Hi, Did you manage to get the pin data ? I have a manual listing the procedures but no cable details

Thanks for your nice letter, I am sure its interesting not only for myself to hear about people living far away from here.
I get a lot of mail from machineshop people in India and I wish you good luck with selling your book.
I am from Germany, I learned the trade of skilled machinist there, but that was well before anyone ever dreamt of CNC.
I did all my CNC learning in Chicago, I worked for a Swedish company that developed and exhibited its first CNC lathe control at the Cincinnatti Show in 1973, that was well before the name of Fanuc became predominant in CNC.
In about 1979 I started my career as a selfemployed CNC techer-educator and I have been at it ever since. I guess that makes me the world longest running, full-time CNC educator.
The Fanuc headquarter was in Chicago and later I did a lot of teaching and also re-writing of CNC manuals for them, but I never attempted to write a complete book like you did. Congratulations on that for you.
I put all my knowledge or at least the bulk of it, into the content of my CNC DVDs on my website.
Heinz.

EX alarm codes are usually set up by the MTB so I don’t know the meaning of this alarm. Do you have a MTB manual that you can find this alarm in with possible causes and solutions?

Hi
my first post well here goes
I have a cnc mill that I have converted to servo driven CNC unfortunately
we still need to do manual tool changes. I'm looking at putting an auto
tool changer onto it at some stage, but its on the back burner for the
time being.

The time consuming part of changing tools manually is resetting the
offsets, we thought about using a number of collet holders and just
changing between them, but it felt like the repeatability wouldn't be
particularly good.

So with a tool height gauge we can swap tools in the collet and
automagically measure the offsets, unfortunately they seem pretty highly
priced so I looked at making my own, and saw a number of contact probes
that people had made before (on here and else where) and decided to make
one specifically for tip measurement.

The best part is when we make the automatic tool changer we can keep using
this to take out any variance in the tool holder and also possibly look
for broken tools.
Anyway, here's my first attempt and I'd really like your comments.

Attachment 311
It has a steel button moulded to a base using polyurethane(orange colour)
as a spring. Insides and base will be added later.

The insides.
Attachment 312

The centre pin just below the wires is the base of the button with a 5mm
thread. The round pcb is epoxied to the inside the top of the body. The
triangle pcb is then pushed down on to the round pcb and tested for all
contacts. The metal triangle backing plate then is bolted to the base of
the button and epoxied to the triangle pcb. Into this is put a base plug
(9mm thick) that slide down onto the lip and protrudes out of the inside
of the body by a 1mm and has a 8mm thread for mounting. In the test one I
bolted it but in the final one this would be epoxyed in and total sealed
Exploded CAD view
Attachment 314

did some testing with this set up
Attachment 313
We are using glass linear scales for that .004mm measurement so it should hopefully reflect the real world
By driving the Y axis into the Z post we found the trip range was less
then 0.004 mm over 100 test cycles, it was also getting really cold really
fast while we were doing the test so that might have been affecting it, as
well this is with a 12 volt sense and 4mA current flowing, so there's
probably a fair amount of arcing (well at this scale anyway )
This one need about 1.5 kg to change states, in the final one I was look
at 0.5 kg

In the final version the button will be stainless steel and the body
aluminum along with the the base and a steel 8mm thread stud for
mounting.
The electrics will be gold plated pcb contacts with a better contact
design and circuitry so the voltage across the contact will be around 0.5volts
or less this will reduce any arcing on the contacts, I might have it boost the voltage up to 10 or so when its time to close the contacts again in the switch to help with wetting current/voltage, but being gold there shouldn't be much of an issue.
Also I'll probably fill the thing with argon before its all glued together for that belt and suspenders approach.
As for outputs I'm going to try and be as general as possible, so 5V ttl, differential RS458 say and an open collector output good for say 24v, unless you can think of some others?
Power will be 12V

Any thoughts? comments, suggestions?

Welcome to the group.

A few things. What model Fanuc are you using? This typically means 1 of 3 things (also could be more). Either your cable is not wired properly, your cable is not plugged in, or you have the wrong device selected on the control.

Let me know what model fanuc you have and I will get you the parameter settings for that control.

This is typically an easy alarm to get by unless you have RS232 port problems.

I don’t know the model control but I have attached a pinout of the cable I use for all my Fanucs.

Let me know,
