Trying to figure out why cycle start doesn't work on my Hitachi-Seiki HT23J. I had one problem after I moved it, The turret wouldn't index. Had a guy come work on it. He was here two days & didn't fix it. Next guy I called, Roger Schly talked to me on the phone several times over several months, finally got him to come look at it. He said the turret drive was bad & that he could fix it. He sent it back to me, I put it in & it did nothing except screwed up the IO board & made the machine make a loud clicking sound. I changed it back to the one that I knew worked when I had the machine running before I moved it. Then I had the first guy come back & undo everything he had done, thinking it was something he did. But he found that the IO board got fried. He changed it out with the one I have from a parts machine, and the clicking stopped. But now the cycle start doesn't work. The ladder shows it sending a signal, but the cycle start & the cycle start light doesn't work. I sent the fried IO board & the turret drive to Precision Zone to be checked out, & they said it would be over $1800 to fix the turret drive that Roger charged me over $1200 to screw up. And that there was a bunch of bad soldering done on it & other stuff that Roger Schly did wrong. I had the guy at Mori-Seiki that referred Roger to me come look at it, & he had the turret issue fixed in 30 minutes.
The cycle start problem has to be something simple. There are no alarms or messages & everything else works. I obviously can't MDI anything or start a program.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what would be causing this?
