I have a new to me Hardinge T42 lathe that I am having issues with the zero return procedure. I am hoping to get some help with an issue I am having.
I am able to get the machine to move to the "stop on its own" position but when I hit X+ button to send it to the switch to set zero it stops immediately with a 1006 x/z lmtr/tlstk breakway. Looking in the parameters indicates a X axis fault. I jog the machine's x-axis until the bit goes from 0 to 1 indicating the clutch re-engagement. There is no audible clunk when it re-engages like the manual and the posts indicate there should be. Once cleared I can jog around a bit but when I go to set the x-limit I have the 1006 error again.
It seems to be the clutch is not re-engaging or the switch is not functioning (possibly switch alignment). Thoughts on this? Trouble shooting procedures? I haven't tried the 2x4 as that was specifically called out in the manual for the Z axis.
As far as I can tell the machine hasn't been crashed, or rather the x/z turret surfaces are in alignment (within .0005")
I referenced this previous post as it seemed relevant.
