    X axis Fault

    We have a Fadal VMC15 and are getting the following error at power up.

    X axis Fault
    Error #1
    Motor Overload

    We switched the X and the Y amp card and get the same message. What should we try next?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give us.

    I took the X axis resolver and swapped it with the Z and the problem went away. Switch them back and the problem comes back. Any body have any ideas?

    A new motor fixed the problem.

    The VMC 15 has DC servo motors. You can replace the resolver with out replacing the motor. The error code #1 means no feed back signal from the resolver to the controller card.
