I managed to get my laser post processors installed and working correctly today which was a huge win. Later in the day, I wanted to run another file and noticed my Y axis doesn't move at all on command. Im using a pendant.
I didn't unhook any cables today leading up to the stoppage
I checked the cable connections after disconnecting power.
I know its not the actual motor because I switched X and Y axis and Y works fine on the machine....just like normal, but of course, then X doesn't work.
I have it narrowed down to the controller box, at least but have no idea where to go from here.
I checked the fuse. of course, its fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Scott
Lost my Y axis today. Shark HD4, Help!

Update. Thanks to Next wave.
Update. I called Next Wave this morning and got through to a human being on call #2. Spoke with Scott. He walked me though a couple quick diagnostics and it was determined that the problem was with my Driver Motor board inside the control box (Not the Pendant, the main control box) (Part number 200049 $89 on the website) He determined this because all the motors work correctly if I switch the cables with the exception of ANY cable that was connected to the Y axis plug on my control box.
He determined my Shark was on warranty and is shipping the new part to me today. (Free)
I removed the old one very easily (trust me, its cake once you see this board inside the control box.) remove 2 screws on the inside and the 2 lugs on the outside that the motor cable screws into once you plug it in. done.
Ill update when Im back up and running.
I just thought I would post the specifics for anyone in the future who may come across this situation.

Thanks for posting the update. I'm glad you got it figured out. Hopefully you're up and running again quickly.

Last update. I'm back up and running!
Got the part the day following my call. I live in same state as Next Wave. No charge for the part. I installed the new driver board in about 5-7 min. Easy. Machine is up and running like new.
This big problem turned out to be a pretty easy fix.
Thanks all.
