Anyone happen to know how to reference return the r axis on an mx520 with fanuc?

[Leon82]

It appears to be the spindle axis. 

 

The shop phone is down I figured i would see if anyone knows. We got a weird battery voltage zero alarm but the batteries seem fine. But we can't do anything untill this is reference returned

M19 ?  . careful I am shooting from the hip.

[Leon82]

Can't edit on alarm. These are in manual guide I all the time

 

It has a spot in the 1815 parameter but reverts back to zero after reboot

It's the tool magzine origin

Pot 1 needs to be at the tool change position when you set it

That's prolly a keep relay job then or a Mats specific recovery procedure?

[Leon82]

I battled it for an hour but I got it.

 

It's very hard to look at the pot straight. You have to set 3 keep relays and jog the magazine and check it then set 1815

And then I couldn't get the tool change recovery to put the pot up and down so I just used an m-29 in there and luckily I got it on the first try. So tomorrow I'm going to have to double check it to make sure it's nicely aligned

Well done!

It maybe worth double checking that Pot 1 is T1, pot 2 is T2 etc. Ie it hasn't got it's knickers in a twist?

I always loved the random nature of things you have to do to get tool changers homed out...  I will say though the best thing like this I ever had to do was homing the servo drawbar on the spindle of a Mori horizontal once.  You only had about 10 seconds of holding it in position at home before it would thermal out.   I don't remember the whole procedure, but it was a bear to do, and without the procedure from Mori, you weren't going to figure it out on your own in any reasonable amount of time.

My old shop the kitamura used a Viagra servo control for the atc and there was a window of time when you entered jog mode and could index the magazine. It was nice, not random the pot unhooked from the mag. Unfortunately maintenance mode would allow to drop the pocket completely from the tool changer into the machine.

 

I may have inserted it backwards and then proceeded to shear it off once
