I have an older Flexlink F1700 that I am having issues with and am hoping someone might have a fix for it.
The issue is that the machine will initialize when you turn it on, meaning the belts will spin. However, it never returns to its 'home' position to pickup boards. The conveyor is sitting about halfway up from the bottom but never goes any higher.
It appears that all of the home switches and gap sensors work fine, as I can actuate them and see the input go on/off on the PLC. Any thoughts on what is preventing this machine from going to the home position?
Anyone in Michigan that works on these?
