Fault 86 – Turret Power Problem
This message will appear if the power is interrupted to the turret. It could indicate that no
power or low power is getting to the turret. Check that the Computer Module and AC
Drive/Motor (for the 8 Tool Turret) is receiving power.
Fault 87 – Turret Air Pressure Problem
This message will appear if the air pressure sensor senses low air or no air pressure. The
recommended air pressure for the turret is 90 psi. The air pressure should be 90 psi and no
more than 100 psi for the turret to work correctly.
Do not exceed 100 psi. This will void
the warranty on the turret.
Fault 88 – Turret Not Initialized
This message will appear if the turret does not know its present position. An example of this
would be if the turret stops in the middle of a tool change. An interruption of power or air may
cause this fault. Pressing the E-stop button can also cause this problem if the tool is not in a
known position. In order to initialize the turret, go to SETUP, TOOL GROUP, 4 or 8 TOOL,
followed by HOME turret.
Note: The air flow control fitting for the Turret clamp also plays a part in how long it
takes for the turret to finish the initialization routine. Thus the air flow control clamp
should be set to 2.5 turns from full open.
Fault 89 – Turret Time Out
This message appears if the turret does not get to position after a few seconds. This may be
caused by an internal problem inside the turret such as a broken gear or jammed component.
Very low air pressure may also cause this fault. It should take no longer than 2 or 3 seconds for
the turret to move between positions.
6.1.5 Turret Maintenance
It is recommended that the turret be lubricated twice a year after the first year. The worm and
worm gear should be lubricated with quality lithium based grease every 6 months after the first
year. Remove the side cover, top cover and stepper motor and grease the gears. When re-
mounting, ensure that the O-ring and side seal are intact so that no coolant can enter the turret.
6.1.6 Warranty Issues
The SWI turret is warranty for 1 year. If it is determined that there is a problem with the turret it
will need to be returned for repair. Control problems are warranted by Southwestern Industries,
Inc. for 1 year.
