Chapter 8 - Troubleshooting
8-2. Problems with Operation
Data is sent but there is no operation.
◆ Close the spindle cover tightly. When the cover is open, there is no operation at all except for control using the movement
buttons, and an error message is displayed. If closing the cover securely does not resolve the problem, then thoroughly clean
away any cutting waste from around the spindle.
◆ Make sure the machine is not paused. If the display shows the message [Pause ON], it means the machine is paused. Press the
[ENTER/PAUSE] button to release the machine from the paused state.
◆ Make sure the connector cable is the correct type. For a serial connection in particular, connection using a straight cable such as
a modem cable will not work. Use a suitable cable for your computer, such as the XY-RS-34 from Roland DG Corp. (or the
equivalent).
◆ Make sure the connector cable is free from faulty contact or broken wires. If you're using a printer switch or the like, try
disconnecting it.
◆ If an error message appears on the display, also take a look at "Responding to an Error Message" on p.128.
Abnormal cutting is performed.
The machine tries to perform cutting-in at an abnormal depth, and eventually a motor error occurs.
◆ Go to the [OTHERS] submenu and set [AUTO Z CONTROL] to [OFF]. This setting should be set to [ON] only when the lock
nut has been loosened in order to use a nose unit and diamond scraper. In all other cases, be sure to set it to [OFF].
◆ If [AUTO Z CONTROL] is set to [OFF], then set the Z0 position (the Z-axis origin point) at a suitable position.
The machine tries to cut with no rotation of the spindle.
◆ Go to the [OTHERS] submenu and set [REVOLUTION] to [ON].
◆ Depending on the program, it may be possible to make a setting that keeps the spindle from rotating. Try checking the program's
settings.
Unusual operation or erratic symptoms occasionally occur.
◆ Make sure the connector cable is free from faulty contact or broken wires. If you're using a printer switch or the like, try
disconnecting it.
◆ If an error message appears on the display, also take a look at "Responding to an Error Message" on p.128.
Pressing the Z-axis Origin Set button does not display the menu.
◆ Go to the [OTHERS] submenu and set [AUTO Z CONTROL] to [OFF]. When this is set to [ON], the Z0, Z1 or Z2 cannot be set.
This is done to prevent danger and help ensure safety.
The cutting position is different from the intended location.
◆ Make the setting for the home position. The cutting position changes according to the home position. For more information, see
"Setting the Reference Point for the Cutting Position" on p.56.
The sound of the rotating spindle is unusually loud.
◆ The cutter holder, tool securing screw, or collet is loose, and the cutter is out of control. Tighten securely.
An error message is displayed.
◆ See "Responding to an Error Message" on p.128.
