Head Grabber Arm

The Head is attached to the Gantry via the Head Grabber Arm which moves vertically on the Gantry via the Gantry Vertical Belt.
The Head Wheels are spring-loaded and roll along the grooves in the Gantry.

Connections:

The Head Grabber Arm contains the Air Connections between the Head and the Gantry as well as the Head Power Plug.
Air Lines are attached matching colors.
- Red Air Line controls Blade Plunge.
- Blue Air Line controls Head Lift.
On newer models, the Head Assembly Power Cable Strain Relief spanner fits around the Head Power Plug.
On the Z1, the M12 Cable is attached between the Head Grabber Arm and the top of the Head.

Troubleshooting:

If the matboard is being pushed aside when you try to cut and the Head isn’t actually cutting/plunging, check to make sure that your Air Compressor is on.
