Detailed tool loading and automatic tool changer information is
included in Section 3 of your Owner’s Manual. This addendum
describes additional safety features and the tool changer error
detection and reporting system.
While the Z-axis is involved in changing a tool with the tool
magazine under the spindle, the Rapid Traverse rate is set to a
maximum of 100 IPM. (The parameter page may be used to set the
rapid traverse less than 100 IPM.)
The microcomputer tests the various electrical sensors and limit
switches to determine what state the tool changer is in. If,
during tool changer operation, the microcomputer detects an
incorrect state or state change, an EMERGENCY STOP condition
will result with the message " TOOL CHANGER ERROR nn ". " nn "
is an error code, which indicates the reason for the Emergency
Stop Condition. This two-digit error code, in almost all cases,
identifies the particular limit switch.
Scroll down until you find your Error Code.
This page covers the following codes
>> 84 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 25 27 06 07 26 <<
ERROR CODE: 84
" Arm back " not detected, or both " arm front " and " arm back
" was detected.
1) Checked when axis is calibrated, jogged or moving in the auto
program mode.
2) Checked when spindle manual control is exercised.
3) Checked in auto tool changer mode.
ERROR CODE: 60
The current tool number is zero (0) and there is a tool in the
spindle.
ERROR CODE: 61
There is a tool in the tool magazine at the current tool number
location.
ERROR CODE: 62
During a tool change while the Z-axis is moving, the spindle
must be unclamped or the error code is displayed.
ERROR CODE: 63
Once the "shot pin" solenoid is energized during a tool change,
a check for the "shot pin in" limit switch is made for the rest
of the tool change. If this limit switch is not seen, the error
code is displayed.
ERROR CODE: 64
While moving the tool magazine arm in to "get a tool" or "put a
tool" in the spindle, during tool change, a check is made for
the "magazine-in-position" switch. If not detected, the error
code is displayed.
ERROR CODE: 65
(Applies to the MB - 1H only.)
Before the "shot pin" solenoid is energized, an orientation
speed check is made to determine if the speed is less than 60
RPM.
1) Checks for spindle reference input.
2) Checks for spindle speed less than 60 RPM.
* Any of the above can cause the error to be displayed.
ERROR CODE: 66
Before the "shot pin" solenoid is energized, a check for the
drive monitor signal (DM) is made. If not detected, the error
code is displayed.
ERROR CODE: 67
While the tool magazine arm is in (front), a check for the "arm
in" limit switch is made during any Z-axis movement. If not
seen, the error code is displayed.
ERROR CODE: 68
If the tool magazine is requested to rotate and no rotation
takes place, the error code will be displayed.
ERROR CODE: 69
If the tool magazine is rotating and a non - sequential tool
number is detected, the error code will be displayed.
Each time a normal tool change function is performed, a check
for that function's limit switch is performed. If not detected,
one of the following errors will occur.
ERROR CODE: 25
"Shot pin" in; "Shot pin" out; Same limit switch.
ERROR CODE: 27
Drive monitor (DM) off.
ERROR CODE: 06
Arm pivot in.
ERROR CODE: 07
Arm pivot out.
ERROR CODE: 26
Spindle "clamp;" Spindle "unclamp;" Same limit switch.
