Y truck not moving

[knotjustsawdust]

Was just cleaning my machine afte a carve and I can’t slide the y truck. I just did the user tests for z and y and everything moves fine. The truck returns to the left (keypad side) and with the machine unplugged or plugged, it will not move. Any ideas??

could be your Y motor or a bearing

The Belt Gear on the Y Motor sits in a U shaped machine cut out. When the Bearings go bad inside the Gearbox and the shaft wears the belt pulls the plastic gear toward the center of the machine and up against the U shaped FRAME. This acts like a BRAKE.

So likely you need two 685ZZ Bearings and likely a NEW Gear Shaft that TIM Sells.... OR a $90.00 Motor Gearbox plus shipping from LHR... Tim has a better deal... Bearings on eBay or local.

This is the most posted about problem with the machine.

My most posted pictures.

Good Luck.

Other than THAT... The "Y" ROLLER RAIL bearings could be Dry and sticking.

Does anyone have a way to get a hold of Tim? I think I'd like to order a couple of his shafts just to have on hand. Thanks
