“Babysit Triggered” Message
Note:
The OMAX has several switches monitoring machine operation. When any of these switches
are triggered, the abrasive jet nozzle immediately stops operation and no longer continues
machining or is able to be moved. When an attempt is made to restart operation, a “Babysit
Triggered” error message appears. To recover from a babysit condition, first, correct the cause
that triggered the babysit, then hold down the Override switch on the controller front panel.
Caution:
Caution: Ensure that you know what triggered the condition before attempting a
babysit override. Continuing to operate the OMAX by overriding these switches may
damage the OMAX. If you are unable to determine what triggered a babysit
condition, contact OMAX Customer Support.
Condition and Possible Causes
Corrective Action
Low air pressure
Verify that system air pressure is 70 - 95 PSI.
Fault in a servo circuit

identifying which axis is at fault. Whenever a fault is indicated,
contact Technical Support.
Pause button pressed
Release Pause button.

Water Comes Up the Abrasive Tube
Condition and Possible Causes
Corrective Action
The nozzle body is loose.
Tighten the nozzle body.
The mixing tube in the abrasivejet
nozzle is plugged.
Use Make
to turn the pump On and Off in an attempt to dislodge
the plug. If this does not work, it may be necessary to disassemble
and clean the nozzle, or replace the mixing tube.
The standoff distance is so narrow
that the nozzle is plugged by the
work piece before it starts cutting
and water is forced up the abrasive
tube.
Increase the standoff between 0.040" (1.0 mm) and 0.050"
(1.3 mm).
Note:
With a motorized Z-axis, in Make, under Motion
Preferences, it is possible to set a pierce height that is
different from the cutting height. To help reduce nozzle
plugging, consider setting the pierce height higher than
the cutting height.
The pump is not delivering the
pressure specified.
Measure the pressure to see if it is below specification.
Follow the pump troubleshooting procedures.
The jet looks wide and fuzzy
Condition and Possible Causes
Corrective Action
The jewel that forms the jet is
chipped, dirty or out of tolerance.
Replace the jewel and the jewel holder.
