Now What....???

SO the CNC machine decides to throw up an alarm this afternoon....


Which obviously shuts down production on that machine until the alarm can be fixed.


After a few phone calls it appears to be a cooling fan on the X and Y axis inverter.


Now mind you it just can't be the one that snaps in on top, it has

to be the one that you have to take apart a bunch of crap to get to. 


So I take it apart and clean it then bolt everything back in....cross fingers....

fire it up .. and nothing.  / sad face.


Now get on the phone with Fanuc and order a new one to be shipped red label

for tomorrow a.m.


I have a 100k dollar machine waiting for a 35 dollar fan.......





Oh well the store at the end of the street sells cold beer !

BEHIND THIS MESS IS A DEAD FAN

HERE IS THE CULPRIT!!

THE MACHINE IS DOWN BECAUSE OF THIS........



Things could be worse, I could be married to a wookie...........
