Came in this morning from normal weekend shutdown, and hand controller will not power up. Not a single green light!! No power down on Friday, normal startup this morning. Checked fuses and wires, cant seem to figure it out! Any tips or hints?
Did notice this after look through our other machines main power box, the drive light is not lit up on the problem machine. Tried changing controller from machine to machine with no luck.
Are your black boxes turned on?
Sometimes I have to press in on the e-stop and then release them for the machine to recognize that estop is not engaged. Not a common issue thought.
I had the same problem shortly after we purchased our CMM. When I turned on the controller, it continued to blink green. After a few days of this, I had nothing at all! It ended up being the main power supply that went bad. Luckily, it was covered under the warranty and Hexagon swapped it out within a few days. I never really got an answer as to why it happened, but i always sweat bullets whenever it takes longer than usual to fire up.
this means the machine isnt connected to the servos or isnt powering up properly. you swapped the hand controller your said? and it made no difference?
