X-Drive Cable Installation
•
This repair requires timing and other adjustments and should be done by an authorized service
technician.
When installing the x-drive cable it is extremely important that you do not damage the protective coat-
ing of the cable, ensure that the windings on the cable spool are correct, that the cable is correctly ten-
sioned, and the installation is done precisely as provided in these instructions.
When replacing the x-drive cable it is strongly recommended that the x-drive cable assembly be ordered
and installed. The precision windings and lengths of the cable extending from the spool is critical and is
best done only at the factory.
•
CAUTION!! Use extreme care to avoid damaging the protective coating on the x-drive cable. If
the coating is damaged, the cable will eventually fray and/or corrode.
•
CAUTION!! At any time when the machine is either powered down or in E-Stop mode, neither
the X-Carriage nor the X-Beam should be moved at a high rate of speed. If there is a desire to
manually move either the carriage or the beam, they should be pushed or pulled GENTLY to
prevent serious damage to the main control board.
Replacement Parts Needed:
• x-cable assembly (x-cable prewound on spool)
• Order other replacement parts if needed, such as pulleys
• Replacement hardware if any screws or nuts are stripped
X-Cable Assembly Installation:
1. Remove left and right arm covers.
2. Remove the upper arm back cover.
3. Remove the old x-drive cable assembly.
4. Make sure the x-carriage is positioned all the way to the right (as seen from the back of the ma-
chine) at a hard stop.
5. Verify the 8mm bushing is installed on the X-motor shaft.
