ORDERING DETAILS
IMPORTANT!
The model 98z has several differences from the later DHC and DHC2. Most of them are in the Controller and the Z axis both of which get replaced . The X carriage has to be modified (4 holes accurately drilled) One issue is that the encoders on the old 98Z motors had really low resolution (line counts and will not work with the modern servo drivers we use in the PZ-CAM Retro Kit. As a result the encoders have to be changed and checked on both motors. This is not something that we advise the typical end user attempt. Please do the following steps when ordering the PZ-CAM update for the 98Z:
>1. Carefully Remove the entire X/Z axis carriage and Z axis assembly fromn the gantry cross arm including the X servo motor . Unplug the motors and the Y axis cables 2, Remove the Y Motor from its bracket and unplug the power and encoder cables from the motor. 3. Order and pay for the 98Z Retro fit kit . Write down the invoice number . 4. Go to our website and fill out the RMA form at http://www.candcnc.com 5. Use the contact and address information you want for shipping. SUBMIT the form and include the INVOICE number for the Kit you purchased and RETAIN your RMA number for use later. 6.We will send you a “Return Shipping Kit ” that is designed to protect and hold the components removed from the table. There will be instructions inside on how to packing the parts. 7. Ship the box back using an insured carrier (Fed EX, UPS, DHL) with tracking, WE CANNOT FIX DAMAGED SERVO MOTORS. 8. Your X carriage will be modified and out new Z mounted and tested . Your X and Y servo motors will be upgraded with two new high resolution (500 line) rotary encoders and tested using the G5 controller in your kit.
