Y Motor Encoder Test

Diagnostic Test for Tool Force (VCM)

This test is to diagnose the VCM. If the VCM is bad, the tool carriage cannot perform the up/ down action that generates the
tools force on the material.

Note: VCM means Voice Coil Motor that gen erates tool force

Diagnostic Test for Motor Movement

This feature is to diagnose the X and Y motors and drIIIers. If you encounter a motor movement problem, try to change the
main board first.

If the problem still re mains after replacing the main board, try replacing the motor.
