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

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

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

Hello All, I know this is "SMT"Net, but I have a question regarding thru-hole lead-forming. I know we, as SMT personnel, also have duties in thru-hole from time to time. I am looking for a TO metal can leadforming tool with either fixed or adjustabl

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

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

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

You dont mention if it is ONLY occuring with the A12 or is it other tools as well? Only spring tools or Stiff ones? Regardless of that, the small X Wagon motor is controlled by the track ball and the bigger X Axis motor is controlled by the joystic

We keep seeing a problem with the plastic tool tip on an A12 tool being sliced off. I think it is hitting the edge of the tape separator clip assembly - I determined this by coating the tip in paint and then finding where the tip had struck the meta

Sr. Tech, youre absolutely correct that the X-Wagon (pancake) motor is the one which will do final positioning when moving to a programmed position. The X Axis motor in back of the machine is used for rapid traverse of the axis. I was thinking more
