MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 21, 2012 A little more info might help. What cutter? Do you have the cutter grounded to the stand? What do you mean dragging the blade? It is supposed to drag the blade. Do you mean the blade holder doesn't raise at all? Do you have the blade correctly in the blade holder? Adjusted correctly, so that the blade is barely sticking out of the blade holder? Explain a bit better please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillsRacing77 3 Posted April 21, 2012 The blade does not raise or do anything... The holder is not raising.. does not pick up blade period.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 21, 2012 sounds like you need a z-chip http://www.uscutter.com/index/page/product/product_id/1406/category_id/70/product_name/Z-Axis+Carriage+Chip+for+MH+Series+Cutter Z-Axis Carriage Chip for MH Series Cutter Z Axis Chip for Refine Series Plotters, models: MH365, MH721, MH871, MH1101, MH1351. This chip controls the up/down motion of the carriage arm. If your carriage arm is no longer moving up/down then you will want to first call our support department to confirm that the issue is being caused by the chip, but this will most likely be the part that you need. This part will ship via US postal service for free if your unit is under warranty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 21, 2012 do you have your cutter grounded to the stand? If you don't, static will quite possibly zap the chip again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 21, 2012 for the price, it wouldn't hurt to have a spare chip, then you won't be down if it happens again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
