CNC 432 RP problem

[Chris64]

turning on the milling machine, it needs to hit the RP points on the axes, but when doing that the screens gives "busy" but F shows 0 and nothing happens. Just turning on the machine, i can move all axes in hand mode, but nothing else. I checked machine constant, they are ok. Any sugestion what could be the problem?

What machine?

Move z down about 1 in from the top.

Move the other axis off the ends.

Shut the machine down, count to 10 slowly, restart again. It need to "home itself" . Known what button it is?

Is that a Philips control on a Deckel ?

It is a Strausak ( Swiss made) milling machine whit Philips cnc432 controls, can you tell me more about Home itself and the button to do it? I try to take a picture from the control panel and post it. Thanks for support!

I think you will need a Strausak operator's manual.  I've never used one.

That's a old control. Never seen that either.

A manual would help. Who does the maintaince?

Wow take me back to the 80's.

 

Yes that is an old control, but I am still young. :scooter:

I have yhe original manual, but nothing in there concerning my problem, the machine does everything to get the RP point, but no movements while the screen shows "busy" and the F value stays 0. To me it seems like ther is no value for F in the machine program, in the machine constants there is a value for F but for some reason the controller is sending no value out.

I have no idea what your setup looks like but the only thing I can think of is to make sure you're not feeding per rev with no RPMs.

Love the tape!

Have you given it a smack?

That usually worked on the old acramatic 850's.
