Trouble with Orac TD5/O/R: Slide is not moving

Hi!

Like the topic says, slide is not moving anywhere, not in z- and neither in y-direction. Numbers are running on the screen as usual, but nothing happens. I've checked the fuses,cables and connectors and everything seems to be ok there. I can move the slide manually by turning stepper motors, so it isn't jammed.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Sounds like a drive or power to the drive fault.
If both drives aren't powering up, then I would check fuses, relays, emergency stop switches / relay contacts ...

There have been a few other posts by orac users experiencing drive faults like these:
