Our shop has a Fanuc robot and we are experiencing an issue where the robot will stop mid-cycle, and display a "spindle not clamped" error message. The spindle then stops and just idles with a status of "running" on the teach pendant. We replaced the entire spindle this morning and we are still getting the same error. Has anyone experienced this issue and found a solution?
