My Maho MH600C has been working well for several years with no issues. I went to home it yesterday and it gave an 09 error in vertical Y axis (Z axis as I am configured). I had the 4 the axis dividing head on the table so I took that off to remove some weight. Same error. I tried reversing the direction to home by changing constant 280 to reverse the limit switch approach direction and same error. I removed dynamic following in that axis and now no error but the axis still does not move.
However, I noticed that after pressing the -Z once, the Y axis (Z axis as I am configured) servo motor was spinning until I reset the control. No weird noises, just the sound of the servo spinning if you get close to it. I cant get in there to see until I remove the apron. Im guessing that just requires removing the top and bottom button head allens at the hinges. Not much room to see even then as the table is all the way down. I might just lift it up a few inches. Think its either a broken drive belt or something funky with the clutch. The axis does not drift during any of this. Anyone have any suggestions? I dont see any reference to mechanical problems with the Y axis on the forum.
