Multiple X Axis

Looking at a Hardinge 710 Mill with 828D and Sinamics drives today with multiple X axis alarms. After a few tests, a faulty motor was diagnosed, more specifically the SMI 20 unit, which had failed to break the motor encoder communications to drive.

We removed the motor, a new SMI 20 was fitted and the configuration was reloaded. The X axis was then a mile out as it had an absolute encoder on, so after a re-teach of the absolute 0 position, the machine was put back into production.

Another happy customer! If you are having similar issues with your machines, please contact us for further details using the red "Request Booking" at the top of the page.

"There's a funny smell coming from the electrical cabinet." The 50A spindle drive on the Siemens 810D went bang. All three phases failed the diode test (no surprise there).

This is a fairly common failure on CCU boxes, specifically on the 50A spindle drive.
