What a morning...
i have a '98 VF2 vector drive VMC. Right in the middle of a tool change the machine shuts down....screen went black and all.....
replaced a blown fuse on the power board and fired it back up.....but, We got a 127 (no turret mark), 125 (shuttle fault), 160 Low voltage, and a 123 spindle fault alarm.
I manually shuttled the umbrella back and eliminated the 127 fault. I tried to reset the turret on the changer, but no dice. it is too tough to rotate by hand to get it to reset and a "reset" on the control does nothing either.
We also have a 102 fault (servos off)alarm. Looking inthe back, the servo drives power up for a second and then shut off again. the C-axis has a red fault light, but we are not using it at all.....and ideas on this?
We also have a low voltage fault, which in doing a voltage check, the lines are equal and correct for the voltage range the terminals are connected to.
The worst one that scares me is the dreaded 123 fault.
I read thru the posts for a spindle fault alarm and found some info, but not all.
The machine was running fine before. it wasnt even cutting nothing, all this happened during a tool change. i have another VFOE running right next to this one without troubles....
Whats the worst case on this? new vector drive? it looks like this may be the trouble from all the other posts with a 123 alarm. ...how much $$ is that?
how can i varify that my drive is bad?
My closest Haas rep is 3 hrs away, so i need to debugg as much as I can before i call them out.
thanks fellas....
