The support section of the TigerStop website (
) contains resources that can be useful for
troubleshooting, including videos, manuals, and frequently asked questions.
Movement and accuracy problems can frequently be resolved with the following steps:
1. Turn the system off.
2. Ensure that the entire range of travel is clear.
3. Turn the system on and run the home routine (
4. Find the end limits (
).
5. Calibrate (
).
6. Check the scale (
).
7. Check the kerf (
Movement and Accuracy
X-out
When the drive indicator on the TigerStop controller (
) displays an X, the motor has been disabled to protect the
equipment. An x-out can frequently be cleared by making a manual movement (
) or running the home routine
(
X-outs are typically caused by signaling, settings, or overtaxing the system.
Signaling
The DM (“dead-man”) signal indicates that the saw is at rest. An x-out will occur if the DM signal is lost during a movement.
Attempting to run the home routine while the DM signal is not engaged will result in the message “Fix DM: Saw Not Safe”.
•
Check the mounting to ensure that the DM sensor is triggered when the saw is at rest and insensitive to vibration.
•
Check cables and connections between the DM sensor and the TigerStop.
Settings
Hidden settings control the drive thresholds. When these thresholds are exceeded, an x-out will occur. Speeds and scale
settings outside of the normal range can easily cause this condition.
•
Do not change the thresholds without specific instructions from TigerStop customer service.
•
Speeds should never exceed 25 in/s (635 mm/s) for a TigerStop, or 30 in/s (762 mm/s) for a TigerTurbo.
•
Scale should be between 2 and 3.
Overwork
Mechanical causes of X-outs include pushing too much at once, jamming the machine, or internal binding. None of these
conditions are good for machinery lifespan, so repeated mechanical x-outs should be addressed.
•
Weight is not the only factor in required pushing force. Wet wood on flat tables, for instance, can create a suction effect
that reduces the allowable weight.
•
Jamming risk can often be addressed with process adjustments, fence and clamp positions, and tabletop heights.
•
Binding can require cleaning machine internals, replacing bearings, or adjustments to mounting points.
•
The drive test (
) can help pinpoint locations when investigating a binding issue.
