Free CNC alarm diagnostic

Photograph the alarm screen and tell us the control and machine. InduQT explains the alarm and what to check on the spindle, servo axes, tool changer or control.

What it checks

  • Spindle alarms and overheating
  • Servo and axis alarms
  • Tool-changer sequence faults
  • Control and parameter errors
  • Lubrication and hydraulic alarms

How it works

  1. Identify the machine from the nameplate or a photo of the control.
  2. Read the fault or alarm and look it up in the documentation for that model.
  3. Weigh the evidence you add (trends, logs, history) against each possible cause.
  4. Give you the ranked causes and the next check that separates them, with sources.

Questions

Which controls does it cover?

The most widely installed CNC control families first. The same alarm can have different causes on different machines, so include the machine builder and model.

What does it cost?

The diagnostic is free.

InduQT gives guidance, not instructions to operate equipment. Work on fuel, pressure and electrical systems must be done by qualified personnel following the manufacturer's procedures and local codes. Never bypass a safety device or interlock.
