Howdy,
Just got this machine. Its been sitting for 10 years with no use. The controller boots up and everything seems to be okay with it.
It is giving us an A axis drive error (can't recall the actual alarm code). On this machine I believe that the A axis is the turret.
Been chatting with the HFO tech a little bit about it. At first we thought it was the solenoid that controls the turret moves. We replaced that with a new solenoid we got from Haas. That didn't help.
The Haas tech seems to think that the turret has got a crusty o-ring creating resistance and the machine doesn't like that resistance and will throw an error. He says that we should call a Haas Tech if we need to dig any further into that.
I would prefer to fix it ourselves. This forum has helped me fix a lot of things I wouldn't have been able to in the past.
What do you recommend?
Thanks for the help!
