| We have two of these in our shop and both of them have had near-catastrophic y-axis way-cover failures at least twice. Had to order new way-cover sets to get the seals replaced, and had to call Hardinge to get 'em. Can't remember price, seems like it was over $1k at a shot for the whole x-y axis set. On the third failure on one of the two machines, we finally had enough and ripped 'em off and replaced the whole shebang with a custom-fit rubber sheet to protect the y-axis, and let the x-axis covers beat themselves to death. We are machining plastic dry with high pressure air blast for chip clearance so it's not as much of a problem as if we were running coolant in a metal machine.....anyway, to cut to the chase, give Hardinge a call. Don't have the # handy, sorry about that, but somebody else here must have it. Hope you get it sorted out...just be prepared to do this repair again. Rob. |
