If your DC1317 Dual-Column CNC Milling Center is experiencing inconsistent positioning—especially during mold machining—you’re not alone. In fact, over 68% of CNC machine downtime in high-precision manufacturing stems from misalignment or faulty feedback systems (based on a 2023 industry survey by the International Association of Manufacturing Engineers).
| Alarm Code | Meaning | Typical Cause |
|---|---|---|
| ALM-021 | Axis Overtravel Protection Triggered | Mechanical wear or incorrect zero point calibration |
| ALM-105 | Encoder Error – Position Feedback Loss | Worn encoder cables or loose connection at ball screw end |
| ALM-212 | Servo Motor Overload During Acceleration | Misaligned coupling or bearing wear in drive train |
“In our experience with over 500+ DC1317 units worldwide, ALM-021 and ALM-105 account for nearly 40% of all positioning-related service calls. The key? A structured diagnostic checklist—not guesswork.” — Senior Field Engineer, Kebo Technical Support Team
When dealing with double-column structures like the DC1317, thermal expansion and long-term heavy-load deformation can subtly shift alignment—even if no alarm triggers. We recommend checking:
You’ve likely seen this before: a machine runs fine one day, then suddenly loses accuracy mid-job. It’s often due to unnoticed mechanical degradation—especially in dual-column setups where asymmetry builds up over time. Don’t wait until it impacts batch quality. Implement a monthly inspection routine using our Free CNC Maintenance Checklist (available below).
