Thread: x motor stall

Hybrid View

Previous Post Previous Post   Next Post Next Post
  1. Default x motor stall

    long to short, keep getting x motor stall. it will start then immediately stop. disassemble machine. removed x motor from the belt feed gears. tested motor. same response. it starts but stop quickly. It has happened in the past and after doing all of the above I put the motor back in and it worked fine for my last carve. today I spent a few hours scratching my head? anyone seen this type of thing?

    Are you sure you are reporting the correct axis stall? The X axis is the drive belts that move the board through the machine, Y axis moves the cutting head across the board from key board end to the bit plate end of the machine and the Z axis moves the cutting head up and down.

    The x motor was replaced. Carvewright guys on the phone said it was probably a bad encoder. I put the new x motor in today and I have the same problem. X motor starts then stops immediately. This happens when it's engaged in the gears of belt drive or disconnected from it. Head pressure is not the issue. Motor not the issue. Didn't notice anything suspicious when x motor circuit board was inspected. Any ideas 💡?

    yes sir the x axis that drives belt feed. checked head pressure. lubed. disassemble and cleaned machine top to bottom. removed x axis motor and it tested fine and turned with no noise.

    Check the X Term board. When it stops the cut motor you can see the burn damage, I don't know about the X motor. Does the X motor have an encoder? I thought the tracking roller took care of that. Evidently what ever turns on the X motor is the problem.

    The x motor does have an encoder which is why I bought a new motor. I tested the old motor before making the purchase and the motor worked fine in my outside the machine test. Thought maybe it was the encoder. Unless they sent a bad part I'm lost. Inspected x motor board and didn't notice any thing that stood out.

    the error message is e04-0293. again motor starts then stops with zero resistance as i do not have any gear installed. when motor is tested outside of machine (different power supply) it spins fine

    so after letting myself cool down after the aggravation i felt from this machine giving me problems again after barely 100 hours carve time, i turned on machine and preformed a x axis motor test it worked fine. loaded a piece of wood and it gave me the error again. unloade wood and preformed x axis test again and again a E04 0293 error message appears. Any feedback is appreciated

    Did you check the gears for any missing teeth and that they are aligned with each other?

    I just updated the software for the first time in years a few weeks ago.
