  • New X axis motor for Graphtec

    Posted by Neil Davey on July 17, 2012 at 8:42 pm

    We need a new motor for our Graphtec CE3000-60.
    It’s the X axis motor and I’ve been quoted £105.00 from Graphtec.
    Would anyone know if the motor is a standard type that could be purchased cheaper from elsewhere just out of interest?

    I explained the problem to Graphtec.

    As an update though, this morning, I took the circuit board out and hoovered it as it was quite dusty and "Hey Presto" it’s working again!!

    Not very scientific I know but it saved me wasting my money and time 😀

    didn’t think it was mechanical… a motor goes over time.. e.g. bushes etc
