HAAS LATHE QUESTION

[Mike@Dive Lab Inc.]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has experienced movement of x and/or z after the reset button is pushed. It seems like everytime I have to stop the machine because of a error I made in the program or something like that and the tool is close to the part about a 1/4" away, the machine moves into the part and breaks or damages something. I have tried to do a feed hold then spindle stop and finally the reset button. It doesn't seem to make a difference how I stop it, it still does it. This doesn't happen all the time just every now and then whenever I'm next to the part??(within striking distance) It feeds not rapid? I'm about to call HAAS but I wanted to see what you guys have to say It has done this since day 1

 

Thanks for any input

totally uncommon, call Haas

I've seen machines drop a little on E-Stop, but not reset; definitely call Haas.

Check the counter-balance spring for the z axis, they break and when the drive shut down theres nothing holding it up.

Not on a Hass, but when my encoder was going out it occasionally jumped around and then got worse till I called service.

What do you mean not on a Haas.

it was on my Milltronics CNC lathe

Just had our Haas guy come in this week to fix that.

Was a software problem.

 

As a temporary fix I had gotten in the habit of hitting e-stop instead of reset and then re-home the machine. It was annoying but safe.

I am beginning to think my Haas is a temporary fix too....I'm shopping for a new Mori!
