All pics are good

And appreciate the effort for the drawings, if any costs are incurred let me know and I can paypal you.

I opened the cabinet door of the machine and found the original set up files in paper tape version.
All the set up variables are there. Everything..

But all in tape. So wont be using that.
I will sell the Sinumerik unit as coming from a working machine.
Will post photos of the tape

What year and model is the Chiron you have?
Hood

The machine I have is the FZ12S made in 1987 and tested in 1988.

Same year and model as mine

Probably stood next to each other at the factory.
Mine has the commissioning agent signature in the middle of the panel above the VSD

I am trying to scan the manual, but the email section of the printer isn't working. Wish they did manuals like that for all new machines.

My machines number is 101-36, any idea of yours?

I tried to get a manual from Chiron but drew a blank, would be great if you could get me the mechanical drawings, but if not its no problem.

Mine is 102-92.

So just a few machines apart.
I will get the manual scanned as soon as the machine is fixed.

I also want to keep a copy with me to look at.

A Ralf Fleck from Chiron DE is going to register me as a end user, so hope this helps in getting support in the future.

Chiron UK seemingly contacted Chiron Germany and they said there were no spares available for my machine with the exception of release fingers, or something like that. What they are I am not sure.

If you get a chance to look at the drawings could you see if it has the bearing numbers for the ends of the ballscrews please. My X axis has a bit of backlash (0.02mm) and I am thinking it will be the bearings, the Y has under 0.01mm backlash and Z doesnt seem to have much at all.


Does your toolchanger have the lower cover? mine just has the steel upper part and I dont really know what the lower part looks like.


Hood

My machine also has a missing cover on the bottom.

The surond for the tool changer is there.

I have all the cylinders on the bench and want to test for air leaks.
