We have a EC-400 (bought new in 2015) and we're having an issue with changing tools. The tools get stuck in the spindle and the tool changing arm can't pull out the tool. We've tried cleaning each tool holder and still have had the issue. There is no consistency on when it happens, different tools, tool locations, & times. We contacted Haas and they are not certain on what the issue is.
We replaced the spindle within the last year or 2. We use through-spindle coolant with Trim Sol coolant. We thought it might be the compressed air that we were supplying the machine with in the evening (we turn off our plant air compressor and turn on a dedicated reciprocating air compressor to run the machine in the evening), but it has happening during the day as well.
Any tips on where to start looking?
Thanks.
