Hi,
I look after 3 x RV4's and 1 x RV1 at my company. I have a fault with one RV4s where the vacuum head rotation motor is very noisy in operation. When off and disengaged from the computer, the rotation wheel can be rotated by finger and can be felt to be nice and smooth. Previously, the motor was graunchy after a Z axis collision, but this was repaired, corrected and the motor was stripped down for a clean and re-assemble, and confirm there was not anything found to be damaged or anything that could impair the motor.
The graunching noise can be heard on arm warm up or when checking tool pick up, it seems to affect the rotation angle as the placed components that are laid are twisted and poorly aligned. Is it time for a replacement motor - if so, anyone got one? Or is it something on the arm control board that ends up with the wrong voltage being supplied to the motor.
Your experience and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Roger
