0200 X-axis (carrier in/out) motor did not find the opto (home) sensor
A motor was unable to move to its “home” position as registered by feedback
from an optical sensor.
Probable Causes:
• Defective or broken optical sensor.
• Flex cable is disconnected or damaged.
• X-axis movement is limited so that the optical sensor cannot be
interrupted.
Note: In cases where a sensor is not functioning, the
motor will drive the axis to its mechanical stop and
generate substantial noise.
