C axis fault

[Rudee]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had a c axis fault after spindle running for about 30 seconds, with no other axis moving. If you have any ideas what this might be i would love to here what they are.

Thank you

Check the hall effects switch for the spindle magnet. If the computer doesn't see the spindle magnet within 3 seconds it will shut down your drive.

How do i check the hall effect switch? Does this have anything to do with the #17 fuse?

Thanks for the help

From the screen (enter next command)type in (D I ) and hit the enter key then (D S) and the enter key. This will display all of the proxswitch functions on the screen . If you rotate the spindle by hand you will see the spindle switch go on then off as it passes the orientation position for the spindle. If it does not change then it is a good bet it is bad.
When you are done checking the switches then type D I enter then X and enter- if you don't then the switch screen will stay up superimposed on top of whatever screen you are in- this can be usefull for troubleshooting but is distracting and when you change out if the D I/ D S screen you loose the labels for the individual switches.
