The belt is probably riding on the flange. Look to see if the belt is riding on one side of the spindle motor pulley.

Do you have the live tooling high torque option on your machine?

They are always improving on feedback from people like you.

A ballbar on your machine will catch any issues that you have with your axes. It's one of the best tools you can have to verify what your machine is doing .. the spindle needs a different tool ... an...

Maybe a setting that you can enter 1 or 2 for how many times to hit next tool button in order for it to activate .. ???

hit the z button twice (zz) then single axis return

Good observation ... what are those design engineers thinking? lol(chair)

not good advice of blocking it down using the spindle ... unless you want to damage the bearings in it. You'll brinell the race. See how much a shipping bracket from Haas cost?

Scales if you need to hold very tight tolerances.
The VM3 is a good machine. It has the 12k spindle with 6mm pitch ballscrews instead of the SS models which have the 12mm pitch screws. The machine...

Buy the Haas. TM-3 is a good machine. The Haas control is one of the easiest to use in the industry. The control is basically the same for all of their other models too. So .. when its time to buy...

Did you look at the breaker and make sure it says 10 amp .. sometimes they mix things up and send you the wrong stuff

I would ask for another breaker or another pump. One of them is causing the problem .. you should not have to settle for using the smaller pump

10 amp .. the smaller pump is 3 amp

Ryan .. new TM? Lets us know all about the good and bad experience on your new machine. Here to help.

It gets the higher rated breaker for high flow pump. Change the breaker.

The belt can be too tight or too loose if it is making a lot of noise and if it is riding on the pulley's retainer ......

what year is your SL-10?

If you turn off your thermal comp .. there is a paramter 229 that is used in conjunction with thermal parameter ... Call your service tech about what to change it to if you turn off the thermal

What's nice is that there is a spec and picture of the pull stud on front of the machine .. at least there should be.

Vern -

I trust, but must verify. Did you get any new tooling or pull studs lately?

Make sure you have the correct pull studs.

I remember something similair to this; where the person used...

Use this only to check the switches ... If any adjustments need to be done .. leave it to the tech ... that way he is responsible. : )

also have him check parameter 64 is set correctly too.

Vern -
As I was reading this again .. it sounds if the spindle did not release the tool when it was suppose to. Have the tech check the tool release piston switches. There is a procedure he can do...

Damn grimlins. Yes, please let us know what it turns out to be.

Did you do anything different when the machine crashed .. pushed feed hold, anything that would maybe contribute to it not functioning correctly. Did the tool stick in the spindle. If that tool was...

Go with Haas. They have a deal for schools.

You must have something wrong with your machine .. parameters or something.

You should do this after warm up of machine
