Ultimaker Factor 4 Repair Manual

Repair manual
Gantry module
The gantry is the XY part of the UltiMaker Factor 4 motion system. It is engineered for precision and reliability. The
gantry module contains motors, belts, pulleys, and the X beam on which the print head is mounted.
Note: The print head is not part of the gantry module and can be placed aside during this repair.
Although it is a complex assembly, removing the gantry module is quick and simple. The entire system can be taken
out of the machine in minutes. When the gantry requires maintenance, this can be done outside the printer for better
access to components. In case of an issue, swap the gantry for a replacement module for minimal downtime.
Requirements
Serviceability
• Operator level:
ordinary, instructed, or skilled
• Service level: 1
• Time needed: 5 - 10 minutes
Notes
• The gantry module is available in a sturdy pelican case, intended for hot swaps of the module, or in a cardboard
packaging. Only the packaging differs; the modules are exactly the same.
• Some components must be disconnected. Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cable before starting
this procedure.
• Before starting this procedure, prepare a surface on which to place the gantry after removal. The surface must
be flat, stable, and at least 600 x 500 mm.
• This process requires removing the print head from the gantry. Ensure both print cores have cooled down to a
safe temperature or remove them from the print head to prevent the risk of burns.
• After the replacement, ensure to perform the appropriate calibrations as listed at the end of the document.
