The document I am using is through Universals Voyager software. It contains all the manuals, part lists, procedures, etc. It is an installed piece of software so it would be hard to share. I was able to find the pdf of this breakdown. I assume th

Hello This part of the machine was damaged and we still cannot contact a supplier that sells it. If anyone has any contact that can provide me with spare parts for the GSM2 dual beam machine (4688A), I would appreciate it. Or if someone can provide

I could be wrong but I think the use for alternate feeder axis is a way of stopping the carriage so it does not always return to home every time an error condition exist. Saves on time and wear and tear on the machine. As for alternate carriage, I

I work on a few of these Universal machines before. Check your severos ( I believe their 6 of them ) in the back of the machines all of them should be on. If you see a red light on one of them it's gone bad and that's your Y axis card. It's easy to

Since you haven't received any useful advise I will throw my 2 cents in. I do not know this machine but in general what you describe is an axis that does not get it's home pulse in time. Many machines will have an in-range sensor that gets flagged

We were able to get the machine to zero after 'scrubbing' the encoder head. We used a piece of paper towel and IPA and slipped it between the head and the scale. We moved it back and forth a few times to clean the head then blew out any remaining dus

We powered up our Advantis machine after leaving off for several months. When we powered it up went to zero it we get an error on the y1 axis during zeroing. Command move home: pattern step 0. The y negative limit is hit during homing, the axis then
