I have a VF 5 that has a high and low speed gearbox and runs at 10000rpm max, in low gear there is no noise. But when I run it in high gear only between 3000 rpm & 6000 rpm it makes a horrible noise. The funny thing is that when I use the spindle override and bump it up to 10% higher the noise goes away. the technician reckoned that one of the teeth on the high gear range was maybe chipped and that was what was causing the noise, but I am not convinced with his theory. Does anybody have a suggestion.

With our system being a closed loop system it is constantly ramping up and down. Your spindle encoder belt may be loose. Add some tension to your encoder belt.

Noise usually occurs in low gear not high. High gear is straight through. I would look for other problems than the gear box.

problem is definetly not caused by the spinle encoder belt. if you hear the noise you will agree with me

[Bryan33]

does the noise go away when you put a load on the gearbox in those rmps

Our machine with gearbox makes a strange chirping/squealing noise during certain RPM ranges, but much lower (like 1000-3500).

our HFO did quite a bit of analysis and back and forth with the factory before deciding it was because they switched to a cageless bearing in newer transmissions.

I thought it was BS as I'd never heard any Haas make that kind of noise (nor cageless bearing) but they offered to double the warranty on it so I gave up (this was after 2 transmission replacements to start with).

Use oil to the main axis..

I have MC108 Makino machine. High range speed not working. Low gear speed until 930 rpm working good and spindle leaking lubricant oil as well. Any suggestions??

Thank you
