Today my 07 vf4 started tripping cb2, which is 10amp 115volt main xfrmr circuit breaker. There are no alarms from this. The power is killed to the spindle, all axis servo's and the controller. The machine wasn't under a heavy load when this 1st happened. It did break the end mill.
I couldn't get it to home all axis at first,(cb2 would trip), I had to do them by single axis return. Then as soon as I executed a S1000 M3 it tripped again. After about 30 minutes of wiggling and pushing in connectors in the electrical cabinet I decided to unplug the coolant level sensor and no more breaker trip. I even ran the machine for about 2 1/2 hours before it tripped again.
I called Selway and was told it could be the servo drives, the vector drive or any of the cables could have a short. Trouble shooting this could add ($$$) up quick.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any ideas?
thanks
