We had an issue with a s160t
On start up the carriage would just twitch then the machine would error.
The issue was the encoder at the base of the x axis drive motor.
It had cracked and become detached.
We did manage to re attach it at the cutter sort of worked but not well, losing precision over a London job.
.
The motors was costly so replacing the encoder might be cheaper and greener solution
Where can I get on though?
It's part number
Pz30026
Any idea?
These machines are marvelous but some aspects of the design are awful. The way the end covers fit. Most we see are broken. One fell.off taking the ribbon connector on the main board with it.
And locating the datum using the arrow keys feels like something from a lost era.
