Well...here is what I can tell you: I have over $40K worth of bent A12,A13,A14 tools.Yes you heard me right $40K worth. (Since 1995) Mydata used to make a repair kit to fix them but decided to quit. They tell me the reason they quit making the kit i

WOW Sr.Tech, 40K worth of bent tools? I'm about ready to be sh*t canned because of 1K's worth. As for trimming the mags, the product is running fine (many boards) and then out of nowhere the tool bends, so I assume my PERFECT operators trimmed the ma

Thanks for responding Fred and Peter. We have had the same damage to the tip occur even though our TP9-UFP sits in an air conditioned room (74 F / 23 C). I spoke with Matt at MyData (who was very helpful). He said that the X-axis bearings, the X-a

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

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.
