[Cl...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This is happening in all my programs. XXT travels between measurements and stops, red light.

[De...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Is it possible your clearance plane is too high in Z? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/14364-15-command-cancelled-hardware-end-position/#findComment-75188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 This happens anytime the probe moves in CNC. It happened when I tried to qualify styli using CNC probing system qualification. No clearance plane involved there.

[Me...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The dark side of this...your heads going bad. Or the scale reader has issues. Orrrrr your air bearing(s) are dirty. Try running your programs at a slower speed...80, 160. Check under the cowlings make sure no wires, -any stuff- are hitting the end-of-travel switches. The last idea is a reach 🙄 If it's the head you will start having probe change issues.

[Ch...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Does the machine home normally? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/14364-15-command-cancelled-hardware-end-position/#findComment-75194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 It homes normally, I tried that this morning. This Contura has been on the shop floor without an enclosure for more than two years. The shop environment is not too bad, but this machine is next to several Citizen lathes, and centerless grinders. I can wipe oil off of the surface plate weekly. I've been on management the whole time to get an enclosure. It goes up within the next week, or so. It maybe too late?

[Cl...] Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 What's the best solvent to clean scales with? Denatured alcohol? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/14364-15-command-cancelled-hardware-end-position/#findComment-75200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 That is what I use. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/14364-15-command-cancelled-hardware-end-position/#findComment-75202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Talk to Zeiss first. If you disturb those scales they'll need to take the machine out to reset them. Better yet tell, (nicely), management that they need to schedule the full Monty on this machine. Get the bearings cleaned, (that's where I think your problem is), everything.

[Cl...] Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've cleaned them before, and am as gentle as a baby. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/14364-15-command-cancelled-hardware-end-position/#findComment-75206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Good, but I still think it needs a cleaning beyond what you or I can manage. I've had air bearing issues just like you describe. Runs o.k. slowly but at high speed the bearing "dives" hitting the table. The environment you describe adds all kinds of particles into the air. I also work near millers and lathes. Both running water coolant and oil. It's all over the place. How are your filters on the controller? That should give you an idea of what's floating around.

[Cl...] Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I ran into this Status Window error again today. I finally figured out that one stylus position got qualified on the wrong sphere, so FYI, that's another potential reason for this error.

[Ri...] Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Denatured alcohol can dry and leave a thin whitish film. Its why its not used in most Aerospace and semiconductor manufacturing. Isopropyl alcohol is best. I've worked on jobs where Denatured alcohol wasn't allowed in the same area as product.

[Cl...] Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 This time it was just a bad (wrong sphere) stylus qualification. The cause for this initial post was a bad X drive circuit board.
