    Y axis resolver/over temp faults

    Been awhile, been busy makin parts...until today.
    Machine is a 95 VMC 15
    Y axis was acting a bit weird, thought the heat was getting to it, so opened the cabinet to get some air to the boards. Never even had a chance to make any chips, as I would get a Y axis resolver fault/over temp fault. RE-set a few times, never would take.
    So I thought I would have a look see at the Y axis, and the motor is blistering hot, cannot holod my hand on the case for more than a few seconds.
    So are my fears that the motor is shot going to come true, or is their an somewhat easy fix?
    Thanks,
    Smitty

    So called my local FADAL pro, come to find out, when I set my HOME position, I set it at the limit of the Y axis, so when it is just sitting there, the servo is actually still pushing at the home spot, hence the insane heat.
    So, put it all back together, re-set the home position for the Y, backed it off a couple hun, and runs like a champ.
    Hope this helps someone else,
    Take care,
    Smitty
