I have several of these Haas VMC's and one of them will do this on a very rare occasion. At the end of the day we will often times let the machine run after we leave, we set the " auto power off timer" in setting #1 to a value of 2 min. Once in a great while perhaps 2 or 3 times in a year, I will come in in the AM and the screen says "waiting" the spindle is spinning and the coolant is pumping and the program has stoped. If I push cycle start nothing happens, if I push feed hold it will function as if in single block, if I push position then program it will take off and finish the program. I find if I unplug the comm (RS232) wire off it will not do it. It thinks it is recieving something even though nothing is being sent? Haas has updateded the software twice. The machine is 5 years old now. Day before yesterday it ran all night again only this time the chip auger ran all night too and it wont start now unless I put a pipe wrench on the auger and help it start.
I called the Haas boys and asked if they had a fix for the auger motor or if I needed to replace it, he asked what happened to it and I explained, he is sending a new processor, auger motor and a service guy to change them, I reminded him the machine was 5 years old and he said it was not going to break them and they would take care of it.
So after all that wind, has anybody had the comm wire cause the program to stall? was there a cure?
thanks
