Way Cover - How it Works and Troubleshooting Guide
Symptom: The way covers are damaged or worn.
Possible Cause: A part or other heavy object fell
on the way cover. Cutting abrasive or absorbant
materials. The way covers are not lubricated
correctly. Chip build-up around the base of roll
shade way covers.
Corrective Action:
Remove the way cover and hammer out the dents
with a rubber mallet. Replace the way cover if the
dents are too severe. Go to DIY.HAASCNC.COM,
and search for the way cover replacement
procedure that is correct for your machine.
Cutting abrasive materials: Haas machines are
designed and built to cut metal. If you cut abrasive
or absorbant material, it causes premature wear of
the way covers. This is not covered under warranty.
Install aftermarket bellows that wrap around the
way covers to protect them from abrasive material.
The shielded way cover sections are
separated: There is a rubber link between the
shielded way cover sections. If one of these links is
broken, the shielded way cover sections separate.
Replace way covers that have broken rubber links.
