Need Help Mimaki JFX200-2513 Stepper Motor Help

[BenBo]

Hello,

I am hoping some of ou wonderful people are able to help me with my JFX200-2513 as I am having an issue with it at the moment. I went into the workshop yesterday and found that it had this error on the screen SYSTEM HALT (2) 506: STATION SENS. So I turned it all off and back on again and it seemed fine, then I heard an awful noise coming from below the head. So I turned it all off again and opened up the panels below the station to see what the noise was and it seems to be coming from the stepper motor that controls the station Y axis, but I am not 100% sure of this. I have attached a video of what happens when I startup the machine. I can pull and move the belt and it moves the cogs etc and changes the station height but the motor seems to jam or stop and makes that awful noise.
So do I need to simply replace the motor? If so, where do I find one and is it easy enough to do? I can't seem to find any online that easily. Im UK based.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Ben

Might be the endstop switch not reading or damaged if I were to guess. I think the station PCB has an LED light for the switch/sensor, try moving something back and forth between it and see if you can see the LED blinking.

Thanks for that. Where would the station PCB be? Is it easy to see?

Track the station motor wiring back and it should be the board that the stepper plugs into. Have a service manual you can reference?
