trying to troubleshoot an assumed vector drive issue ith my vf2.
for testing porposes, what drives can i toss into a 2009 vf2 to simply turn it on and see if the error flags (993 AMPLIFIER SHORT CIRCUIT, 123 spindle drive fault) it has a 20 hp drive, but i may be able to borrow a drive from some friendly local shops, an older 15hp vector drive, more current 30hp, or even a vector drive from a TM series. borrowing the tm drive is most likely but the oddest one t try
i can limp the machine when needed so im not totally stuck. if i warm the drive with a space heater it works.... but its getting to the point i need to correct it. im pretty sure its the drive as i have checked everything else.. (motor, leads, contactors), BUT a service call means paying 1000km travel and a overnight stay, add in a vector drive and the posibility there is still a ghost in the machine somply frightens my light pocketbook, hence the horsing around trying to resolve before spending.
have sent the drive to a shop to be repaired, but h was a 1 man band with minimul resources, was not able to test installed in a system to verify everything. found this out after, but he refunded me when it did not work, so all is good.
so?
open to any ideas
the reason i point at the drive is if i apply heat directly locally to it with a tiny space heater it works after its 60-70deg.
