I've got two Genesis machines (GC30 and GX11) that I bought used. The PWC on one is disabled, and if I enable that axis the machine will tell me it can't find or initialise that axis. I tried swapping the board 48904905 from the working machine to th

I'll double check tomorrow but I don't think so, it fails zeroing straight away (without moving the other parts) when the PWC axis is enabled, which is why I tried swapping the board as I assumed it was a controller not being found issue.

Thanks, I do recall reading about loading firmware onto some of the VME cards (VRM axis controllers I believe.) I will review this again. I agree that it seems to be some issue with reading axis position after hitting the home switch. The first thin

We swapped the Y1 and Y2 pc800 controllers with no change. We swapped out the UIMC III-I cards from another machine with no change. VRM amps all look OK, no errors. The machine moves the head both in the x and y directions during the zeroing attemp

No, each card in LP servo rack drives only one motor. But there is an servo cotnroller board (actually 3 of them) in the VME rack (where all computers are). Third one from the left(slot13) controls head2 theta and z axis. That might be a cause of you

Deni, Do you know if the theta axis controlled by the same slots/cards as the z-axis, by any chance? We also can't get theta to work on head 2, so, I'm wondering if the issue is related... thanks, ..rob

Thanks for the inquiry. We used MCD (Motion Control Dia) tool to verify if that is caused by VRM board. No respond(I means the related axis was off) was detected. we swapped that board to other machine, the VRM card was good.... X axis was stopped, t

Dear SMT Specialists Had anyone encountered GSM ADvantis zeroing failure problem? The x-axis is idle while the y-axis is waiting to be activated. My initial guess is either Axis control board or machine configuration conflicts. How to fix it? any le

Hi, I have an old GSM1 p&p machine unused for some time and I would like to know if someone can give me the correct jumper settings for the 3 Radisys UIMC axis control cards that go on slots 10,11 and 12.Someone modified card positions and I dont kno
