Common root causes that may lead to a varying result when running a datum test

Sommaire

See winMulti - Running a Datum test for instructions on how to produce the datum holes

...If the datum holes vary after running multiple tests, the issue cannot be resolved by changing parameters.


Datum holes in wrong position - Root Causes
Common Symptoms Root Cause Description Solution
Y and Z axis wandering randomly Backlash in ring The R axis pinion to main ring gear is worn and giving backlash Mesh the gears

Replace R axis pinion assembly

Cutter not inserted in collet correctly Cutter is wobbling in the spindle collet Fit correctly
X axis datum position wandering Profile end not square The end of the profile is not square and therefore tricky to measure.

On machines with a laser on the saw, this is not a problem

on machines without a laser, the "Trimstart" option should be enabled to trim the bar end square

If laser is not fitted, ensure trimstart is on
Cutter not inserted in collet correctly Cutter is wobbling in the spindle collet Fit correctly
Gripper not set up correctly Gripper mechanics are worn or incorrectly set up Ensure gripper setup is correct

See Gripper Mechanical Setup

Y or Z axis jumps exactly 5 or 10mm out Datum Sensor in wrong position The datum system has a "zero pulse" on every leadscrew turn.

The position of the sensor may be on the borderline of this zero pulse

Sometimes the datum jumps to the next zero pulse, hence the datum jumps by one turn of the leadscrew

Move the datum sensor by 2mm in either direction.
X axis jumps 30-40mm in either direction X axis Zero pulse in wrong position The datum system has a "zero pulse" on every motor turn.

The position of the sensor may be on the borderline of this zero pulse

Sometimes the datum jumps to the next zero pulse, hence the datum jumps by one turn of the motor - equating to around 35mm

...Often caused after an X axis motor is removed and replaced

Rotate the motor on the gearbox by 90 degrees
