    no alarms, just sticks when trying to do a tool change, could it be the cambox or servo amp??

    I'm no tech, just trying to get the ball rolling for you. Someone should be along shortly that knows a helluva lot more than I do.

    Does the arm work normally at 5% rapid? 25? 50 or 100%?

    It strikes me as odd that you don't get alarms. Does the cycle simply stall infinitely?

    It should be giving some sort of alarm...but shy of that I'd say your guy may not be telling you everything that happened:nono:

    I've NEVER had my arm stop half way FWIW - 2006 VF3SS
