Hello,
A few weeks ago the "Y" axis drive did not fire up on our 1998 HTC400 horizontal machining center with M+ control. The Y axis supports the spindle.
The Y drive is in the middle of the drive section, the one on the left and the one on the right of it fire up. It finally fired up but next time we shut it down it would not fire up, no red lights, no power output.
We traded drives, it ran for a day or so and same thing but it fired up again the next day after several tries.
The machine ran fine for a couple of weeks, we just did not turn it off, worked fine, went in Saturday and it was off.
The only error messages is "missing amp" and a few other in the same area, the Y brake running off the drive has 24v running to it, not really sure what else could cause the problem.
The machine does not run much, things get a bit 'sticky" from sitting too much, we try and fire it up every week and run it for a few hours, the dead drive happens when you try and start the machine, Saturday morning was the first time it quit while powered up, I doubt it is the drive, the second one is doing the same as the last one?
Any comments, it is just a basic M+ drive so I am sure others have seen this happen?
