If a drive fails on an Ecoline, the V axis can be utilised to enable the Ecoline to still run as a machining centre, albeit with V notching now disabled. This is a better situation than no machining at all, as all factories have V notching capability in addition to an Ecoline
Étape 1 - Physically move the V axis to a safe position
...The V axis needs to be clear of the gripper / x axis travel. This is the normal datum position
Étape 2 - Physically move the motor connection
Remove the V axis motor cable (in this case cable 1)
Move the motor connection from the faulty axis to the V axis (in this case it is the R axis cable 2)
