They already ran again. They are probably out for nitride. Of course nitriders are backed up also. Abnormally high levels of work.
We had three cnc machines break down this week. Only one was simple enough to get back up this week despite service techs working here on the issues. That was a fanuc drive fan. The other two were higher service hour repairs, a coolant line running through a complicated track system rubbed a hole into itself on a casting, and a hydraulic actuator for a spindle failed so they pulled that and we are waiting on a replacement part arriving monday.
We want to buy machines but the machine builder has a developmental flaw in a new revision of a model we are looking for, and we already have two of those needing a software update so we’re hoping they close the issue soon so we can put in a capacity upgrade.
