Hi everyone. I hope someone or many someones can offer guidance. I have many magazines that have various problems. (Not feeding and/or not pulling tape on some slots) Does anyone have any information for repairing or troubleshooting these? It seems l

You'll want to double check the electronics in the magazines, as well as the mechanicals. Over time, the connectors can come loose, and could affect performance. I'm thinking of the "dead" feeder that you mentioned, while the rest of the feeders wo

We used to run a TP9-2 but upgraded to the MY series about 5 years ago..... Encoder going bad is a likely possibility, especially on a machine that old. I can't say for sure that is your problem but we did have to replace an encoder on our TP9 (I

There are a couple of things that you can do. First thing to do is take a flashlight and shine it in the card edge connector of slot 2 and see if a passive component or any other part worked its way into that slot. This will cause multiple leads in

I don't know about the TM8FC magazines but the Agilis magazines allow you to slow down the tape advancement speed. If you can, slow down the tape advancement on the TM8FC.

Do you have a login for the support section on the Mydata website ? If not, get one. Click on MYtech, then click the article named: "Simple feeder care reduces reject rate! The component separator spring" We run alot of 0402's on the TM8FC mags wit

Travis, Thanks, but there is no adjustments (software or hardware) for tape advancement on the TM8FC magazines. Got a hold of the feeder documents from Mydata that Sr.Tech was talking about. I'll try there suggestions. Thanks

Thanks for the info Chris, I'll check into your suggestions. We seem to be having the problem with all/most of the TM8FC magazines. I'm looking for a common denominator. Has any one ever experienced static electricity on the cover tape causing the c
