Hello all.
I purchased a Hardinge CHNC II from a local auction about a year ago, got it set and wired up and it powered up and ran fine.
It has sat for about a year without being touched. This past weekend I fired it up, and I keep getting this alarm message: 'SV008' - X Excess Error (Stop) Alarm
After some investigating (removing covers, etc...) I noticed when jogging the x-axis, it stutters, and I believe this is what is tripping the alarm, something mechanical.
I have topped all of the oil reservoirs off, removed the bellows on the back, and the ballscrew is shiny and oily from what I can tell.
When moving the x-axis on the forward side with an allen wrench in the end of the ballscrew shaft, I feel some resistance and what feels like 'steps', could be the cog belt.
I am a little gun shy about pulling the servo/belt to see if the isolated ballscrew still hesitates.
I have researched this website and other forums and have found myself stumped.
Has anyone had this issue before? Any ideas?
I am more than happy to let a professional look into this issue. Any recommendations for machine tool repair in the Kansas City area?
Thanks in advance.
