    Exclamation Lube Fail

    I have a Hardinge Fanuc series 18-T with a Bijur Versamatic 2 Lubricator pump i am getting bubbles where my lube is stored and the motor is also over heating. I am not sure what to do or what caused it but if anyone has a clue on how to fix this Lube Fail error i would appreciate the help.


    Thank you

    Crack the pressure line and see if it is pressurized when it is cycling. We had a new machine that all the orfices were stuck and not oiling the ways.

    Well we unscrewed the line from the pump and the pressure was good but the motor is still running hot but when we removed the lube it was really dirty at the bottom so we are thinking that something is in the line blocking the lube from going to the machine and it over worked the pump and thats why its running hot .
