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

Wouldn't the VRM linear motors need to be replaced eventually? How long do they generally last on the genesis? Replacing a ball and screw is not cost prohibitive but the linear motors sounds like it would be. Wouldn't that be the life of a genesis

Thanks for responding. Which one do you like better GI14 or GC60? I agree with you that VRM motors are better.

oh great, I'll check that out, can I just swap that between the two machines to check? Is that module on the front of the machine or on the back with the VRM modules? I'm pretty new to finding stuff on the machines!

We checked the three pacsci pc800 servo controllers and they all look OK, no red or error lights. VRM amps all look OK. Still haven't found the issue.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm trying to google and find out more about the sapphire not finding much info on it. Also, trying to better understand the whole philips/assembleon/yamaha history especially on the GEM Yamaha line. Not much out there.

I have 2 older genesis machines currently down due to VRM Servo issues. I'm debating whether its better to stock up on some spares as I'm finding spares cheap currently. How often do they go out and how long should they last? Any other parts that

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
