got the new cambox installed and same alarm continued. I was sure to request the tech to run a tool change program before the arm was attached . Sure enough the alarm happened just like before b axis...

things get worse still. Now the shaft to the cam box is coming out. Arm wont line up with spindle. cam box end play is more than a 1/4". Called oxnard for a new cam box. No one will call me back,...

oil results are in. And the oil is clean no metal and with good viscosity . Call haas oxnard they dont have much to say. im guessing something is up with the cam box and i will plan to swap one out....

Well we hit rock bottom this easter weekend. Called a local repair guy out and he started changing parameters. And then the worst happened. The arm was out and the head came down. after recovery I...

made the change to parameter 308. no change.. got the the oil sample kit from blackstone.

made a call to oxnard . they said i can change parameter 308 for 1500 to 1800 to see if that fixes the issue. the newer software didnt have any signifigent changes.

when I power up the machine i get

this is a Tony Stewart machine.

Yes it has the z velocity draw bar move. at one point 5% rapid would cause an alarm every time. The haas tech changed 2 grid parameters and now we can do the tool change at 5%. We get no noises...

frustrated is an understatement. No they did not swap the I/O board. They claim the parameters are up to date. Now they say the gear oil in the cam box is old and is most likely the cause. They also...

So This weekend we got a b axis cable fault 195. wrong cable. Haas changed out all wiring for the servo on the cam box. Still having issues. I powered down and did a re start with no alarm. wtf

I think haas is giving up. Still having problems . Everything has been replaced. only possibility is the cam box at this point. And of coarse no one wants to adjust parameters. I think we are going...

i think thats correct

i wish we had a picture of the jumper on the IO. I see where there could be a few. Haas changed the servo on the cam box. And on fixy . Now they plan to change the harness.

yes I have tsc. I guess ive been doing it wrong. ill have to do a test. now i dont know how we post that bit of code. usally we want coolant flushing at 100% before we cut .

would a dead backup battery cause these issues?

i always start the spindle first. where does haas specify the order of spindle /coolant.
Thanks

They must be watching what we post or someone had burning ears. They called today and want to finish the job.

go to para 27 and throw a bigger number . note #26 is a big number (262144 on mine) . my Y is 56. I imagine you will have to go to the settings page and turn #7 off. And press E-stop to make changes...

update. No servo and no word from Haas. Its been 2 weeks. alarms are still happening.

having 3 spare servos qualifies one to rocker status. btw

Hey Mike, Are you rockin the smtc or umbrella?

every 200th tool change i get b axis too large and at 5% rapid i get the alarm 100% of the time. I have a post just below yours. HFO wants to replace the cam box servo. Some local guy recommended...

sounds like you have the same issue as me. I would really like to know how it works out. please keep us posted.

Hey Guys, Id like to display some variables ala macro assign 1 and 2. I currently have #5221 and 5222 G54 x and Y. I thought it would be nice to have the p values for g103 and g187 when surfacing so...

Heres a status update. When I left a voice message explaining my concern about the direction of the repair I stated " I have a budget to stick to". They took it as I have no money and left my machine...

I was the first person to power up this machine. All the options that came with the machine were off. That is why I assume parameters were reset/reloaded. Even the 9000 for the wips were removed. In...

Hey Gary, When I put the rapid down to 5% and do a tool change the arm comes out to the spindle and I get a 628 arm position error. Actual position looking at Vsmtc -68.298. 0 being origin. I also...

pressing F2 will put a negative in front of the value. Found that out by accident...

Ok Guys, I'm reaching out to the world because we have exhausted all local help ( Haas included). It appears that my 2009 vf2 had the parameters removed then reloaded , I believe the double arm needs...
