PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
A
CTION / SOLUTION(S) SECTION
Insufficient air pressure Check air supply (compressor), pressure gauges, pneumatic
hoses and connections
Flow-control valve coupling loose
Tighten valve connection (turn nut
from bottom CW)
RH-2
Black air hose connection or fitting to head loose Check/ tighten hose and fitting threaded into head RH-2
Blade depth not set correctly for magazine Turn blade depth adjusting screw CW for more cut depth M-8
Tip of blade magazine damaged or chipped Send replacement magazine; caution against over-tightening
Mat "ripping" during cut Cutting head not homing correctly, blade not in MEI utility, Resetb RC-1
line with direction of travel
C-axis driver defective or incorrect configuration Motion Console diagnostic of C-axis, replace if defective RC-2, RE-6
C-axis knocked out of alignment during cutting Check for obstructions or tape on mat surface
Incorrect Head Rotation Setting Verify Head Rotation #, Advanced Settings
Mat not cutting through at all No magazine in cutting head Insert blade and magazine
Blade tip broken off. Replace blade
No blade in magazine Insert blade into proper magazine
Flow-control valve closed excessively Gradually open flow-control valve screw/knob M-1
Pneumatic hose connection or obstruction
Check for pinched hose (black o
r
clear), leaking coupling on
M-2
pneumatics panel.
Mat not cutting fully at corners Tip of blade worn or damaged (start of cut) Replace blade
(cut intersections, Undercuts)
Over/Undercuts not properly calibrated
Change (increase), over/undercut values in Setup
M-8
Incorrect Under/overcut option selected in Setup
Select appropriate mat thickness for mat being cut,; M-8
Setup, Under/ Overcuts.
Incorrect head rotation setting Check cutting head for proper homing; see above M-8
Insufficient blade plunge speed, flow control Open valve adjusting screw/knob in small increments; M-8
valve closed down excessively. avoid hooking by opening too much
Flow-control valve coupling loose
Tighten valve connection (turn nut onl
y
from bottom CW)
RH-2
Inconsistent Under/ overcuts in Flow-control valve closed excessively Open flow-control screw in small increments until cut M-8
corners, especially with fabric mats
lengths are of consistent length.
Insufficient blade depth, tip wearing Increase blade depth slightly (CW) M-8
Undercuts at diagonally opposite X or Y-axis pulley loose Tighten all pulley set screws securely, apply Loctite RM-1
corners, ovals also look "lumpy"
X or Y-axis driver defective, missing steps Diagnose in Motion Console, Replace driver if required RC-2, RE-6
