What to do if Anilam RBS-T DRO shows no movement?

  Nicholas MartinezAug 2, 2025
  If your Anilam Media Converter DRO shows no movement, and the display fluctuates between 0 and the resolution setting, it could be due to several reasons. The reader head might be over torqued or improperly aligned, or the reader head alignment brackets may not have been removed. A damaged cable could also be the cause. To resolve this, verify the encoder and reader head are secure, reinstall the plastic alignment brackets and remount if necessary. You can also try swapping cable connections at the DRO to see if the problem moves to another axis. If the issue persists, consider replacing the reader head.

  If the Anilam Media Converter DRO does not repeat to zero, it could be due to several factors. These include issues also listed for inaccurate distance measurements, loose machine gibs, a loose reader head mounting bracket or reader head, or a faulty reader head. To address this, verify the encoder and reader head are secure, reinstall the plastic alignment brackets, and remount if needed. Also, check that the machine gibs are properly adjusted. To further diagnose the problem, swap the cable connections at the DRO to see if the problem moves to another axis. If all else fails, the reader head may need to be replaced.

How to fix inaccurate distance on Anilam Media Converter?

  Jeffrey HinesAug 15, 2025
  If your Anilam Media Converter is displaying inaccurate distance measurements, yet the DRO repeats to zero, several factors could be the cause. These include excessive torque on the mounting bolts, excessive weight on the table causing yaw or pitch, using a resolution of 0.002 mm or less in an uncontrolled temperature environment, a worn lead screw, or the reader head alignment brackets still being installed. To resolve this, verify the reader head brackets were removed, ensure the encoder and reader head are secure, and reinstall the plastic alignment brackets and remount if necessary.

What to do if Anilam RBS-T Media Converter DRO shows no movement in a specific area?

  Nicholas RichardAug 21, 2025
  If your Anilam Media Converter DRO shows no movement in a specific area of the encoder, it could be due to several reasons, including issues that cause inaccurate distance measurements or a loose encoder mount. Another potential cause is that the glass inside the encoder is dirty or scratched. To address this, verify the encoder and reader head are secure, reinstall the plastic alignment brackets and remount if necessary. Additionally, clean the glass inside the encoder, referring to the 'Maintenance and Cleaning' section for instructions.
