Hi all,
I have a simple question that perhaps I can get a quick answer to on my 1998 HAAS VF3.
I recently machined a big part about 12" x 14" x 5" and had to call it a night and leave the shop. I stopped the machining progress at a good point and turned off the machine.
The next day, I powered the equipment up and did the normal start-up checks even running spindle warm-up. After finishing the job, it was evident that something shifted and the last three operations were off by like 1/32"
The question is, is it possible that this could've happened, after tuning the machine on and homing a 1/32" error is possible?
If so what are some mitigations, keeping the equipment on overnight?
any help is appreciated.
thanks,
FG
