Hello,
I have a Homag Optimat Joker 41 Cnc -router from year 2001.
Since i got a couple of months ago, it has had weird problems, which sometimes occur, and sometimes not,
For example:
During routing, the dust hood suddenly jumps up and the execution of the program stops, no error message.
Sometimes the servo drives gives error for too big following error, this neither seems to be linked to anything like accelerating hard with a heavy cut or so, can happen anytime, or can be that doesen't happen for days.
Sometimes when starting, the control power does not want to go on. The light indicator next to the button neither goes on, no error message.
Sometimes with this it helps to push an estop, and pull it back up. Then the light goes on and the machine lets you put the power on.
When this happens the power also easily goes away without an error.
All these problems sometimes occur, and sometimes not. Sometimes a reboot also helps, some days (like today) it seems like no amount of rebooting changes the situation.
Has anyone experienced problems like this with their Homag, or any other cnc router?
What could be the resolution to this?
A service tech said in the phone that the symptoms seem weird and didn't really know what could it be. Hasn't seen the machine yet, but is going to come for a visit in near future.
