Hey all! First post here! Happy to have found a place for print geeks. I recently purchased an AGFA anapurna M2540FB to add to our shop. Got it in the shop, wired in, air in, powered up..it homes all 3 axis, sits still for 30-45 seconds then throws an error alarm for "Home Check Fail" I've doubled checked the Z limit switch, cleaned encoder strips, etc. If I move the machine by hand with the power off, then power on and try again, the Z goes to the top and sits still. Z doesnt move at all once parked at the top. The previous owner mentioned he thought it usually did more than this? The carriage and gantry both home like most cnc machines do. I've swapped the motherboard with no change, spent HOURS scouring the machine for loose connections, and read the manual for bootup procedures and tests and there isn't much to be found. I've also searched google and this forum to no avail. I've setup an account with AGFA to hopefully make contact with a tech, but I'm not getting a "helpful" vibe from them.
Previous owner states the printer worked great before we brought it to my shop, but I can't confirm this. It was decommissioned and stored for about 3 months before I picked it up. Wing sensors are clear and move easily(clicking like they should)
I'm at a loss. Has anyone run into this? Any suggestions? Maybe a service mode or something I can get it into? At least maybe to see what its trying to check and failing at? I'll HAPPILY pay for someone's time to help me through this. I'm fairly savvy with whatever it may need, just not the process to find the issue with this machine. I can't do anything with the rip software until the machine homes, which it fails and won't do. The little blue boxes are lit up in the RIP software for 'safety' 'white' and 'wing sensor'
Thanks all,
Aeryk
