Hi,
First of all Wish you all a Happy New Year! Hope you can help me out with a problem I am having with an old Victor TNS-2 Fanuc 10T-A 1988 Lathe, which is working perfectly, its in very good condition..
only problem I have is that I am not able to Activate the Hydraulic Tailstock, not sure of the procedure.
By the way, Tailstock quill switch is working fine!, There is a Switch Tailstock Body Retract and Advance, which doesnt do anything on the main OP panel.
Maybe im needing an M-Code?, or the turret must be in an Exact position?
Its a positioning type Tailstock with a Hydraulic pin that engages with the turret, and there is a larger hydraulic piston that clamps into the Guideways.
There Is a total of 4 Endstop switches which I recently replaced with Originals.
-2 Switches for the correct positioning of the Turret so that the Tailstock engages with the Pin.
-2 Switches that feedbacks that the Pin is either retracted or in Position and is engaging the Turret.
Tailstock Quill works fine, Im also able to activate everything via the Solenoid valves manually.
Anyways,it just occured to me that Im going to check the relays today, and if I find a solution, I´ll write it up here.
hope you can help me out!,
regards!
