I have a LB15, 1985 edition.
Been struggling to get this machine going for a year now..

When i have OD set on the panel for closing on a part, it will error out, the open/closed diodes are not lit. So i assume a proximity sensor is not getting engaged.

When i have it set to ID clamping, i can hit the Open pedal, it will light up the Open diode, and close the chuck - as expected. And vice versa, this mode works.

First thought i had a faulty switch - so now changed all the switches to new ones in the panel - same behavior still.
So where is these proximity normally located? I have tried both with a collet chuck and a normal SMW Autobloc chuck - both shows the same behavior. They close and open in the same direction so i cannot really work the machine as is.

Do anybody know?! Are they the same kind of those roller/arm type somewhere like on the gearbox (found them, thought they were for the pul tube - i was wrong).
Or are they more of a proximity style modern like needs to have a piece of metal adjust to "wave in front of it" or something?!
