Symptom Table

Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

Alarm 103 SERVO ERROR TOO LARGE

Alarm 104 SERVO ERROR TOO LARGE

Alarm 105 SERVO ERROR TOO LARGE

The axis motion is very rough when the axis is jogged.

There is unusual noise when the axis moves.

 There is insufficient lubrication. Check the ballscrew for correct lubrication.
The ballscrew or ballnut is damaged. Check the ballscrew and ballnut for damage.
The ballscrew support bearings are damaged. Check the ballscrew support bearings for damage.
Ballscrew misalignment Verify and correct ballscrew alignment

The axis position does not repeat within specification.

Inconsistent accuracy, positioning, backlash.

 There is insufficient lubrication, or the lubrication is contaminated. Check the ballscrew for correct lubrication.
The ballscrew or ballnut is damaged. Check the ballscrew and ballnut for damage.
The ballscrew coupling is damaged. Check the ballscrew coupling for damage.
There is excessive thermal growth. Correct your application
Dual ballscrew GM-2 is experiencing different and high loads during a movement on the X-axis and slave (F1)-axis. Machine may have moved during shipping 

Before taking any corrective action please verify the machine is experiencing the following behavior:

  • The loads on the X & F1 axis are compounding at different rates
  • When the direction is reversed the loads switch on the two axis
  • When the E-stop is engaged the position of the two axis are not the same

If your machine is experiencing these issues please refer to the GM Dual Ballscrew Lead Compensation Adjustment procedure to correct this issue. 
Machine was built with grade 7 ballscrews and lead compensations are not set correctly 

Ballscrew Alignment

 
Checking Ball Screw Alignment
 
  • Observe Axis Servo load while Jogging axis is question through full travel.
  • A properly aligned Ball Screw will exhibit consistent servo loads throughout its travel.

If the servo load is not consistent, the following procedure should be used to align the Ball Screw:

  • Break loose then lightly snug the following Bolts:
  1. Nut Housing to axis in question Bolts (Saddle, Table, Spindle Head, Etc.)
  2. Ballscrew to Nut Housing Bolts
  3. Bearing support Bolts
  • Jog the Axis back and forth several times, then stop the axis at the bearing support and torque all bolts that were loosened
  • Jog the Axis through its entire travel observing for consistent servo load

Lubrication

Corrective Action:

Make sure there is a light coat of oil or grease on the surface of the ballscrew. If there is not, inspect the entire lubrication system for leaks and clogs, including all tubes, hoses, and fittings. Check for leaks on each axis: A leak at one axis will cause a lack of lubrication at a different axis. Check for oil or grease puddles to help locate the source of the leak.

 Note: The Haas Liquid Grease lubrication system uses adapter fittings [2] in the axis manifolds [1]. The linear guide trucks and ballnuts use restrictor fittings [3]. The restrictor fitting has a gap [5] between the threads and the set screw [4]. This forces the manifold-fed grease to pass through the gap [4] to lubricate the axes.

Make sure the correct lubrication is used. Refer to Lubricant, Grease, and Sealant Tables for Haas Machine Components.

Ballscrew/Ballnut or Support Bearing

Corrective Action:

Disconnect the lubrication fitting [1] from the ballnut [2]. Remove the screws [3] that attach the ballnut [2] to the ballnut housing [4].

Ballscrew/Ballnut

Separate the ballnut [2] from the ballnut housing [4]. Rotate the ballnut [2] by hand and hold the ballscrew [5] so it does not rotate, and the ballnut [2] will move away from the ballnut housing [4].

The ballnut [2] should rotate smoothly. If there is resistance or if it binds, the ballscrew [5] and ballnut [2] are faulty.

Support Bearing

Rotate the ballscrew [5] by hand. If there is resistance or if it binds, the bearings are faulty. Remove the ballscrew [5] and check the support bearings and bearing pack to determine which components need to be replaced.

Coupler

Corrective Action:

Refer to the Ballscrew Backlash Test procedure that is appropriate for your machine.

Power off and lock out the machine. Remove the necessary covers to access the axis with the problem. Remove the axis motor cover.

Install the coupler-installation tool [1] on the motor coupling. Turn the ballscrew so you can see the screw [4] for the motor-coupling clamp.

Remove the motor screws [2]. Loosen the screw [4] on the motor-coupling clamp. Remove the motor with the motor-coupling assembly. Remove the ballscrew key [3]. Inspect for damage or wear on the key or keyway.

Make sure the flex pack [5] in the coupler is not damaged. It should be straight, and tightly compressed together.

 Note: If the axis motor is disconnected from the ballscrew, the grid offset and the work offset (such as G54) must be reset. Go to Axis Servo Motor - Set Grid Offset Parameter.

Thermal Growth

Corrective Action:

You must warm up the machine axes to bring the ballscrews to a normal temperature for operation. You can warm up the machine automatically by changing certain settings: Use either Settings 158-160 or Settings 109-112. Do not use both.

  • Settings 158-160: These settings can be set from -30 to +30 and will adjust the screw thermal compensation by -30% to +30%.
  • Settings 109-112: This (Setting 109) is the number of minutes (up to 300 minutes from power-up) during which the compensations specified in Settings 110-112 are applied.

If your application involves moving a single axis repeatedly back and forth over a small area of the ballscrew, the ballnut will heat up the ballscrew and cause thermal expansion. It will also not lubricate correctly because of the short stroke. Every few minutes you need to move a few feet to cycle the grease through the ballnut.

For lathes: Go to the DIAGNOSTICS screen. Check the X Axis Temp. If the measurement fluctuates or has no value, you must inspect the thermal sensor on the ballnut.
