Gerber Edge FX Fatal Error 630

[bjcoenen]

Recently the Gerber Edge FX vinyl printer I am using has made loud, terrible noises upon starting up. I immediately shut it off and turn it back on and it works fine. That is until a few days ago when starting a job, the foil begins to lower and loud grinding terrible noises start, the foil will not set and it will beep and say "fatal error 630". It is doing it more and more often and I am wondering if anyone knows what may be wrong and or what to look for. I know the problem is in the foil cartridge holder system (where the foil is loaded into). The noise at start up comes when the foil tray lowers and raises itself, and again the problems start when it lowers the foil to begin a job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Our FX I think does the same thing. What we do is pull the cartridge forwards (towards the front of the machine). Sometimes it takes a little force. It seems like it does not want to engage the cartridge. I have worked at this shop for 3.5 years and it has been that way since I started. They told me to pull the cartridge forward and it would work. Been doing it ever since, and have not had any problems. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the quick response. I will try this. Hope it helps.

Have either of you tried this?

I did try the lubrication you suggested. still having issues when it begins to lower the foils.

I think its best to call into Gerber, it's possible that it could be a bent "flag" or something worse.
