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

We concur - we reduced problems by lowering the booster panel to the horizontal and putting two pedestal fans behind the machine blowing onto it - but I think once the ambient air has heated up the cooling effect is reduced of course - we have a smal

Thanks for the information and insights. Our booster is probably getting too hot, even with AC. There is bouncing when we trim component locations. Every so often, while trimming component locations, the x-axis will start to slowly move away (by i

As as per your information and photo, we attached two box fans under our booster and attached them to the white XGTS connector. The fans are blowing upward with airflow between the booster board and the back of the machine. We will carefully watch

Hi John Yes I am still having the same problems years later! It keeps Fred in work supplying me with replacement tips too! Mydata came up with a supposed fix to alter a parameter called prepick which puts a pause in I think allowing the head to st

Yes that sounds worth a look - thanks. I am also wondering if there is a thermal issue - we had 27 degrees in here yesterday and I remember the Mydata guy telling me to put a desk fan onto the card frame in the summer. I did this last year - when I

Very interesting - esp that you have removed the temperature variable by being airconditioned. We defeinitely do not get strikes at 74 but do at 80 - but also we dont start the machine when its 80, that is the afternoon tempertaure on a rare hot day

We started placing 0402 with regular feeders and wasted every other part untill we got the correct feeders. The cost for most parts runs less than 1/20 th of a cent. Reels come in quanities of 10,000 instead of 5,000. You will also need the correct t

Hi Grant, Does the Flex mag have the corect pal chip in it? Some of the early Flex mags had tm8 pal chips in them. On the machine this did not have much of an effect (it did at one time allow you to have the hydra pick from the flex because the mach
