¶ Probe Unable to Extend
Scenario: The probe does not extend automatically during operation or auto-focus.
¶ Phase 1: Check X-Axis Alignment (Primary Solution)
Before attempting software calibration, you must ensure the X-axis gantry is mechanically aligned. If the gantry is skewed, the probe cannot properly engage the trigger block at the retraction station.
Steps1: Check for Misalignment
- Manually move the X-axis. If the gantry is crooked, the probe mechanism at the top-left corner will not trigger correctly.
Steps2: Level the X-axis Gantry
- Pull the X-axis gantry all the way to the front of the machine.
- Check if both the left and right sides of the gantry touch the Y-axis limiters simultaneously.
- Action: If one side touches but the other has a gap, pull the gantry firmly until both sides are flush and aligned against the limiters.
Steps3: Retest
- Try the auto-focus function again. If the probe works, the issue is resolved. If the probe still does not extend, proceed to Phase 2.
¶ Phase 2: Probe Calibration
If mechanical alignment does not resolve the issue, please perform a probe calibration.
-
Initiate calibration
-
Manually release probe： Locate the spring clip on the side of the distance sensor.
- Press the latch to manually eject the probe.
- Press the latch to manually eject the probe.
-
Adjust module position： Manually move the laser module to the needle return station (top left corner).
- Manually move the laser module (X-axis) toward the needle return table (top left corner).
- Key alignment: 不要将模组完全推到紧贴框架。请将探针位置调整在收针台固定块前方约 1mm 至 2mm 处。
- Manually move the laser module (X-axis) toward the needle return table (top left corner).
-
Perform probe calibration： Select "Calibrate".
-
In progress: After the laser movement ends, the machine will automatically complete the calibration.
If the process fails, please return to step "3. Adjust module position".
