ROUBLESHOOTING
This section is intended to help you solve basic machine performance problems.
For serious maintenance or if you have questions on the following procedures,
contact CLIMAX.
5.4.1 The machine isn’t turning
If the machine is not rotating, check the following:
• The HPU power is on (Section 3.11 on page 50).
• There is a good connection between the HPU and servo (Section 3.11
on page 50). Try the following:
a) Power down the HPU.
b) Clean out any debris in the connections.
c) Make sure the connections are latched.
d) Check for no damaged or disconnected tethers.
• No chips are embedded in the cables, and the cables aren’t otherwise
damaged (Section 1.4 on page 3).
• Any error messages show on the pendant (Section 4.2.2 on page 60).
• When in single-point mode, check that the drag brake is disengaged
(Section 5.2.6 on page 100).
5.4.2 The machine isn’t feeding or is slow and unresponsive
If the machine isn’t feeding properly, check the following:
• The pneumatic connections from the source to the feed have no broken
or disconnected lines (Figure 4-47 on page 94).
• The feed box is engaged (Section 4.2 on page 59).
• Any dirty filters have been cleaned (Section 5.3 on page 102).
• The Z-brake is disengaged (Section 4.1.3 on page 55).
5.4.3 The machine is cutting poorly
If the machine is cutting poorly, check the following:
• The correct face mill is used for the application (e.g., the right size for
the job).
• The face mill is tight in the spindle (Section 4.3.2 on page 76).
• No face inserts are broken, dull, or loose. Tighten, replace, or turn if
necessary.
• The brake is engaged (Section 5.2.6 on page 100).
• No worn or damaged components in the spindle. If any are found, con-
tact CLIMAX for more information.
• The feed rate and spindle RPM is correct for the application. The cor-
rect speed will vary by application.
