I recently purchased an Excel with a Fanuc OT. Ive worked with a Fanuc OT years ago, so I have a little knowledge with it, but Im still refreshing myself.
Ive set the tool and roughed a part with no issues.Geometry page and work shift page lets me make entries with no issues. Press X or Z, then Num, then Input, ect. Works fine on the on all pages EXCEPT the Wear page. When I hit input, it doesnt enter or change the number. It just sits there. The entry doesnt disappear either, unless I hit reset. Ive tried to enter several different numbers, even as small as .001, thinking maybe it had a parameter that wouldnt let you make bigger entries, but none worked. Any ideas?
And I have yet to get the measure button to work either, but I dont even need that right now. Im just rough parts to assist the other lathes, till I have some confidence in the machine. I did read the other thread that gave detailed on instructions on how to set tools with measure, ect. but didnt workout for me. Im probably doing something wrong, but like I said, its not a huge concern at the moment.
