Stationary or Carriage Horizontals Will Not Move

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.

If you find that one or more of the horizontals don’t move in or out anymore you more than likely have one of two issues.

Issue 1: Saw dust has built up in the Horizontals and is stopping the movement.

Solution: Use compressed air to blow out the Horizontal tubes.

Issue #2: The gears get blocked by saw dust build-up by the motor.

Solution: Use compressed air to blow out around the motors themselves.

What Correct Looks Like

• The commanded horizontal movement starts, reaches its target, and stops normally.
• The movement does not stall, hunt, or lose position after cleaning and inspection.
• Stop and escalate if movement remains inconsistent or an encoder/calibration warning returns.

Recheck the completed work against the article, restore the machine through the approved startup procedure, and confirm the expected result in a controlled test before returning to production.

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.
