Crash and PH10T dead?

[John Riggins]

We had a crash last night. The tie-in states "not hard at all".... hmmm.

Now I get this message whenever I try to rotate the PH10T.

Am I dead in the water?.... Hafta call lugnut metrology?

Help?

shut every thing down, all power.

start back up resetting everything.


if alarm still there your dead in water and that persons idea of not hard is bad

Have to tried rotating it using the hand control? Sometimes a manual attempt will get it going again (but not always).

Been there done that.... several times.... the definition of insanity: keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.

I've had a minor crash before with the PH10T. I manually moved the head around to make sure nothing broke. I then restarted everything. Re-homing seemed to take care of it for me.

Must have been something in the air last night. Same here but I am up and running though. I was going to sugest a reboot but I see that isn't working. All I can offer is I deal with them too. Let's just hope your monkeys don't get together with my monkeys.

Thanks for making us feel a whole lot better.
Get out the cheque book and put your feet up for a while.

Who doesn't think a monkey f$#king a football is funny?

I had that exact problem happen 1.5 years ago. My programmer made a ooooppssss and the cmm moved in -x and smacked the check fixture and the ph9 fell to the table. I was at the other end of the office and all I heard was "OH S$#*" and a loud bang,,,,clink,,,clink,,,clink. I knew that was not good. At least that part is inexpensive.

What I have done since the crash

It is almost 24 hours later:

I queried here, called B&S 800# (useless by the way), called the tech that calibrates/repairs our machines.

I think we broke it.

Ordered an RBE that should be here in a couple of hours ($4400).

If that works when I plug it in I will be happy.
If it doesn't work I think I'll go home.
