To remove and replace the X-Drive Gears you will need the following tools: Removing the X-Drive Gears Reassembling the X-Drive Gears
RAVEN Troubleshooting
Position Errors in X on a RAVEN
The RAVEN uses the AccuTrack belt to lock onto the tracking roller. Because of the positive engagement the RAVEN trust the tracking rollers reading without exception. Any error on X (over .1 inches) with a RAVEN is always the result of coming off of the AccuTrack belt or an overload in X. Preventing X position
RAVEN Troubleshooting
Workpiece not feeding in and out of the RAVEN
Workpieces not feeding in and out of the RAVEN are the result of an overload in X. This overload can be caused by An overload will result in one of three results. If the belts appear to be moving but the workpiece is not. Determine and remove the cause of the overload. Run the X
RAVEN Troubleshooting
Edge delta missed
The RAVEN uses the scale sensors on the back roller to find the location of the back edge of the workpiece. To do this RAVEN moves the board out from under the back roller looking for the pressure to drop off, then moving back under the roller while mapping the output of the scale sensors.
RAVEN Troubleshooting
Y and Z Stalls
The RAVEN is a servo system. That means that each axis has a sensor called an encoder that tracks the movement of the axis. The on-board computer commands each axis to move a certain distance over a certain interval of time and then compares the actual distance traveled (by reading the encoder) to the distance

RAVEN Tutorial – Using the EdgeDetect Process
The EdgeDetect process ensures accurate indexing of your board edges for the quick project positioning. This process will appear between the board positioning and load bit screen where it asks for the actual bit.
