ALARM HISTORY

MOST RECENT

ALARMS

Description:

The Most Recent Alarms feature allows the user to view the 20 most recent alarms that have occurred on the bar feed. This is helpful when determining what to look at as far as troubleshooting problems that have recently taken place, especially when the troubleshooting involves contacting LNS America, Inc. for assistance and the message has already been cleared.

On certain lathes, once the bar feed sends an alarm to the machine, the machine will in return send an emergency stop alarm to the bar feed which overrides any bar feed alarms. Once the bar feed alarm is overridden the only way to pinpoint the original bar feed alarm is to enter into the alarm history.

This menu is located HELP menu, to locate the alarm history follow the steps below:

Step 1: Press the HELP key on the remote control station at any time.

Step 2: Press the PAGE DOWN key 6 times.

Use the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys to scroll through alarms. The alarms are are listed with the most recent alarm being the first to appear to the 20th most recent alarm being listed last.

he Hydrobar Express 220 is designed to be a user-friendly, simple, and reliable bar feeder, covering a range of diameters 0.125” to 1.250” (1.250”-1.375” with bar end preparation). Although easy to use, including extremely quick changeovers and the capability for unmanned operation this unit is not flawless. A list of common issues that have been documented by service technicians and problems relayed back from customers has been compiled in this manual. This chapter discusses the most common problems that have been observed. Along with each problem, a brief description is given as well as

quick reference charts of symptoms/solutions, sequences, and procedures for adjustments, changeovers and alignment.

Low Voltage / PLC Shutdown

Description: The Hydrobar Express 220 uses a SAIA PCD2 controller (PLC) to send/receive inputs/outputs. The PLC is powered by a +24VDC input supplied by a transformer. The input supply voltage must be regulated to ensure proper functioning. The remote control station, which is used to send/receive data back and forth with the PLC, is powered by the +24VDC on the PLC.

Through the remote control station, the user can command the bar feeder to perform different functions by sending data to the PLC. The PLC will then transfer data back to the remote control station to either inform the user the status of what the bar feeder is doing or is waiting for the user to command the next task.

The following chart discusses possible problems, which may be occurring between the PLC and the remote control station:

Problem Possible Cause/s Solution/s

SPS No response

• The PLC toggle switch is not in the RUN position

• A sudden drop in the supply voltage has caused a communication problem between the PLC and the remote control station

• The battery was either removed or battery voltage was low while the bar feed was powered down which caused the PLC to lose its program

• Flip the toggle switch on the PLC to the RUN position

• Check the supply voltage on the PLC, can be low due to a low incoming 3 phase voltage from the lathe

• Check the battery voltage, if it is low it will need to be replaced with a 3VDC Litium/CD2032 battery and the program will need to be restored (refer to Chapter 4)

No operator action possible on the remote control station

• The PLC toggle switch is not in the RUN position

• Low supply voltage on the PLC

• Flip the toggle switch on the PLC to the RUN position

• Check the supply voltage on the PLC, can be low due to a low incoming 3 phase voltage from the lathe

Cannot Change Application Setup Parameters In order to change the values of any parameters in the bar feed, it must be in “STOP” mode. To determine whether the bar feed is in “STOP” mode, look at the “STOP” key on the remote control station. When the “STOP” key is pressed, two red LED’s will illuminate on either side of the remote.

In certain cases, as a precaution, the bar feed will not allow the parameters in the PARAMETERS RELATED TO APPLICATION menu to be changed unless a few conditions are met. The following conditions are required to change these parameters:

Guiding channels must be open.

Bar stock (if any) must be removed.

When removing the bar stock, the bar feed must recognize that the bar has been removed. In order for the bar feed to recognize that the bar has been removed follow the steps below:

Step 1: Press the manual mode icon.

Step 2: Press the remove bar stock icon. Note: If the remove bar stock icon is not present, skip the next step and go to Step 4.

Step 3: After pressing the remove bar stock icon, it will ask you to verify if the bar has been removed. Remove the bar from the

channel and pres and hold the confirmation icon. Step 4: Press the “STOP” key on the remote control station and proceed with changing the parameters.

Multiple Bars have been Loaded into the Channel Two bars loaded at a time

Cause Solution Incorrect bar stock diameter. Change the bar stock diameter parameter to the correct

size.

Top limiters are not set correctly and bars are bunching up on the loading ramp.

The top limiters should be set so that the bars can roll freely without the possibility of bars overlapping.

A bar was already in the channel and another was loaded on top

Cause Solution A remnant too long to be dumped into the remnant pan has

been confirmed that it was removed without physically removed. Perhaps during a shift change.

Remove the two bars from the channel and restart the loading process.

Front Rest Issues How the front rest works? The front rest is used as a guide source for the bar stock to transfer from the bar feed through the headstock. The rest also acts as an extended support for the back of the bar while the spindle is rotating. It operates using an electric motor which drives the “jaws” open and closed. There are three operating positions at which the rest will open/close:

“Home” reference position - this is a constant position at which the rest will open up completely to a zero-position which calibrates the rest. This position is determined by a mechanical setting which is detected by a fixed proximity switch (SQ8).

Bar stock diameter position - this is a variable position at which the rest will close down to approximately (.020”) over the bar stock diameter. This position is automatically calculated when the bar stock diameter parameter is entered in.

Guiding channel position - this is a variable position at which the rest will open up to the I.D. of the guiding channel inserts. The rest opens to this position in order for the pusher (since the pusher O.D. is greater than the bar stock O.D.) to be able to travel through the rest. This position is automatically calculated when the guiding channel parameter is entered in.

Symptoms of front rest mal-functioning Description Cause Solution

Front rest is locked in the “home” ref. position

The front rest has been manually locked open.

Mechanical obstruction has caused a front rest error.

Must be manually closed. Refer to pg. 3-35 Front Rest Override procedure.

Remove any debris which may have caused a mechanical obstruction.

Front rest is closing too tight on bar stock / pusher.

Bar stock diameter / guiding channel size has not been set correctly in the parameters.

SQ9 switch is mis-adjusted or defective.

Front rest is mis-calibrated (SQ8).

Check the bar stock diameter and guiding channel size parameters.

Chapter 2: Common Issues

HYDROBAR EXPRESS 220

Vibration Issues

The term “vibration” is being used regarding the Hydrobar Express 220, to indicate that the RPM performance of the lathe is physically deteriorated, to the point of creating an unbalanced rotational oscillation of the bar stock that is detrimental to the machining process.

Various items can cause the bar stock to vibrate, requiring the reduction of the spindle rpm to bring the anomaly back to a normal controlled rotation. These items can be related (but not limited to) the material, the lathe, the spindle reduction tubes, or the bar feed.

Material The material must be reasonably straight. LNS has a specification of .5mm / meter (non-accumulative).

If the material is a hot roll type it will not meet our specifications.

If the material has been “cropped” to length the last 6”-12” of the end of the bar may be unusable due to being bent severely in the process.

Note: Also, there is a possibility to have a severe angle on the end of the bar, which has been cropped. This might cause the mis-loading of a new bar into the collet of the bar feed.

When running profiled material (hex, square, etc.), vibration is more likely to occur due to the physical properties of the material, especially with extremely odd shaped material, in which case a lower rpm is recommended.

The composition of the material also has an effect on the guiding of bar stock. Steel and aluminum bars are relatively easy to guide, but because of the flexibility and specific weight of brass it is generally going to be more difficult to guide at high speeds.

Lathe The lathe should be level and on a solid foundation. LNS recommends that the lathe be bolted to the floor.

Spindle Reduction Tube Ensure that the properly sized spindle liner has been installed (matches guiding channel size).

Ensure that the spindle liner is straight (check total run out).

Ensure that the liner is securely fastened.

Bar Feed The bar feed must be within proper alignment to the spindle of the lathe.

The proper guiding elements should be used to provide minimal gap between the I.D. of the elements and the O.D. of the bar stock diameter. Should not exceed 10mm overall gap (5mm per side). Refer to pg. 6-4 Guiding Channel Reference chart for the recommended guiding elements and ordering numbers.

LNS recommends running ISO 100 hydraulic oil in the bar feed. In certain cases, a thicker oil (ISO 150) may produce better results when guiding profiled material.

Front Rest Override

Overriding the front rest can be used as a temporary solution if a problem should ever arise with calibration or misalignment. The front rest override parameter locks the front rest in the open position and allows the user to run any operation with the bar feeder until the problem can be corrected properly. However, there are disadvantages to running production with the front rest locked open. Excess vibration can occur during machining due to the absence of stabilization that the front rest would normally provide. Also, when loading a new bar, depending on how sturdy the bar stock is, there is a possibility of sagging or drooping between the end of the guiding channel and the back of the spindle. This creates a problem with transferring the bar from the bar feeder to the lathe because the front rest also aids in supporting and guiding the bar into the spindle. Disable Procedure Conditions: • The bar feeder must be in STOP mode. • The guiding channels must be open. Step 1: Press the MENU button on the remote station. Step 2: Press F4 (PAGE DOWN) function key to Parameters Related to Miscellaneous Functions. Press the F3 (ENTER) function

eriodic maintenance of the Hydrobar Express 220 bar feeding system can only serve to improve the operation and prolong its useful life. Following a few simple steps can be extremely helpful and takes relatively no time at all. The list of maintenance procedures has been broken down into four groups determined by the frequency with which each procedure should be followed, however, some items should be checked more often depending on the operating environment that the equipment is exposed. P

HYDROBAR EXPRESS 220

Daily Maintenance Verify the Air Pressure The recommended setting for operation with optimum performance should be at a minimum pressure of 5 bar (75 psi.) and a maximum pressure of 6 bar (90 psi.).

Weekly Maintenance Verify that the Air Decanter is Empty The air-filtering device is equipped with and automatic drainage valve, but depending on how much water is in the pneumatic circuit of the building, the water that is recuperated can build up faster than it can be drained. Excess water in the air lines can cause pneumatic cylinders to become defective. The water causes the o-rings inside the cylinder to swell up and no longer function correctly.

Hydraulic Oil Level When checking the level of the hydraulic oil, allow the bar feed to set idle for at least one hour so that the oil inside the coffin has time to drain back into the tank. If the oil is not allowed this time to drain back into the tank, the tank may look low, and if the oil is added it may cause an overflow.

Monthly Maintenance

Cleaning of the bar feeder Wipe down the outside of the bar feeder with a cloth and any regular detergent, for cleaning the inside of the bar feed use a cloth or brush. However, do not use the detergents on any of the guiding channels or any other parts made of synthetic materials. The use of compressed air for cleaning is not advisable, because chips and other particles can become lodged in sensitive areas and can impede the proper operation of the bar feeder.

Hydraulics Check the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil. It is important to wipe down the bars (even briefly) before loading them on the magazine rack. The bar feed recirculates the oil; excessive dirt and metal chips can form a deposit at the base of the coffin which can slow the oil return. The metal chips can also become lodged in the hydraulic pump causing the pump to lock up and/or the pump motor to overheat.

Rotating sleeves In order to guarantee the correct operation of the bar feeder, the rotating sleeve must function perfectly. Although the construction of the sleeve is very sturdy and reliable, it is recommended to verify periodically that it rotates without friction. If a defect should be present, please contact your local agent. This is a wear item and it is recommended to keep spares on hand, refer to Recommended Spare Parts List pg. 6-2.

Drive chain Over time, it is possible that the tension of the drive chain may loosen up. To tighten the chain, refer to Chain Tension Adjustment pg. 3-58.

Annual Maintenance Check the PLC battery The PLC backup battery saves the PLC program in case of any power failure. The battery used in the SAIA PCD2 is a non-rechargeable 3VDC Lithium/ CD2032 battery. Over time, the battery will slowly discharge and an alarm message will appear on the remote control station (Low PLC Battery pg. 1-22). The following chart shows the average life expectancy of the battery:

Recommended Spare Parts List

As an extended courtesy, a list of recommended spare parts has been compiled for the end user. The list consists of mechanical and electrical parts that over time may become faulty due to everyday wear on the item. For machines that are running production during multiple shifts or even 24/7, keeping an inventory of these spare parts can vastly minimize downtime. Keeping an inventory can also be very cost effective since shipping costs can escalate immensely, especially in cases where rush delivery is necessary.
