Although it says Z torque lmtr could it be the X axis problem because a tool holder crashed on the sub spindle of the tailstock when it was moving in X and Z or coluld it be the tailstock problem beacuse the alrm also says tailstock breakway. Dont know if anyone can help, would be back to work on Monday to try again or get a service guy in. |
I've never had a tailstock limiter alarm on a Hardinge, although they have been knocked out of alignment a few times.

Z-axis, yes, tailstock, no.
Since you have the OT Realease button, hold it in while turning the handwheel. Once you hear it pop off the limiter, power down, and back up. Home turret. You should be fine at this point.
Post back if this doesn't solve your problem.
EDIT: If it doesn't 'pop', then you will have to try something else.
