VH-65 troubleshooting
I posted this on PM, sorry if you hang out at both
I recently purchased a used VH-65. It looks to be in excellent condition, with little signs of use, but the seller didn’t know if it was functioning as he had no Fadal .
My machine previously had a 4th on it before I got it. It’s wired and had a 1010 card and amplifier.
The amplifier and 1010 card appear to be working by the blinking lights and green light on the amp card.
I have air hooked to the machine and the solenoid is working I believe.
I changed my parameters per the manual and restarted the machine.
At first I was getting a #18 position error, now I’m getting a motor overload.
I’m guessing the brake is stuck.
How does the brake work? Air applied appears to be on? I have 90# air to the machine , I tried running a separate air line to the 4th and cranked the air up to 125. I can’t hear anything moving inside the 4th, can you hear the brake engage normally?
Anything I can check prior to taking the VH-65 apart?
Thanks for the help

M60/M61 is the Brake Code. There is setting in SETP for Auto Brake. Normally you can not hear the Brake operation other than the Air pressure relief.Originally Posted by ripperj
The 1010-axis Card should be blinking Green and no red light when Axis drivers are on.

Ok thank you
I recall a parameter that was yes/no for the brake, I’ll have to look for the auto brake setting(unless it’s in auto if you select No to the M60/61 setting?)

Turned out to be a stuck motor brush, it had varnish or epoxy on it. Works like a champ now
