MultiCam 3000 CNC Router chuck did not open error message

In this help video we show the dreaded chuck did not open message you can sometimes get on your MultiCam keypad.
In my case it was a simple sensor that had gone bad. You can easily test your sensors to determine if one has failed.
If you'd like we have a PDF we can email to you that walks you through this entire process.
Hope this video helps and saves you a couple thousand dollars which is the basic cost to fly in a tech these days.

I have a different spindle on mine (eurospindel Hi-L 8kW) and it won’t come on even though the VFD appears to be doing its thing. I suspect there is a sensor issue on the air line somewhere . Anyone know where I might find a manual for this spindle?
I occasionally have seen that it says no spin enabled on the pendant but checking the settings all the tools show spin is on.
Anyway - if anyone has any suggestions that would be amazing!

How do you address a Motor Fault ( 0x 10) drive 5 (XB) teknic comm error? Also would love to see a video on squaring a multicam 3000

Usually on those servo motors they don't have an error code (no LCD screen) but most of them WILL give you a BLINK code. This can then be compared to a blink code service manual and should give you SOME additional info that may help point to a cause. From my experience if the motor is removed and under ZERO stress and the servo is still giving you a fault then the servo drive itself could be bad. You could try swapping some cables to eliminate a bad cable or bad motor. The 3000 MultiCam is rarely out of square as the homing procedure has a built in squaring procedure but if its too far out it will put the system under stress and cause faults. Next time I have a mutlicam with any similar issues I'll produce a video and get it uploaded! The procedure isn't terrible but does require loosening up the gantry to relieve the stress OR bring the bridge back into alignment. Then this usually means you'll need to adjust the tool change pick up locations.

​@@protechmachinery1 I got the error code i mentioned on my pendant, which locks up the machine and requires a hard restart

motor fault ..... my best guess would be a cable issue. They wear out and develop breaks over time. In my experience the cable is most often the issue versus a hardware failure in the motor OR servo drive but they do happen. What year is your machine? 2005?
