Bad small X motor most likely. Other possibilities: Bad cables Bad Card

Chris, Are you sure about the joystick trackball statement? He said he is seing "bounce" when he steps through placements and when he trims mag positions. That would indicate a issue with the small x-mot system to me.

Peter, GO TEST YOUR SMALL X-MOTOR IN THE SERVICE PROGRAM !!!!!! Do not start changing parameter files ! I assume that your machine worked fine at one time with the original parameter file.

Ok I can get into the service program - under Motors there is only a single X motor listed. And what test can you do - seems that I can only display ranges and settings? No test as such?

If the X axis is moving then maybe your Elmo is not adjusted correctly. There is a procedure to adjust it in the manual(assuming you have the original manual). The correct location is XGTS which is a white connector on the booster. The fans are 24V

If you still have trouble with this problem try calling MyData and ask their opinion. I know this sounds simple and maybe you have tried already, but I have found in the past that there are certain techs who really know their stuff. Glen Gayton in B

Hi Thanks for the input. Problem is only ever the A12 plastic tip (no damage ever seen on any other tool). I suspect we have not helped by skipping the retrim operation when we have changed a part so we'll do that but also I just discovered setti

I was asking if it was a TP9 2U...... If you have a UFP machine then you are in luck. It is most likely the small X-motor. You can test it in the service program. Does the X-axis bounce when you are trimming magazines and stepping through placement

The original post was back in 2007. My most recent communication with Peter was last year and he was still having the problem 4 years later. Since it is temperature related, I am suspecting the card in question got partially cooked once and is now al
