Hi all,
I’m running into an issue with my Maslow 4.0 during cuts. The lower right belt keeps loosening and ends up unwinding inside the belt spool.This happens partway through the job. I’ve already done a successful cut on the left side of the frame. This is the first time doing a cut in the right side of the frame.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I’m trying to understand what could be causing this and how could I try and fix it.
Version: 1.06
Can you get a video of it happening?
The first things that come to mind are that it could be a calibration issue (running calibration again might fix it) or it could be a lose magnet in one of the rollers.
Does it happen exactly the same every time?
If you move the machine back to the left side of the frame does the belt tighten up or stay lose?
I have the same issue however with the lower left belt while working on the left side.
I’ve been cutting in the middle with no issues, only did a 800x800 5x5 calibration.
I’ll run a new more ambitious calibration and report back.
I’m on 1.07
I ran another test before calibration as I would have to remove the stock to calibrate.
The same thing happened and the cut failed the same way.
It was the second time so no stock was removed. I took some videos and can add the serial output
The videos in a Dropbox folder:https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/4nqciga1lmbpaqcnl8rk5/AF5CQpflxpItjBfoG11AGFA?rlkey=s1oxs0f74kskr5rdgff1dutrm&st=g91cn4dc&dl=0
I did a new calibration with calibration force 1200, 1200x800 and 7x7 grid.
The issue with slack belts is resolved.
So the final solution was to run the calibration process but with more force?
Yes.
When I used less force the calibration did not converge, could there be a problem with friction in the arms?
I just upgraded my 4 to 4.1.
Maybe, but also it’s fine to just have things set to a higher tension. 1200 used to be the default setting so that’s not crazy high or anything.
