    we have 3 VF2's and 2 of them have had a similar problem, it was a few years back now but from memory it was the locking screws on the pully, the 1st machine to do it was just delivered new about 1 week old and they didn't put 1 of the screws in and then the next machine the screw for some reason had backed out it wasnt moving much but it was enough to make a crunch when it went wrong.., the tech replaced the screws and used locktite now they are spot on.

    Just to let everyone know what our problem turned out to be.

    Both pulleys were severely worn. The teeth were about 1/4 of their origional height on both the encoder and spindle side. Once we replaced both, no more problems!
