At times the Centerline and or Angle motors will stall when trying to move to position. This typically occurs due to one or more of these reasons. Debris has gotten into the chain that drives these movements. Debris has gotten into the slide on either the angle or the...

The angle chain need to be periodically checked to maintain proper chain tension. Proper chain tension will allow it move slightly from side to side but not so much that it becomes floppy or is able to move significant amounts, conversely you don’t want it so...

Step 1: Remove the blue metal shroud that protects the angle encoder. There are (4) 9/16″ bolts that you will need to remove. Step 2: Inspect the encoder for anything that could cause the encoder to malfunction. One or both of the metal tabs/clips that hold the...

Angles can overrun when moving to position due to a couple of reasons. An encoder that is partially connected and allows the movement to hunt and then eventually find the postion. Check the encoder for that movement. The movement gets stuck and builds up power trying...

The Angles or Arches are the movements that pivot the blade motors to angle. That is done with a semi circular arch, 50-2 chain gearbox, motor and encoder. The gearbox for the angle movement is a hollow shaft gearbox with a shaft and sprocket to drive the number 50-2...
