Hello,
1998 Haas VF1, vector drive is only a few years old. Started the machine the other day and it will home, change tools no problem, orientation looks good so timing belt must be good. The problem is that when you turn on the spindle it will only do 200rpm and then it errors out in 30 seconds, the load meter says it is at max load.
I can use m42 and m43 to change from high to low speed, you can hear it shift and it requires much more pressure to turn the spindle by hand in low gear.
Any suggestions, I have been playing with it for a few days, no changes noticed, I believe I get a spindle error but I do not remember, it was not a remarkable error message, perhaps I will add that in the morning?
