I have decided to attach a file to show you what I am getting. Superman - If I put the call after the M02 it doesn't read it. I could write a book after the M02 and the control could care less. ...

Hey everybody was just wondering what the service time is for Haas to decide when to replace a ballscrew on a 8 month old VF-3 that was diagnosed 6 weeks ago. We can only use half the table and when...

Cowpoke have you gotten this figured out or would you still like help. Check your plunge parameters if I understand you correctly this should help out.

Yes sounds like you are on the right track there haas man. I just want to be sure I am on the right track before tearing into it when I have the chance. It does on occasion sound like the solenoid...

Hey everybody could use a little help in diagnosing a problem I have been having with a 2000 vf0. The little bugger will run fine for weeks and then all the sudden I get Alarm message 291 Low air...

Karl_T - The material is very hard and I am certain it would eat the tool in a heartbeat even if I increased the...

Geof thanks for the reply. Yes I had thought of that. I will try that on the next run on those little &%$& of a part. I also though that as hard as the steel was it would take but a part or two to...

I have a 2004 VF-3 with the pcool nozle. When adjusting it up or down it will at no specific interval return home then come back down to the tool. What could be the cause?
