Hi, We're having issues with our mydata tp9 pick'n place. It doesn't go all the way down on the tool, so it can't pick it up or install it. The fault code I get when trying to install tools is F-TLMN-18: Can't reach tool bank. Any ideas? I've comp

To narrow down the cause. Have you test it on all your tools? If only particular tool(s) having issue, then it might be tool that's having the problem.

Yes, for all tools... The tool head stops just above the tool

I've checked the locks in the service program and the solenoids move when told to.. also I can see them opening when going to pick up a tool..

That error points to a hardware issue. When it fails does it ask you to insert a tool manually?

It is probably one of the Z lock solenoids not working properly. These are located along the Z axis and as part of the initiation of the machine, the Z measure the travel. Check the upper and lower Z locks

when the machine initiates the last move it does is in the Z axis. If memory serves me, during the last Z move it drives down and measures the stroke, if the lower solenoid is not fully retracted the axis measures the wrong travel limits. Hopefully t

You mean that the problem could be that the solenoid retracts but not all the way?

The solenoids seem to work properly and there are no problems when initiating the Z-axis

Correct, if the Z comes into contact on it's downward stroke during init this can cause the problem you are seeing
