Warranty

This document defines the procedure for fault finding and repairing TSA returned to
the OEM after expiry of the warranty.

This document is to be used in conjunction with Renishaw parts supplied in the
Repair Kit (A-2116-0131).

Renishaw plc cannot take responsibility for any Renishaw product repaired by the
OEM.

The OEM may only repair Renishaw product if its warranty has expired.
Equipment requiring attention under warranty must be returned to your supplier. No

claims will be considered where Renishaw equipment has been misused, or
unauthorised persons have attempted repairs or adjustments.

PRECAUTIONS

Safety

Remove power before performing any maintenance operations.
Only competent persons observing relevant safety precautions may carry out repairs.

Anti static handling

The electronic circuit board assemblies within the TSA and those supplied in the
Repair Kit are sensitive to static discharge.

Anti static precautions must be observed during handling or installation of the
electronic circuit board assemblies. Failure to do so could result in permanent
damage to the electronics.

Product integrity

The torque wrench settings defined in this manual ensure the integrity of sealing
elements and fixings within the TSA.

Failure to use these settings when repairing TSA could result in coolant ingress or
poor repeatability.

1.0 INITIAL INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TEST.
Visual Inspection

Look for signs of damage by customer.
Look for signs of coolant ingress/damage.

Guidelines on Damage by Customer
Damage can be assessed by checking the arm tube for any distortion or creasing.

Check for any distortion in alignment of the probe module to the probe holder.
Inspect the hub and base castings for evidence of a machine crash i.e. chipped paint
or dents. Inspect the Damage Limitation Device (fitted between the arm and hub) for
cracks/distortion at the thin webs around the mounting holes.

Leaks
Leaks can only be positively identified upon removal of the cover plates as per

section 3. Leakage can manifest itself as any of a variety of failure modes.
Ingress will be identified by the presence of an oily film over internal components or

visible pools of coolant. If a leak has been over a long period of time, there will be
green deposits around the area of ingress.

Cable
Inspect cable for any sign of damage to the insulation, look for signs of crushing or

chafing along length of cable.

Functional Test

Attach complete TSA assembly to a rigid mounting and connect wiring in accordance
with the TSA Installation & User’s Guide (H-2000-5088-05) section 5.

Make use of the Diagnostic LEDs as detailed in section 5 and the TSA Installation &
User’s Guide section 11.

If the TSA hub is not already up in the ‘Stow’ position, drive it up to the ‘Stow’
position. If the hub fails to move consult section 2 (d) of Fault Diagnosis.

When up in the ‘Stow’ position, ensure: -‘Stow’ status LED is ON

‘Active’ status LED is OFF

If the LEDs do not show the correct status, consult section 2 (b) of Fault Diagnosis.
Drive the hub down to ‘Active’. See that the hub has a soft start and rotates smoothly

down into the ‘Active’ position.

1

When down in the ‘Active’ position, ensure: - ‘Stow’ status LED is OFF

‘Active’ status LED is ON

If the LEDs do not show the correct status, consult section 2 (a) of Fault Diagnosis.
Attempt to rotate the hub by applying slight hand pressure to the arm in the ‘Stow’

and ‘Active’ directions. Ensure there is no rotational movement of the hub with
respect to the base in either direction. If the hub can be moved freely consult section
2 (e) of Fault Diagnosis.

Drive the hub to a position halfway between ‘Stow’ and ‘Active’ and switch off the
power to the TSA.

Holding the hub casting firmly by hand, rotate it in both directions using moderate
force. The maximum permissible rotation is 2°. If the hub can be moved further than
this consult section 2 (e) of Fault Diagnosis.

Switch on the power to the TSA and allow the hub to continue to its ‘Stow’ position.
Disconnect the power to the TSA before removing it.

2.0 FAULT DIAGNOSIS.

Possible Faults, Causes and Solutions
Problem: ­(a) Arm moves into ‘Active’ position, but ‘Active’ confirm LED is not lit.

Possible Causes Rectification

Consult section 4.3
or broken

b) Hard limits PCB defective Consult section 3.3
c) Control PCB fault Replace PCB, section 3.4
d) Loose mechanics Check all recommended torque values

(c) Arm moves too slow or with excessive judder

Possible Causes Rectification

a) Main bearing seizing up

Return TSA to Renishaw if

renewal/replacement is required
b) Motor defective

Return TSA to Renishaw if

renewal/replacement is required
c) Control PCB fault Replace PCB section 3.4
d) Loose mechanics Check all recommended torque values

3

(d) Arm does not move in either direction.

Possible Causes Rectification

a) Control PCB failure Replace PCB section 3.4
b) Motor failure Return TSA to Renishaw if

renewal/replacement is required
c) Total main bearing seizure Return TSA to Renishaw if

renewal/replacement is required
d) Wiring fault Check all wiring as per TSA

Installation & User’s Guide (H-2000-

5088-05) section 5.

(e) Excessive hub end float and rotation
