Is your machine a TP9 2U ? If you have a UFP or a MY series machine this condition usually points towards a bad X-wagon motor.

Sorry I misunderstood, its a UFP. And yes it does wobble as you step from slot to slot and when you step through a pcb, not a huge wobble, more of a shimmy really.

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.

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

OK thanks - I wasnt aware that I HAD a small x motor! You mentioned being able to check in the service menu - would you care to point me in the right direction. What amazes me - or rather, worries me, is that repeated mentions to the Mydata service

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
