What was so lemony about it? If its a lemon, we'll just have to fix it ourselves. It wouldn't be the first time we rebuilt a CNC machine 
What a coincidence! It so happens that I was a big fan of your 2008 robot!  Who'd have thought? |
Just about everything. We have a VF-1 and it's had about 10 service calls. Spindle replaced under warranty, oil leaks during warranty, we've had 2 gearboxes replaced this month, need a third one shortly. There's really not a lot you can fix yourself-everything is proprietary and Haas won't sell you the parts directly-you have to go through a HFO and have them install it for you.
