Machine info: Brown & Sharpe one 7.7.5, FB2 controller, PH10T head with TP20.
This error code popped up on second shift the other day. I was out so I told the operator to just leave everything as is and do something else. I stopped by the next day, cleared the part off the table, shut the machine down, shut down PC-DMIS, turned the machine on, did machine start, started PC-DMIS, and homed the machine. Everything operated as it should so I shut everything back down and went home.
I come in today, turn the machine on, do machine start, start PC-DMIS, home the machine, calibrate tips, run the program again. I've got six or seven parts inspected so far without any errors.
A little background on the program we're running. We have 9000 parts to inspect in the next few months. We're 800 parts in. The program starts with a skippable read point alignment followed by the rest of the program, ending in a clear spot. The point being once the first read point alignment is done you skip it with a YES/NO question and the program executes on it's own. The part is glued to a 1x2x3 block that is positioned to pins in the cheese plate. We've run about 600 parts in this same position on the table.
I worry that running so many parts in the same position is causing some undo wear.
This is the first time this error has come up, and the first error I've seen on this machine that wasn't user error since I was hired in March.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Something I can inspect myself?
This is what I found searching online: "Error of the digital count signals: switching gap of the count signals too narrow."
Thanks for the help.
