Re: plasma cam carriage jam
Hi Shiner,
It sounds like the connectors from the wiring harness to the motors are loose.
Check the pins and sockets (the rectangular looking connectors) on the main wiring harness that connect to the motors. Make sure that they are flush with one another, because If they are loose, this error message will pop up.
This can also happen when connectors from the wiring harness cables are plugged in backwards and to the incorrect motors (happened to me the first time I set up the machine....operator error on my part!). Luckily, if you look at the end of the connectors (both on the motors and the wiring harness), they are different and it is pretty obvious which motors they are supposed to be connected to.
Plasmacam tech support can also help out as well, give them a call if your still having problems.
I hope that this helped.
