Got a used mpm up2000. It gives z axis hardware limit warning when trying to teach vision. The board raises to camera then drops back down. However when loading a board for tooling, the board stays raised up. The z table can be manually raised up n d

Contact George Castonguay at PPM. He is a Jedi when it comes to these machines. In fact, since you just got it, a good investment would be to have George come in and go through the machine and get it calibrated. 603-895-5112 They also sell parts

Thanks for the suggestions! It ended up being that a wire on the amplifier card in the lower drawer came loose and was making intermittent contact. Tightened all the wires down and the problem has gone away. Now we have a new problem. We had to repla
