Help......Hardinge XV710....4th axis oi-mc control

[SledGeek]

Have an XV 710 and just found a 4th axis up on a shelf. I have the first page of 9 page control config manual for initial set up . But I don't have the info for enable/disable. Anyone have it? It's an official Hardinge booklet for XV710 and XV1000. Says Document # T-397 on the one and only page I have. This thing is from 2007 and it's never been hooked up. Still bolted down to the shipping pallet! Sweet find tho !

 

Been 5-6 yrs since i ran 4th on fanuc and that was a 16i. If I remember correctly parameter was 9900 set at 4 and the KEEPRL was K05 and #7 set to 1 ?? Then just power down, hook up cables and power up, turn off write protect and good to go. Any one have info ? Don't really want to get service out here cuz I just spent 2000.00 on another issue with this machine.......

if your into phone conversations (LOL) try calling hardinge they should be able to email you the info you're looking for, im not entirely sure about the oi but can you go to the keep relay bit k5.7 dosent it say a small description at the bottom of the screen? im not sure how hardinge sets up the plc it may not say anything

[SledGeek]

no description......least not that i can find. Yeah, probably have to get on the horn....

You'll probably need to go through a dealer. Hardinge doesn't like to deal directly with customers anymore. We use Morris for Hardinge parts and info.

Thanks Dan , i will try it first thing in the morning !

[SledGeek]

That did it ! Thank you sir ! Now....do I need to disable relays evry time to unhook or can I just change parameter 12 and 1005 back to 1. It appears the relays are for clamp and unclamp...? thats the mnessage i got.

[mxdan]

yes ,you are correct, I never unhook our 4th axis, I just cut a notch in the top access door beside the window to allow the cabels to pass thru and I slide the 4th axis onto a wheeled cart I made and park it beside the machine when Im not using it.
