Over time the drive belts can get a build up of dust that can reduce their grip on the work piece. Your machine can even alert you of this issue by with an “Excessive Backlash: Please Clean Belts” message. This video shows how to clean the drive belts restoring their grip.
This video shows how to ground your machine to protect against static buildup that can effect the the processors in the RAVEN.
RAVEN CNC over time will require maintenance and part replacement. This video covers the replacement of the Y axis servo motor.
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
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
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.
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
