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

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

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.

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.

Ok I can get into the service program - under Motors there is only a single X motor listed. And what test can you do - seems that I can only display ranges and settings? No test as such?
