7.6 When turns on machine, control panel shows "X motor malfunction" (see
picture below) and machine cannot finish initialization.
Diagnostic process:
Every GCC laser x/y table machine will have initialization process when machine turns on.
Machine will first rotate x motor and let the lens carriage move to right side and touch the x
axis sensor on x motor pcb. Then the whole x axis rail move to front side (y axis) and touch
the y axis sensor on x motor pcb. And then the lens carriage will move to top-left corner
(origin position) and finish initialization process. When machine cannot finish initialization
process and shows "X motor malfunction", there are four parts could be the reason: X
motor, main board, x motor pcb and x motor flat cable.
The logic is that main board needs to control x motor and get the feedback signal from x
motor and x motor pcb. When main board cannot do these, these four parts are the related
parts.
Situation 1: When lens carriage does not move at all and already shows "X motor
malfunction", that means the x motor is defective or main board (x motor chip) is defective
or x motor flat cable is broken somewhere or does not connect well.
Situation 2: When lens carriage can move to right side but it stops there and shows "X
motor malfunction". The most possible part is x motor pcb (the x axis sensor is defective).
The next possible part is x motor flat cable (broken somewhere and cause the signal
cannot send back to main board).
