TOOL #1 SENSE SWITCH
The tool rotation turret has a switch that is activated when tool one is in position or facing towards the spindle. At POWER ON
this switch can indicate that tool #1 is in the spindle. If this switch is not active at power-on, the first tool change will rotate
the turret until the switch engages and then move to the selected tool. The diagnostic display will show this status of this
input switch as TOOL #1. A 1 indicates that tool #1 is in position.
SHUTTLE IN/OUT SWITCHES
[Tool Changer Holding Plate (2)]
Two switches are used to sense the position of the tool changer shuttle and the arm that moves it. One switch is activated
when the shuttle is moved full travel inward and one is activated when it is full travel outward. These switches are normally
closed so that both will be closed between in and out. The diagnostic display will show this status of this input switch. A 1
indicates the associated switch is activated or open.
TRANSMISSION HIGH/LOW GEAR POSITION SWITCHES
[Bottom of Gearbox Assembly (2)]
On the VF-1, VF-2, VF-3 and VF-4, there are two switches in the gear box used to sense the position of the gears. One switch
indicates HIGH by opening and the other indicates LOW by opening. Between gears, both switches are closed indicating a
between-gear condition. The diagnostic display shows the status of these switches and the CURNT COMDS display shows
which gear is selected. If the switches indicate that the gear box is between gears, the display will indicate No Gear.
NOTE:
The Transmission High/Low Gear Position Switches are located at the bottom of the Gearbox Assembly and are
extremely difficult to reach. Removal of this assembly is necessary to replace these switches. See Mechanical Service, for
Spindle Motor and Transmission removal.
