  • 1.  Gravograph IS700

    Posted 05-12-2025 12:29

    Hello Colleagues

    Friday we started having an issue with our IS700 engraver arm not moving front to back 

    Can anyone suggest troubleshooting options?

    Thank you for any suggestions

    There are a few user groups on Facebook. Search "Gravotech Operators Group."  I think some of the Gravotech tech people monitor this.

    I would start by reloading the driver, it may have gotten corrupted.  Confirm the speed settings for the X and Y axis in the software driver.  I would follow that up with checking the wiring connections on the Y-axis motor on both ends, even reseating them in case there is some corrosion buildup.  Check for any mechanical binding that could be taking place along the y-axis lead screw.  These will be good things to do prior to contacting technical support.

    Would you mind sharing what the issue was?  It's always good for us to know if a similar issue arises with someone else.

    There are many possibilities, Belts, stepper motor, controller, wiring.  We do lots of repairs on most all engravers. I believe the IS700 is a 1219 Vanguard 7000 with an IS controller. We do charge for tech support but can possibly give you some advise
