Hi,
Worst problem is one which randomly appears.
Sometimes during engraving my Epilog Helix suddenly stops with the message
X/Y DISABLED:X
Front panel is unusable from that moment until I turn of machine and than turn it on again.
Just before turning on I manually move the carriage to the center of working area and everything seems to be perfectly normal. Carriage reposition itself to a home position and after that engraver acts perfectly normal. This normal condition could be for a few months or a few days or a few hours. And suddenly right in the middle of some job there it is again!
X/Y DISABLED:X
Could this just be the problem with the x-motor?

When mine displayed: X/Y DISABLED:X it was the x-axis motor and it took out the power supply. Call Epilog and they will walk you through the troubleshooting.

What do you mean by: ..."and it took out the power supply"?
Thanks Curt

The power supply had to be replaced too.
