Hey all!
I noticed a strange behaviour with my Fadal VMC10 today: when it's rotating the spindle to orient for the tool-change it is jerking between positions in roughly 90º increments, rather than rotating slowly and smoothly like it always has in the past...
Also when ramping up to speed after the tool-change the speed is kind of 'revving' (rising and falling) before finally rising to the correct speed. And running at a single low RPM (say 2K rpm) it sounds a little rough, like it is 'cogging' rather than rotating smoothly.
The spindle still feels smooth and normal when rotated by hand.
Anyone had a similar issue with a Fadal, or have any ideas as to what the issue might be?
Thanks in advance!
