Z axis power check:

  • Power up the machine. E-Stop is not pressed:

  • If the Z stage is not holding its position (the Z stage will fall), meaning the Z motor has no power. This cause may be from the amp board to the Z motor, including every cable in the middle that connects them.

  • If the Z stage holds its position barely meaning a small force will push it out of holding, then you may need a new motor.

  • If the Z stage holds its position very strongly meaning there is too much resistance force for the Z motor to push through. There might be other issues such as lead screws losing their coating so that at some spots it is very tough to move.  Usually, that happens on the top of the travel where it binds the most.

 

X and Y axis power check:

  • Power up the machine. The E-stop button released/unpressed.

  • Push the stages manually. If they can be pushed freely, then the motor is not powered. It could be an issue in anywhere from 110V power cable ->power inlet ->power supply ->cable @1->AMP board (Check Fuse and LED on the AMP board) ->cable @2 -> stage motor.
