You can leave the booster in the original position and mount two small fans directly underneanth it blowing upward. By leaving it in the original upright position you get quite a bit of air velocity in the small space between the booster and the mach

Yes that sounds worth a look - thanks. I am also wondering if there is a thermal issue - we had 27 degrees in here yesterday and I remember the Mydata guy telling me to put a desk fan onto the card frame in the summer. I did this last year - when I

Very interesting - esp that you have removed the temperature variable by being airconditioned. We defeinitely do not get strikes at 74 but do at 80 - but also we dont start the machine when its 80, that is the afternoon tempertaure on a rare hot day

Hi John Yes I am still having the same problems years later! It keeps Fred in work supplying me with replacement tips too! Mydata came up with a supposed fix to alter a parameter called prepick which puts a pause in I think allowing the head to st

Your tool tips are being damaged because the small x-motor is not engaging when the head is picking parts. When this happens the head overshoots and you bang the tips on the mag springs. Directly after a tip gets damaged go into the service program a

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

Thank you for the reply - and yes its a TP9-UFP! Problem doesnt happen all the time and may not happen for extended periods on the job where we see it most - this particular job uses all feeder slots so the head is whizzing back and forth quite a l

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

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

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
