Hello,
I've been running the Arrow 1000 for few years and last week while face milling an aluminum part it popped out of the vise and craw-bared the spindle. Lucky the drive belts were the weak point and except for the face mill damage everything survived.
However, now I have an issue with the door interlock. It stays closed and I have to manually open it with the manual override on the switch box to run a program.
When the spindle crashed there was an overload alarm from the spindle drive. After the belts replacement, the machine homes and runs programs but the door interlock stays closed. I also noticed that there is no relay click every time the axis is manually moved with the buttons that used to happen before. It feels like some sort of "ready" signal is not getting somewhere.
I had intermittent door lock issue before but it gone away after the EPROM battery on the RT board died and had to be reflashed. I'll try reseating all the control boards but suspecting that the problem is somewhere else and maybe related to the drives somehow. I tried reloading drive parameters but no change.
Looking for suggestions.
Thank you.
