Looking at a Tree Journeyman 325 with a Dynapath Delta 20 control.....
Machine has been inside but offline (unwired, unpowered) for a couple of years.
Owner had machine wired in and powered up yesterday for me to demo.
He called and said the Z axis was not jogging.... I was not there in person (yet)so I dont know if any warning codes displayed or led were lit. Owner by his own admission is not familiar with the machine.
Going to see in person Thursday.... I know there is atleast one battery in the controller.... could a dead battery on a board cause the dead Z ??
Are there multiple batteries on multiple boards ??
Machine was fully functional when taken out of service 2 years ago.....
What should i be looking for ??? Low voltages at power supply ??
Owner has complete original documentation with diagrams and voltage specs.
Hoping its something easy but also realize these older machines can be fussy and tempermental.
Dont want to end up with 4600lbs of useless weight....no handwheels so no jog....no chips
