Try moving back and forth a few times and put your hand on the brake. Is there a lot of dust or grinding metal? If you can move the axis some.

Another quick check is to look at the break. If yes, you can usually see the problem with the load meter. Does the load go up? Is there a cable track that moves the cable for the motor back and forth? Check for damage.ĭoes the axis have a brake on it. Handwheel away look at load meter then handwheel back. Maybe needs gridshift axis could be bottoming out on the cushion. Possible lube problem check for lube if it has waysĬheck plug connections, motor box, check for coolant contamination.ĭry out plugs, check follow my servo check procedure to check cables again.ĭoes it alarm close to an overtravel area? Or in the same area? Compare to other axes, some bounce is sometimes present (2-3 for load meter)īind or friction in axis (Follow procedure for detecting load issue.) Rare but sometimes motor or drive. Also handwheel in X1 a little and see if it takes some time to steady. Replace the motor or inspect cable plugs, (Follow my procedure)Ĭheck following error diagnostic or load meter. Ohm or Megohm motor and cable (see procedure) Take 10 minutes and call them to ask there opinion it is usually free. If alarm is present on drive call the control manufacturer Occasionally the motor or cable can take out the drive. Is the alarm come up on the drive before the front control comes up? Then its probably a drive. Turn only the main breaker on for the machine look at LED displays on drives.ĭoes the Led Display come up? No, check power supplied to it. Overcurrent, detection and deviation/droop, servo error, etc.
