Loosing self automatic homing | Blade or finger bit cut inside table even after probing | Wrong blade diameter automatic | Cutting curves in automatic doesn't compensate for blade diameter on some machines | Update post-processor of Pegasus that does compensate for blade diameter on curves, or write correct blade diameter in Pegasus | Change blade parameters in Pegasus |
Z automatic homing is not working properly | Blade diameter is correct, but machine was powered off or restarted soon before cutting inside the table | Open VNC and open Terminal and send halcmd setp modbus_1.show 1 look at Z axis, move Z so that motor rounds are not 0, turn off enable key wait few minutes and then on again, and see if round position reset itself to 0, if it does check Z absolute encoder battery has voltage, if no voltage replace battery, if battery gets hot after replacing it check polarity of battery cables |

machine goes to get picture there is Joint 2 on limit switch error and program goes off | Z automatic homing is not working properly | Joint 2 limit switch error came after starting machine and then get picture |
Open VNC and open Terminal and send halcmd setp modbus_1.show 1 look at Z axis, move Z so that motor rounds are not 0, turn off enable key wait few minutes and then on again, and see if round position reset itself to 0, if it does check Z absolute encoder battery has voltage, if no voltage replace battery, if battery gets hot after replacing it check polarity of battery cables

machine goes in Joint 0 limit error when parking | X automatic homing is not working properly | Joint 0 limits come up after automatic homing and moving machine close to limits | Open VNC and open Terminal and send halcmd setp modbus_1.show 1 look at X axis, move X so that motor rounds are not 0, turn off enable key wait few minutes and then on again, and see if round position reset itself to 0, if it does check X absolute encoder battery has voltage, if no voltage replace battery, if battery gets hot after replacing it check polarity of battery cables | ||
machine moves just one side of the bridge after automatic homing | Y automatic homing is not working properly | When one of the 2 Y joints doesn't home properly the bridge will move only one side | When Y does not home properly it is extremely dangerous DO NOT MOVE Y or can damage the machine, check bridge position, and check Y linear rails alignment, and Y linear bearing conditions, the proper way to restore is to power on and wait for the machine to do automatic homing and then home again the machine, but check Y rails are good to move on first. Open VNC and open Terminal and send halcmd setp modbus_1.show 1 look at Y1 and Y2 axis, DO NOT MOVE Y, turn off enable key wait few minutes and then on again, and see if round position reset itself to 0, if it does check the absolute encoder battery has voltage of the Y that goes to 0, if no voltage replace battery, if battery gets hot after replacing it check polarity of battery cables |
