    Default spindle arm stuck

    hello, 1st time user,
    question: have a haas super vf-3 vmc milling machine,
    the arm which holds and moves tools from tool changer to spindle has frozen with a tool holder in each pocket. the arm is all the way up and stuck, how do i move the arm down? the spindle is all the way up to the limit, i can see about an inch of the taper on the tool in the arm.
    question again is how to manually move the arm all the way to the bottom so i can remove tools in pockets.
    thanks,
    richard de leon

    You should restart this thread in the Haas Mills forum, this forum is the one for the Haas Quick Code so it may not be readily noticed.

    All I know about moving the arm is that it is very tedious. You have to start a Tool Changer Restore sequence and follow the prompts on the screen. To move the arm I think you push the Up or Down cursor keys and it moves a few thou which each push.

    If you restart the thread it is more likely someone with more knowledge than me will come along and reply.

    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
