Emco 1998 turn 55

upload it to google images or imgur. take pics of the turrent and all control boards also the control screen after homed.

we.tl/t-EVaMXLjjYz This link takes you to the images

First answer the following questions
Can you jog the machine?
Can you home the machine?
Can you get the spindle to run?

In detail explain all that you can do with the machine as is.

When you attempt to have the turret rotate is there any sounds buzzing or just silence?

Lets hope its operator error if not you will need to open the back of the lathe up and use a multimeter to start probing out the turret control board. If you are a student i would advise to get the teacher involved and if you school has a robotics team they may be able to help. I am attaching the electrical schematics for this machine see page 20 for the turret control board.

Read this document, about tool offset
forums.autodesk.com/autodesk/attachments...STRY%20and%20EDU.PDF

Here is all we know, we can run gcode. We can jog and reference the machine, we can do single blocks of code and a few tool offsets, the motor is working because wit is going a counter rotation to keep the turret in place, we can also move the spindle, every key under works on both the computer and machine keyboard, the only key that won’t do anything is the turret index and anything by we don’t have like blow on and off and such

if you manually turn the turret to be out of position / between tools will it set it to the correct position?
What happens when you try and follow the instructions i linked for tool offsets?

I would advise you to ask your question in the following places.
