Hi there,
The machine is:
Fadal VMC-15
Model #: 914-15
Year of mfg: 1997
Spindle motor: Baldor 10HP, 3ph
Spec.: 37F71800073 X073 X173
Frame: 215TC,
Volts: 230/460
Baldor H2 Vector Drive purchased new in Oct. 2010.
I just fixed the X axis problem. It was a bad new axis amplifier. I bought from another source
and all the axis X, Y and Z now work.
Machine was not used for about 14 days.
I was going to start a new job.
I CS the machine – Success.
Then pressed the START – Success.
Entered MD – Success.
Because the machine did not work on the high speed range (for 5 years), I Issued S1500 and pressed START
to make sure that the machine is on the low range of speeds. - Success.
Issued M3 then pressed ENTER to start the spindle – Faliure:
Got the messages:
“EMERGENCY STOP – TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION
C AXIS FAULT(S) AS FOLLOWS:
ERROR NUMBER #9
SPINDLE FAULT LINE.”
Whats going on?
How to troubleshoot?
Did just my vector drive took nosedive?
