Hi, I have limited capability on the Z axis. The axis will home to the mechanical switch limit and then drop to a point which I asssume to be the fiorst zero point below the mechanical switch limit. Then it gives the error. There is power to the mo

I'd take a look at the power supply for the failed axis and see if it's still working. I've also seen encoders fail on motors but it's rare in my experience. Usually it's a power issue.

Universal Instruments charts five barriers to success 1. Nonconforming material reports 2. Parts shortages 3. Configuration changes 4. Miscellaneous - rework, software changes 5. Assembly errors

When trying to save a program onto a floppy disk I get this error on the screen. The file was being continuously saved on HD but when I tried saving on the floppy as a backup all data was lost and there was no way to recover original file. What k

Looking in My book, it describes "E" in the last data field as follows. Load error. This function code is not programmed as part of a pattern step. The controller uses the E code as an error marker. While a pattern program is being loaded into memory

I agree with jdengler on the rotary table being skewed. You need a couple of dowel pins (1 1/2" long x 1/4" dia., I think) to align that disk. Each idler is held on an eccentric cam and can be adjusted to square up the rotary table by dropping the do

So, you are going to be putting down about 3 million parts a day? How many shifts are you running? At 24 hours a day and assuming the machines never stopped placing parts (which is not possible) you would need a line that put down 125,000 parts an ho

Do you have BEC (Board Error Correction) > on that machine, and if so, did they > give you the alignment plate for it? I don't know if we have BEC on the machine. I can't even search the 550 page manual that was finally sent to us in a pdf file

We've had some experience with Universal's machines as well. Aside from the mechanical problems you're experiencing, that level of control hardware is susceptible to power spikes/fluctuations. Save yourself some trouble later on and get a good UPS.
