Autec Gantry issue

[ingov906]

Had our "know it all" perish last week just trying to pick up and repair some ongoing issues.

We recently lost our Autec AES-EV1 yesterday morning. Received an error "both front and rear proximity switches are made" I'm done a bunch of basic troubleshooting.. checked fuses, made sure voltages etc are going to the sensors. Swapped out a relay... When we run a cycle it acts like its not knowing where its XYZ is and attempts to run off the track.

I'm not familiar with this unit hoping to find a manual or some insight.

hello gentlemen can you help diagnose my problem. I have a EV1 from Autec. Manager put on wrong hydro line to the drive motors after finding a small leak. Of course the line bust half way through first wash. Since than we have replaced the directional proportional valve and no hydro is flowing to the 2 drive motors but the hydrolic spinners is working. The machine will not move forward or backward. Any ideas?

I don't have my manuals in front of me at the moment. 500 miles away atm *-- I will say Autec was amazing at diagnosing my issue. I'd recommend giving them a call.
