Is the function of a servo break only to stop movement when the servo is denenergized?
I have a 30deg slant bed lathe (microcut lt-65/fagor 8040 operating system)
My x axis servo seems abnormally warm and has started faulting on the control for axis overload.
Upon dismantling it it is evident the break is remaining engaged while operating (power on disengages break, power off locks up the mag break)
My question is does the break need to be working while the machine is running? What is my risks if I simply remove it? Is the worst case scenario that it would let the axis slide down when power is off? If that is the case I could just swap it with the z axis servo.... get buy until it's replaced
