Angle Movement Overruns the Commanded Position

Before You Begin

Safety: Stop the machine, follow the site lockout/tagout procedure, verify that hazardous energy is controlled, and release or secure stored mechanical and pneumatic energy before opening a panel, removing a guard, or adjusting components. Electrical work must be performed by a qualified technician.

Angle movements can overrun their target position for several reasons.

1. A partially connected encoder may cause the movement to hunt before eventually finding the correct position.
   • Check the encoder connection and observe the movement.
2. The movement may become stuck and build up force while trying to reach its target. When it breaks free, the unit may move quickly past the indicated position.
   • To correct this issue, clean the arch thoroughly; a piece of wood is likely lodged in the arch.

Clean the angle movement with WD-40 to break down the buildup, or use the kerosene/diesel mixture.

What Correct Looks Like

After restoring the machine through the approved startup procedure, confirm that the position or count changes in the correct direction, returns consistently, and reaches the commanded value without an encoder, calibration, or overrun warning.

Escalate When

If the issue remains, record the exact on-screen message, affected component, indicator-light state, and the last change made. Provide those details to Enventek Technical Support; do not repeatedly recalibrate or replace parts without identifying the cause.
