This RFQ is now awarded and closed. Thank you all for your estimates.

Looking for a quote for the attached drawing. QTY is 100 pcs, material is DOM steel tube, 1" OD x .25" wall. Just need the parts cut to size, faced, and a slight edge chamfer. No need to machine...

Thanks to all who quoted! PO has been sent.

File attached, QTY: 100 pcs, 6061 alum, looking for a 4 week turnaround but can work with a longer time frame. +/-.005 is good but am flexible on that as these are not precision parts. Let me know...

I actually resolved this issue, the TSC pressure switch was bad. Put in a new one and the TSC works like a charm. You are supposed to have the coolant come on first before the spindle starts....the...

It seems I have a self adjusting regulator.....as of yesterday I lost all air coming through the precharge regulator. Was able to adjust it again but it keeps changing. I will be replacing the...

2007 VF3SS just installed a few weeks ago.....looks like inherited the previous owners problems. Ive sorted out a lot of issue and now I am trying to use the TSC. My programs are posted with the M88...

I seemed to have solve the issue by adjusting the pre-charge regulator. The pressure was set way too high causing the tools to push out from the pre-charge. I set it to roughly 5 psi and everything...

Its Monday again, time for another one of our machines to have issues. This time its our 2007 VF3SS that we just installed a few weeks ago. Its been running fine up until today, it has jammed...

Thank you, ill give that a shot next time! The machine has been powered on since and we have had no issue.

Thanks for the input! Did you just have to clean the connections for the servo motor cabling or did you clean limit switches and other stuff? Glad you got your issue sorted out!

Is your machine functional or do you have a work around like we do? Ill let you know what my HFO suggests, they will probably want to send someone out.

I swapped the X & Y drives and the problem was still with the Y axis so that pretty much eliminates the amp. I pulled back the cover and with the estop on I was able to rotate the ball screw fairly...

I have a 2001 VF3 and when I home all axis's I get an alarm 104 Y axis servo too large. In the past we could normally restart the machine a few times and everything would eventually work, not so much...

Quote has been filled, thanks to everyone who submitted a bid!

Thanks for looking, yea a bit more than I want to spend but it could always be used as a backup if Im in a pinch.

Although they have everything in the world they don't have this exact spacer......ive checked haha. Thanks for the input though.

Hello,

Im looking for a quote to have the attached spacer machined. Should be a pretty simple lathe part, you can purchase 1" OD x .25" DOM steel tube which is a perfect size. The material just...

Just an obvious tip for anyone doing the job in the future, its so much easier to stand inside the machine and pop your head up between the tool changer and enclosure versus trying to lean over the...

Just finished the job and everything went well, replaced all 3 sensors. Been up and running for a few hours with no issues. Thanks everyone for their help!

Glad you got it working.

My switches are due in today so Im going to tackle the job tonight when everyone goes home. Hopefully I dont run into any issues!

So getting the jam nuts off is easy but whats the best way to get the sensor itself out of the side of the cam box. Im assuming it was originally put in with thread sealant. Being that its round...

Those part #s were good, I just ordered the other 2 switches.

I dont think the cam box oil has even been changed as I am the 2nd owner so its probably good to do it while I can. Ill certainly...

I actually just saw that post as well, ironic that another person is having the same issue as us the same week lol.

After speaking with my local HFO we did narrow it down to the motor stop prox...

Hello,

I have a 2001 VF3 that just recently starting getting alarm 627 (Generated by the side mount disk type tool changer if the tool arm failed to move within the time specified by Parameter...

Does anyone have any experience or tips on removing the large pulley from the gear box? I have a 2001 VF2 that we just pulled the gear box out to fix shifting issues and I want to replace all the...

Yea once I get some downtime Ill try to swap the encoders but for now Ill just let it go. Thanks again for all your help!

Just curious, whats the max spindle RPM fluctuation you should see on the display screen even under a heavier load? Im seeing as much as +/- 7 RPM change when at 50%+ spindle load. Maybe that's an...

So I replaced both pulleys and the belt and unfortunately the noise is still there. Im not too confident that the encoder motor is the problem so I probably wont bother pulling one from another...
