    servo error - MULTICAM 3000

    Hi,

    I work in a university and we have a Multicam 3000 CNC router. I managed to troubleshoot that one of the two X-servo motors is faulty. When "homing" the machine, the motor turns but bombs out after a few seconds with an error; (Encoder signal problem, confirm motor connection sealed properly. check for visible cable damage).

    What could the problem be. I contacted Multicam South Africa and they mentioned that it could be the reduction gearbox.

    Help? Must I replace the motor, servo; can it be repaired>

    Thank you,

    Regards..
    Ugan ( South Africa)
