And Burn

Flintstone
Came to work this morning, our renishaw SM25-1 module and z rail were parked up against the probe rack where the SM25-2 module is stored. The head was swinging free. I'm assuming someone tried to change probes, and the machine thought it had a different probe in it than it actually did. These things happen. My problem is I can't get the machine motors to restart. Usually in this type of situation, we can shut everything off, restart, make sure all of the e-stops are unpressed, and we are good to go. Well, maybe not good, but we can at least home the machine and go from there. I must be missing a basic step. Any suggestions?

Thanks

  • 1. make sure you still have air
    2. make sure that whoever touched the machine without your permission gets their hands chopped off
    3. make sure you send an email to your superior letting them know of the situation
    4. now chop off the violators arms
    5. make sure the head is facing down as straight as possible to allow the gears to engage properly
    6. now go slash the perpetrators tires and tell him/her "Don't go to sleep tonight. I'll be waiting for you."
    7. just keep trying to restart the machine. if it's not starting up then there maybe some serious damage to the internals of the gearbox. make sure when youre restarting that you are turning off the main power control unit as well.
    8. pray

    I had this happen before and we had to restart it 15-20 times before it worked. Sometimes the head can be tricky to get the gears to reengage

    Of course, the BEST way is to use the HCU and just hit one of the rotate buttons BEFORE you power it down after the crash, and it will re-lock the head. Maybe NOT at the correct angle or the angle displayed on the HCU, but it will re-lock the head.
