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

If you still have trouble with this problem try calling MyData and ask their opinion. I know this sounds simple and maybe you have tried already, but I have found in the past that there are certain techs who really know their stuff. Glen Gayton in B

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.

Sorry I misunderstood, its a UFP. And yes it does wobble as you step from slot to slot and when you step through a pcb, not a huge wobble, more of a shimmy really.

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?

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
