Hi Craig, Roger
This is definitely an index problem, I cant see any other issue.
One thing that comes to mind was a long time ago before the ESS was installed or the servo spindle. I do remember that I could only get feedback from the index if I bypassed the bob and went directly to mach, Why? we never knew or found out.
Everyone is saying that at speed the GUI wont light up but at 50-100rpm it should come on every time without fail, it doesn’t, that’s not quick pulsing at all.
I am thinking that I might bypass the BOB and run the index pulse directly to the ESS Board, it might save the issue, or its the opto trigger itself, but I can see it activating the little led on the BOB next to where it plus in every time its triggered and at speed, for some stupid reason the signal is not getting through, hence my erratic start points and the only issue this lathe has.
How can I do this? Or should I do this?
Thanks
Katoh
