal, underneath the headstock gearbox. Access is gained by opening the upper door on the headstock and removing
the lower access panel on the pedestal. When removing the belt, loosen nut “G” and advance nut “H” until the belt has sufficient slack to be removed from the pulleys.
When installing the belt, retract nut “H” and tighten nut “G”. Initially, tension the belt
such that there is no slippage when the lathe is started at its maximum speed.
Belt tension should be checked frequently during the first days of operation, and periodically thereafter. Keep the pulleys and belt clean and free of any foreign material to ensure long life and maximum traction.

5.1.12 Installing Angular Contact Bearings (See Figure 16)
1. On the inner race of the angular contact bearings, the thin walls face each other.
2. When tightening the clamp nut, first engage a few threads. Then lightly tighten
the locking screw slowly, so that when you slowly thread the lock nut inwards you can feel some contact between the two threads.
3. Once the clamp nut is completely threaded inwards you will need to use a torque
wrench to apply 68 N-m. of torque, properly seating the bearings.
4. Completely thread in the locking screw to prevent the lock nut from unthreading.

5.1.13 Z-Axis Ball Screw Removal (see Figure 17)
1. Unplug or remove all power from the lathe.
2. The Z-axis ball screw is attached to the lathe in three places: a. The left end where the Z-axis motor, the pulley, the clamp and the pair of
angular contact bearings are mounted.
b. Behind the apron assembly where the ball nut is attached to the yoke and
the oil line is located.
c. The right end where the floating bearing is located.
3. Access to the left end is gained by removing the sheet metal panel below the
headstock nameplate.
4. Access to the ball nut and the yoke is gained by removing the apron assembly.
5. For easy assess to the ball screw, remove the ball screw cover.
5.1.14 Align Z-Axis Ball Screw Assembly (See Figure 17)
1. Recheck machine level. Adjust as necessary.
2. Move carriage to middle of travel.
3. Loosen headstock bearing housing and mounting bracket and loosen tailstock
bearing housing.
4. Snug but do not tighten the yoke mounting bolts.
5. Move the ball screw manually and move the carriage to the tail stock end.
6. Tighten the yoke, this will align it vertically.
7. Tighten the tailstock bearing housing.
8. Loosen the yoke and retighten to realign ball horizontally.
9. Using a socket extension, move the carriage to the headstock.
10. Tighten the Z-axis housing.
11. Tighten the bearing housing.
12. Turn the ball screw manually with the socket extension and move the carriage to
the middle of the travel.
13. Loosen the yoke mounting bolts to readjust the apron plate after the bearings
have been tightened.
14. Retighten the yoke.
15. Move the ball screw manually and move the carriage through the entire length
of the Z-axis. Pay special attention to the areas near the headstock, tailstock, and in the middle of the travel. If there is any binding or rough spots, the alignment procedure must be repeated. The axis should feel equally free throughout the entire range.
16. Using a torque wrench, measure the torque to move the z-axis at each end, and in
the middle of the axis travel. The torque reading should be a maximum of 1.1 - 1.7 N-m.

5.1.15 Headstock Taper Adjustment
The headstock may be adjusted to remove turning taper if the taper is caused by a lack of parallelism of the headstock to the bed ways. Ensure that the level of the bed is correct prior to any headstock adjustments.
To adjust the headstock alignment, loosen the four socket head cap screws that attach the headstock housing to the bed. Using the adjusting screw located at the
Page 72
68
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
rear of the headstock, (See Figure 18) adjust the headstock position in the direction necessary to remove the taper. Note that the headstock will pivot about a pin located between the two front attaching screws. Tighten the attaching screws and test for taper.
Figure 18 Headstock Alignment
5.1.16 Spindle Bearing Preload
1. Run the lathe for 10 minutes to ensure the bearings are lubricated and slightly
warmed. Run the lathe at 500 RPM.
2. For the SLX 1630 you will need to remove the spindle motor belt because this
machine does not have a neutral. Using the torque wrench, measure the spindle rolling torque. The acceptable range of rolling torque is around 1.1 – 1.7 N-m.
Note that the torque required to start (“breaking away torque”) the spindles
rotation will be higher.
3. Loosen the three setscrews on the spindle-adjusting nut. The spindle-adjusting
nut on the SLX 1630 is outside the gearbox so the headstock access cover will not need to be removed.
4. Torque too low: With a spanner wrench tighten the adjusting nut. Measure the
rolling torque and repeat until 1.1 – 1.7 N-m. of rolling torque is achieved. Tighten the three setscrews to retain the adjustment.
5. Torque too high: With a spanner wrench loosen the adjusting nut two full turns.
Place an aluminum block over the end of the spindle and with a hammer drive the spindle forward until it is loose. (Near zero rolling torque) With a spanner wrench tighten the adjusting nut. Return the speed selection lever to the neutral position. Measure the rolling torque and repeat until 1.1 – 1.7 N-m. of rolling torque is achieved. Tighten the three setscrews to retain the adjustment.

5.1.17 Aligning Tailstock to Spindle (See Figure 19)
If there is taper appearing on the workpiece while machining by using the tailstock, the tailstock will need to be realigned to the spindle. Follow these steps:
1. Insert a mandrel between the spindle and tailstock, attach a base of a dial
indicator to the saddle, apply the needle of the indicator to the surface of the bar, then move the saddle through the longitudinal travel. Take the measurement of its maximum difference from end to end for later adjustment.
2. Release the 2 bolts labeled “A” in the drawing.
3. Release the screw labeled “B”.
4. Adjust using the 2 opposing screws “C” until the tailstock is aligned with the
spindle.
5. Tighten screw “B” first and then lock “A”.
Figure 19 Tailstock Alignment
5.1.18 Spindle Motor Wiring
The SLX 1630 spindle motor is wired for 415 volts in the configuration. The wiring consists of 3-phase power for the motor and 110 V power for the spindle motor fan. Please see the diagram found on the motor junction box cover for wiring information.
Each machine does however use a different spindle motor and pulley combination.
Each junction box contains 6 terminals. The terminals should be jumpered together as shown in the figure. Connect the incoming 3 phase power to the terminals. Make sure to hook up the wires in the same terminals after the replacement motor is installed. Failure to do so may run the motor in the wrong direction.
The spindle motor fan wires are also found in the junction box. There is 1 hot wire, 1 neutral wire and 1 ground wire. The hot and neutral wires are connected as shown for each motor. It does not matter which wires are connected to the hot and neutral wires. All grounds from each cable are connected to either of the screws labeled ground.

5.2 Maintenance
5.2.1 Gib Adjustments
The objective of adjusting the gibs is to eliminate as much play in the table, saddle and ram sliding surfaces as possible without having the tightness of the gib interfere with their free movement and cause a decrease in the accuracy and/or performance of the machine due to excessive friction.
5.2.1.1 Cross Slide Gib Adjustment
(See Figure 20)
1. Mount a dial indicator on the carriage and measure the slop in the cross
slide. The dial indicator should be mounted a few millimeters in front of the tool post. (Note: this should be where the gibs are worn the worst.).
2. Try to move the cross slide back and forth to measure the amount of
play. The dial indicator should only move between a 0.005 mm and a
0.01 mm. If it moves more than this then tighten the gibs.
3. Turn the X-axis ball screw with a torque wrench and measure the torque.
The torque should be less than 1.7 N-m. and consistent over the travel of the X-axis. If the measurement is higher than this then loosen the gib. Make sure the cross slide is aligned properly. One easy way to check for this is to remove the yoke bolts and see if the yoke springs back into position. Misalignment is also evident if the torque is higher when the yoke is up against the rear bearing housing.
4. You can also check the gib by taking out the yoke screws on top of cross
slide.

5.2.2 Calibration & Backlash Constants
Calibration and backlash constants were set as part of the installation and set-up of your system. They should be re-set when indicated in the Troubleshooting section or after the replacement of the computer module, or any parts of the drive train.
Calibration is used teach the machine a known distance. We typically calibrate our machines over a 150 mm distance. There is no limit to how far you can calibrate the machine.
5.2.2.1 Calibration
NOTE: Calibration usually is only done after replacing a computer module or adjusting the drive train.
1. Recheck machine level and adjust as necessary.
2. Press the “SERV CODE” soft key.
3. Input 123 on the keyboard, then press the “INC SET” key.
4. Input the “X” key to tell the control the x-axis is being calibrated.
5. Place the .002 mm indicator in the spindle and set up the metric standard on the
cross slide. Make sure the standard is parallel to the cross slide by using a
Page 76
72
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
combination square. Ensure that the standard is set up so that the readings will be taken with the cross slide extended towards the operator and moving in towards the motor end of the x-axis.
6. When the indicator is zeroed at the beginning of the standard press the “INC
SET” key.
7. Move the cross slide towards the motor side of the x-axis until the indicator zeros
on the end of the 150mm standard. Input 300mm when control prompts for a standard length.
8. If the calibration was successful the screen will return to the set up screen.
9. Press the “SERV CODE” soft key.
10. Input 123 on the keyboard, then press the “INC SET” key.
11. Press the “Z” key to tell the control that the z-axis is being calibrated.
12. Set up the metric standard in a chuck in the spindle.
13. Set up the magnetic base and .002 mm indicator on the cross slide.
14. When the indicator is zeroed at the beginning of the standard press the “INC
SET” key.
15. Move the saddle away from the chuck until the indicator zeros on the end of
the standard, then press the “INC SET” key.
16. Input 150 on the keyboard.
17. If the calibration is successful the screen will change to the set up screen.

5.2.2.2 Backlash Compensation
Code 127: Calculate X or Z Backlash Constant
Every mechanical system has at least a little backlash or lost motion. It is produced by the small amount of play between the gibs and ways, and mostly by the accumulative bending or elasticity of all the parts of the drive train under load. The backlash constant is factory set, but may need to be adjusted periodically.
1. Set a .002-millimeter dial indicator in the spindle, and touch off on a block or the
vise along the direction (X or Z) you wish to check, or set the backlash constant.

f. Backlash Value = _ _ _ _
f. What is shown is the current value. Follow the instruction on the screen and press the appropriate soft keys. Wait a few seconds between each INCR VALUE or DECR VALUE press.
g. The following is an example of what you might see when running this code.
For example, if the up and down "Oscillation Value" shown in the conversation line is .00278 millimeters, and the dial indicator is moving back and forth .0012, then the true backlash value is .00278 -.0012 = .00158 millimeters. Input this by pressing MODE, SET UP, SERV CODE, 128, SET and then .00158, SET, RETURN.
3. The X backlash identified and stored in Step 2 should be less than 0.05 mm on a
new machine. If it is appreciably larger, inspect the drive train for loose bolts, brackets, bearings, etc.
The backlash can also be found manually with a 0.002 mm indicator with the following method.
Load the indicator to zero from one direction and zero out the DRO. Move the indicator to 0.05 mm and then back to zero. Do not over shoot
0, otherwise start over.
Whatever number appears on the screen is the backlash value. Enter this value into service code 128. After entering this number redo the process. The DRO and indicator
should now both read 0.
CODE 128: Input Backlash Constant
Code 128 allows you to enter the backlash values for each axis. It displays the value after it enters.
Be sure not to enter too much backlash on any given axis. Too much backlash in the system may cause bi-directional repeatability problems or axis motor searching.
5.2.3 Lubrication
5.2.3.1 Headstock Lubrication
The SLX 1630 has a manual oil pump that is run off of the spindle through a gear. One of the oil lines pumps oil to a site glass located on the headstock. Periodically check to see that oil is flowing. For the SLX 1630, the oil should be flowing when the spindle is on only.
A drain plug is found on the machine to drain the headstock. Oil can be added to the reservoir by a plug in the top of the headstock cover or by removing the cover and
Page 78
74
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
pouring it into the headstock. There is a level site glass located under the spindle cover. The headstock reservoir holds approximately 9.5 liters for the SLX 1630. Fill the headstock with Mobil DTE 24 oil or an equivalent grade.
The headstock gearbox oil must be drained and flushed after the first 150 hours of operation. A small percentage of kerosene may be added to the gearbox to flush out dirt and sediment. Operate the machine for several minutes without load so that the flushing oil can circulate through the reservoir and remove the dirt. The flushing oil must then be drained and new oil added. Do not flush with solvents that will soften the paint. Thereafter, the oil should be flushed and drained every 1500-2000 hours of operation.

5.2.3.2 Tailstock
Three oilers located on top of the spindle housing lubricate the spindle and screw. The bedways on which the tailstock slides should be cleaned and oiled frequently.
Figure 24 Tailstock Oil
5.2.3.3 Miscellaneous Information
For all oilers on the machine, use medium S.A.E. NO. 30 machine oil. Before filling reservoirs or oil cups, always wipe off with a clean rag any accumulation of old oil, grease or dirt that might get into a part being lubricated.
Do not mix detergent type automotive oil, or multi-purpose oils with the regular grade of S.A.E. No. 30 lubricating oil.

6.0 Indexer Options
6.1 Dorian Indexer Option
6.1.1 Field Installation Instructions
1. Turn power on to the machine.
2. Verify air has been hooked up to the machine. The air regulator is mounted to the
bottom left of the electrical cabinet.
3. Make sure the on/off switch on the white box on top of the chip guard is turned on.
When it is on a green light will be illuminated.
4. Go to SETUP mode under TOOL GROUPS to verify the indexer softkey is activated.
Then press the INDEXER key to activate the indexer. It will turn gray when activated.
5. Go to DRO mode and press TOOL # and enter a number from 1 to 8. The indexer
should move to this tool number. The tool number on the indexer is found right above the tool slot. If the tool # in the control and on the indexer is in the wrong position, enter Service Code 147 to re-initialize the indexer.
6. To verify the indexer is working properly, run a program with all 8 tools. To run the
program, enter a home position in Setup Mode. Make sure you set the X and Z absolute zero position 300 – 450 mm from the chuck. Set the home position to X = 3 and Z = 3. Run a program and make sure the indexer moves to the correct tool stations programmed. Verify that the indexer positions to each tool station. If there is a problem refer to the troubleshooting section.
6.1.2 Removing the Indexer from the Lathe
1. Turn the main power off to the machine.
2. Unhook the air line from the air regulator.
3. Disconnect 2 air lines and 2 electrical lines. The 2 air lines need to be disconnected at the
white box that is mounted on the top of the chip enclosure. The fittings are the quick­disconnect type where you push in on the connector and pull the air lines loose. One electrical cable needs to be removed from the white electrical box and one cable from the black electrical box. All four connections to the indexer are inside a flexible black conduit. (See Figure 26) at the end of this section for layout of cable connections.
4. Unhook the black cable from the brackets that run on top of the chip enclosure.
5. Remove the cabling that goes runs across the crosslide.
6. Remove the indexer from the cross slide. It is fastened down with 6 socket head cap
screws to the riser block. Remove the riser block from the cross slide. You may want to remove the indexer and riser block assembled together but it may be difficult to slide the whole thing out of the T-slots. Be careful, the indexer weighs approximately 36 kg.
7. To re-install the indexer, follow these steps in reverse order. Make sure you install
the riser block at least 57 mm from the front of the cross slide, not the front bracket. Failure to do this will cause the indexer to hit the sliding door when the cross slide is all the way toward the operator.

ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
6.1.3 Troubleshooting the Indexer
The following fault messages will appear on the screen when there is a problem with the indexer. There are also LED's in the black box on top of the chip guard that may be helpful when troubleshooting the indexer. Please refer to that section below.
Fault 85 – Impossible Tool Position
This message will appear if the indexer goes to a tool number that you did not select.
For example, the operator chose Tool 2 and the indexer went to Tool Station 6. To fix this problem, re-initialize the system by choosing Service Code 147. If this does not solve the problem, refer to the LED troubleshooting section.
Fault 86 – Indexer Power Problem
This message will appear if the power is interrupted to the indexer. It could indicate
that no power or low power is getting to the indexer. The black box on top of the chip enclosure receives 115V power from the main electrical cabinet and sends it to the white box. From there it is reduced to 24V by a power supply in the black box and reduced to12V in the white box by a transformer. If there is a power problem you will need to back track to find out where the power is being interrupted. If voltage drops outside of the 20–28 volts range in the black box this message could also appear. To make sure power is getting to the white box verify that the green light on the side of the box is illuminated. If it is not, check the fuse next to the light.
Fault 87 – Indexer Air Pressure Problem
This message will appear if the air pressure sensor senses low air or no air pressure.
The recommended air pressure for the indexer is 552 kPa (80 PSI). The air pressure should be at least 483 kPa (70 PSI) and no more than 1034 kPa (150 PSI) for the indexer to work correctly. Do not exceed 1034 kPa (150 PSI). This will void the warranty on the indexer. Check to make sure the air regulator is set to at least 552 kPa (80psi).
Fault 88 – Indexer Not Initialized
This message will appear if the indexer does not know its present position. An
example of this would be if the turret stops in the middle of a tool change. An interruption of power or air may cause this fault. Pressing the E-stop button can also cause this problem if the tool is not in a known position. Initialize with Service Code
147.
Fault 89 – Indexer Time Out
This message appears if the indexer does not get to position after a few seconds.
This may be caused by an internal problem inside the indexer such as a broken gear or jammed component. Very low air pressure may also cause this fault. It should take no longer than 2 or 3 seconds for the indexer.
6.1.4 Troubleshooting from LED's in Black Box
Inside the black box, which is mounted on top of the chip enclosure, there is an LED that signifies indexer position. It reads numbers from 1 to 8. There are also directional LED's to signify how far and in what direction the indexer is told to rotate by the control. Remove the lid from the box in order to see the LED's. The number in the black box should correspond to the tool number of the indexer. If these numbers are different, re­initialize the indexer with Service Code 147. The directional LED's will be helpful in verifying that the command from the control is getting to the black box and to the indexer. If the command is getting to the black box but not the indexer, there is a problem with the indexer. For example, if you command the indexer to move from Tool 1 to Tool 3 the LED for -90° should light up for a second. When facing the indexer, the rotation of the turret in a CW direction signifies a negative move and a CCW move signifies a positive move. Since the indexer takes the shortest path between tool changes, it can only move 45, 90, 135 in the positive direction, and 45, 90, 135 in the negative direction.

6.1.5 Indexer Encoder Re-Alignment
This procedure is necessary only if the indexer does not return to a true home position after initializing with Service Code 147. If the encoder is misaligned the turret will consistently be off by some angle. In order to perform the operation it may be necessary to use two people. One will adjust the encoder while the other watches the strobe 2 light inside the black box on top of the chip enclosure. If the encoder is misaligned, a LED labeled strobe 2 will be lit.
1. Remove the 4 screws that hold the back cover onto the indexer. The encoder is mounted
to the far right of the indexer if you are at the front of the machine and facing it. Please refer to the Dorian manual that is included with the machine for an illustration.
2. If initialization does not work, attempt to index the indexer until it sits in a true
position. A true position means the tool stations are parallel to the crosslide. This can be done by reversing the air lines on the indexer. Reverse the blue and red air lines and then use a breaker bar or piece of square stock to rotate the turret manually to a true position. Make sure to reverse the air lines back when complete. It will be obvious when the indexer is back to a true position. The indexer moves in approximately 15° increments.
3. Using an allen wrench, loosen the setscrew holding the encoder onto the shaft.
4. Rotate the encoder with the allen wrench until the strobe 2 light turns off in the black
box. Carefully tighten down the setscrew making sure not to move the encoder. If the encoder moves, the number in the box will disappear and it will be necessary to re-align the encoder.
5. Reassemble the unit.
6.1.6 Indexer Maintenance
Dorian recommends that the indexer be lubricated twice a year after the first year. The worm and worm gear should be lubricated with quality lithium based grease every 6 months after the first year. Remove the side cover, top cover and stepper motor and grease the gears. When re-mounting, be sure the O-ring and side seal are intact so that no coolant can enter the turret. Refer to the Dorian manual that is supplied with each machine for more information and drawings.
6.1.7 Warranty Issues
Dorian warrants the Dorian Indexer for 1 year. If it is determined that there is a problem with the indexer it will need to be sent back to Dorian for repair. Please refer to the Dorian manual that was shipped with the indexer.

Run a program and make sure the indexer moves to the correct tool stations programmed. Verify that the indexer positions to each tool station. If there is a problem refer to the troubleshooting section.
6.2.2 Removing the Indexer from the Lathe
1. Turn the main power off to the machine.
2. Disconnect 2 cables from the black box mounted on top of the lathe. See Figure 29 at the
end of this section for layout of cable connections.
3. Unhook the black cable from the brackets that run on top of the chip enclosure.
4. Remove the cabling that goes runs across the crosslide.
5. Remove the indexer together with the mounting base from the cross slide. It is fastened

Fault 86 – Indexer Power Problem
This message will appear if the power is interrupted to the indexer. It could indicate that no power or low power is getting to the indexer.
Fault 87 – Indexer Air Pressure Problem
This message will appear if the air pressure sensor jumper is faulty on the black cable breakout box on top of the lathe.
Fault 88 – Indexer Not Initialized
This message will appear if the indexer does not know its present position. An example of this would be if the turret stops in the middle of a tool change. An interruption of power or air may cause this fault. Pressing the E-stop button can also cause this problem if the tool is not in a known position. Initialize with Service Code 147.

6.2.4 Troubleshooting the Cable Breakout Box
The following describes the inputs and outputs from the PLC used to run the 4-tool indexer.
6.2.4.1 PLC Inputs
There are 8 inputs to the PLC, 7 of which are used for the 4-tool indexer. For inputs 1 through 4, the corresponding LED light will be on depending on which tool is in position. In other words, when the indexer is locked for tool 1, the I1 LED on the PLC will be lit. For inputs 5, 6 and 7, the LED light for these will only be on for a second or so when a new command is sent to the PLC from the control. A change of tool in DRO mode or within a program will cause these lights to come on. See below for which lights will be lit when changing tools.
I1 = Turret proximity sensor position #1 I2 = Turret proximity sensor position #2 I3 = Turret proximity sensor position #3 I4 = Turret proximity sensor position #4 I5 = Select #1 I6 = Select #2 I7 = Select #3 I8 = not used
I1 - I4 is from the 4-tool indexer - identifies turret position I5 - I7 is from the control - identifies index command
The 3 select lines gives us 8 possible incremental moves as follows. A few examples have also been given.
+1 tool (select 1 and 2) For example, if you command the indexer to
move 1 tool position, like from tool 2 to 3, you will see
the select 1 and 2 lights come on briefly. +2 tools (select 2) +3 tools (select1) For example, if you command the indexer to move 3 tool
positions, like from 1 to 4, you will see the select 1 light
come on briefly.
+4 tools (select 1, 2, and 3) – tool stays where it is
-1 tool (select2 and 3)
Page 87
83
XYZ Machine Tools
ProTURN SLX 1630 ProtoTRAK SLX CNC Safety, Installation, Service & Parts List Manual
-2 tools (select 1 and 3) For example, if you command the indexer to move from tool 4 to
tool 2,you will see the select 1 and 3 lights come on
briefly.
-3 tools (select 3) don’t move (nothing active) this means no commands were sent, therefore no lights come on.

PLC Outputs
There are 6 outputs from the PLC to the 4-tool indexer. Q1 = Motor on - fwd direction This light will be on when the indexer motor is
running forward
Q2 = Motor on - rev direction This light will be on when the indexer motor is
running reverse See the table below for the bit patterns for corresponding tools. Q3 = Bit #1 Q4 = Bit #2 Q5 = Bit #3 Q6 = Bit #4
Q1 & Q2 goes to the motor driver PCB Q3 - Q6 goes to the control - identifies position feedback to control
The following table reflects the meaning of the bit signals back to the control. Keep in mind that the 4-tool indexer reports back up to 4 absolute positions to the PLC and the PLC will output up to 8 absolute positions back to the control.
ITEM

BIT 2 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
BIT 3 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0
BIT 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
You can verify the bit pattern below by getting a voltmeter and seeing if a 5 volt signal is present when a bit reads 1 in the above table. For example, if the indexer is physically on tool 3, bits 1 and 2 should read 5 volts and bits 3 and 4 should read 0 volts. This procedure is best done when checking the inputs 1 through 4 above with the outputs.
To measure a bit with your voltmeter you will need to do the following. For example, for bit 1, place you meter across Q3 on the PLC and a ground point.
6.2.4.3
Motor Driver Settings
Please see the following drawing for an illustration of how the pots are to be adjusted on the motor driver board in the cable breakout box. The flat part of the pot should be in the location shown in the figure. Customer service may require a visual inspection of these settings. Also, please verify the position of 2 switches on the motor drive board.
CAUTION!
Do not adjust any of these settings. This may cause the indexer to not run correctly or not run
at all and will void the warranty of the hardware.
