I have a Hardinge GX480 APC mill that is driving everyone in the shop nuts. The machine has a Fanuc 0iMD control (horrible error trapping) that we try to run ten hours a day that is really fighting us. Back during the summer it would occasionally pause during operation (green operation button would go dark) and you would have to push the button again to make it start moving again. Now it is doing it A LOT and hurting productivity. This happens either before or after a tool or pallet change but never (yet) when it is in a cut. To restart it you have to push the green button.
Things we have done are clean the air filters (the one in the regulator is pretty rinky dink), go through the error logs (nothing showing up), sacrificed a bucket of chicken and some beer to it, and wiggled every contact and connection that I can find. Anyone have any ideas?
