Hi, I new to this forum so hopefully I'm in the right place and asking the right questions.
I bought a supermax max-4 rebel VMC with a fanuc series 18M control a while ago but I've never been able to get it running. The machine did not come with any manuals and I would like to purchase some if anyone on here could help me out or point me in the right direction that would be very much appreciated.
I am really struggling to figure this out without the manuals but here's what I do know;
1, When I start it up (main switch at the back) all the fanuc drives power up & don't seem to be in alarm status and there is power in various other places in the main control panel but the main contactor does not pull in.
2, When I power on the control the alarm tab shows 1005 ATC NOT READY and 1029 SP TOOL CLAMPING FAILED. The message tab shows 2003 LUBE LEVEL/PRESSURE ERROR. I cannot clear any of the alarms with the reset button.
3, All the lube levels are topped up to max and the air pressure is at 110psi going into the machine.
4, The main lube pump works when I press the red manual button at the back but I've not heard it running any other time.
5, Tool clamping functions when I toggle the solenoid valve manually.
6, It's an umbrella type tool changer if that makes any difference.
I'm definitely not an expert but I do have a few years experience running supermax machines although that was around 10 years ago. My experience with fanuc though is zero so for all I know I may just not be pressing the right buttons!
Thanks in advance for any help
