I am usually one to suggest calling Haas 1st...but have a bit of time before they open and being Monday I expect a tight schedule to be fit in...
Anyway this started some time ago with this alarm at start up...wound up being a chip on prox switch. Cleaned it off and we were good.
Now its happened a few more times...pulled cover cleaned and I was running again...but last few times prox was clean.
This morning I alarmed out multiple times, clean switch...just hit reset and power up till I got it going....but I did notice the axis load is really off. It sits at 5-10% then move a few thou and it goes up and up...move back and it goes down.
I can also hear what sounds like an motor being jammed...I say this as it sound like when turret is jammed and you try to reset by moving into obstruction instead of away...a electrical squeal of sorts.
Do a warm up routine and motor sounds like a stepper drive on the X axis, then clears up and back to normal.
Any ideas as to what may be going on?
I was wondering if these motors had a break that may no be disengaging...or encoder screw up? If encoder do they even replace them or is it part of the motor for a complete swap...ooch...bad time to replace another motor....Ball screw?
Thanks.
