It wasn't a CP6. I don't know if the CP6 needs lube or not. It just sounded very similar to a problem I had many years ago.

I've seen this before. I had a CP6 doing this for a while, replaced the nozzle springs with ones wound the opposite way from the fuji ones. replaced the springs with these and never had the problem again. you can get them from Ritchie precision eng

Since I have posted on this last, we have found that 99% of our nozzle sticking problems are do to part height problems. I have been told that CP6 machines are very sensitive to part height do to the amount of spring travel in the nozzle. If you hav

Quick question fellas, Why would you ever have to check your shaft height ? We have been running or CP6 machines for a while, and I have never seen a need to check this ???? Should I be ? I'm confused..

I have also seen this before on a CP6. We had an issue once on a CP where the shaft was coming down too far at stn 1 for pick up and forcing the nozzles up and sticking in the windmill. Check that the correct spring type is being used. Also, maybe

Check to see if its the same component everytime if so check part height . Also check Z0.This setup is in the manual. You say this only happens after maintenance is carried out so when you free the nozzle it doesnt happen again until maintenance is

I've just went thru cleaning all nozzles and I saw some of them stuck up. The reason for mine is that they're on the way out, between lock and the exit notch. I tried to reinstall them with the spring "forcing" the nozzle clockwise. Sound weird but I

Since this happens just after PM and you mentioned solvent in an earlier post, I suspect that the solvent is washing a light grease film from the turret shaft area into the bore that the nozzle fits in. I think that the nozzle shank and bore must be
