VI.2 Fault-finding
The table below should be regarded as a “First-aid” box. There may be a wide variety of
possible reasons for a fault, depending on the conditions in your system.
Multi-axis systems may conceal further causes of a fault.
Our applications department can give you further assistance with problems.
Fault possible causes ways to remove the cause of the fault
