Mori Seiki 603 Operator Manual
Mori Seiki 603
I tried to hit the turret index switch with the door closed and it did nothing. I tried to run the turret interference check using the manual pulse generator with T flashing in the handle display area and no movement.
When I first got to the machine and turned it on I wasn't able to use the mode select. I recycled power and tried after trying to manually turn the turret and the mode select worked. I also tried to manually move the X-axis and it wouldn't let me. What else do you think I should try??? Have you tried the above (linked) zero return procedure? No axis movement suggests a problem with the turret index or clamping or an incomplete index/clamp. The machine has an interlock condition that prevents any axis movement while the turret is rotating or has not completed it's index sequence.
The interlock can be disabled by changing a PMC parameter but it's generally only used for maintenance purposes. You can find those parameter numbers in your manual in the Electrical Circuit Diagrams & Ladder manual. The idea being that if the turret rotation sequence has not completed it is not safe to continue with the next operation (axis movement & cutting etc) You should have a light on the operator panel called TRCL (TuRret CLamp) Normally it should be on when the turret is clamped and working properly.
