Problem solved!

If someone does the repairs them self don't attempt a tool change or use the system start up button once you get the machine back together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. When you remove the...

Think the problem was found, won’t officially say so until the repairs are complete and the machine is making chips. I hope this info might help others! I have the head disassembly procedures if...

I replaced the whole pump assembly with a known good assembly the machine ran most of the day then alarmed out. After the alarm I by-passed the pressure switch the spindle ran and the machine did not...

Hi everyone,

We have a VF 6 that runs for about 4 hours then alarms with “179 Low Pressure Trans Oil Spindle oil is low or low pressure condition in lines.” After the initial alarm the machine...

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know what video format HAAS uses? Is it EGA or CGA? My oscilloscope is down cant run a trace on the feeds.

I’m guessing it’s some type of TTL and not analog?

Thanks,...

Hi Guys,

I’m having some problems with a 480V three phase rotary air compressor, the compressor keeps blowing a single time delayed fuse. I was performing a quick and dirty ohm test on the motor...

Hi Dave,

Not sure what year your machine is or what controls?

I have a 1992 Mycenter1 with Fanuc OMC 6 controls and with a forth axis. I can send you a complete copy of factory parameters and a...

Unfortunately, the drive on the same machine keeps failing. None of the VF3’s have the vector issue but they all have their own unique problems per machine.

If I buy another drive it would be the forth that was replaced in 6 or so years!

Hi,

I have a VF6 and the vector drive on it's way out would it be posible to get a copy of the schematic? It would be most helpfull.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi,

We have a VF3 with coolant through the spindle and have been having issues with a hum from behind the spindle head with an unclamp alarm. I replaced the pre-charge solenoid and cleaned things...

I use both BT40 and CAT40 the only difference is the spindle dog slots on the holder. Think on the BT40 holder one dog slot is shorter also on our BT40 spindle machine the CAT40 holders go in one...

We have a VF3 with intermitting tool unclamp alarm. The machine will run fine then all of a sudden it will alarm while the tool is cutting or sometimes if the machine is doing a tool change,...

I recently purchased a couple of machines that came with the works including stuff I’ll never use.

I have an Autoblok precision 7” vise brand new never used still in the box and a couple of brand...

The alarm "254 Spindle motor over heated" is all set as well. Disconnected the sensor and cleaned the connections the alarm cleared. Thanks for your help guys the machine is back running making chips!

Ok think I found the problem a lose connection to the solenoid not sure but how ever, i'm getting a new alarm 254 Spindle motor over heated. I Found the temp sensor connection unpluged it and...

The alarm reads “unclamp” I removed the covers to the head and when I place my hand on the solenoid and valve you feel a mild vibration. I disconnected the solenoid the hum is still there, when I...

Recently I purchesed a couple of machines and they came with tooling I'll never use .

Hi Guys,

We have a 1997 VF3 that was crashed pretty hard, Z rapid move and 4" shell mill right into a part. Does a striped down VF3 have a transmission? I was under the impression gear heads only...

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the tips! The monitor transplant was a success and the machine purrs like a kitten. Would anyone have a schematic for the monitor PSU? Otherwise my plan is to reverse...

Not sure how much you are familiar with Kitamura's apologies.

The second limit remove switch should be held on to disable the second limit switch. Set the axis switch and move the axis with the...

Yes it's the amber text CRT style. The machine runs fine and will run programs no problem.

After the machine is powered on for about three hours the graphics shift to one side and then the monitor goes blank. My thoughts are there is a bad compacitor somewhere if so where? Has anyone else...

Hi All,
Hope everyone had a good x-mass and new year. So been plugging away at re-aligning the turret and made an interesting discovery, it looks like the turret or head never moved. The whole...

Apologies for responding late. Ok so I loosened all 6 bolts pulled the pins (easy to remove) had the turret aligned perfect. Once I finger tighten a single bolt the turret goes back to being 0.003...

Hi,

I have a HITEC-TURN 20/20-600 that I crashed and was wondering if you had a procedure to re-set the turret?

Thanks,
