Troubleshooting

Machine won’t turn on:

• No power at outlet

• Make sure power cord is plugged into machine and outlet

• Release E-stop button

•

On/Off switch has failed

• Wiring leads are disconnected

• Fuse blown

Failed Initialization screen test:

• Axis driver card failure

•

Limit sensors are bad

• Solenoid is bad

• Machine has moved past the limit switches

LCD screen displays garbage or grossly inaccurate information:

•

Machine temperature is too cold/hot – do not operate until machine temperature reaches

above 7°C (45°F) but not more than 32°C (90° F).

• Restore calibrations from locked area.

After pressing [CYCLE START] the machine does not move into the sharpening cycle:

• Make sure drill has been loaded properly and sensor button has been depressed.

• Close door.

• Software has caused machine to hang up. Turn machine off and then on again.

• Cycle start switch needs replacement.

Drill rotates in front of fiber optic sensor failing to locate cutting edge:

• Drill diameter is of a smaller dimension with a thick web. Try Single Point Alignment.

• Color of drill is interfering with cutting edge detection – typically gold or black drills. Use

silver marking pen to color cutting lip

• False diameter was input or detected in manual mode.

•

Fiberoptic Amplifier Baseline setting has changed. Contact Darex for instructions.

• Cutting edge is broken

• Cutting edge has shiny build up, such as aluminum

•

Surface finish too rough

•

Calibration of fiber optic sensor is incorrect and will need recalibrated

• Fiber optic lens is loose

• Fiber optic sensor needs to be replaced

• Fiber optic lens needs to be cleaned or replaced
