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

The original post was back in 2007. My most recent communication with Peter was last year and he was still having the problem 4 years later. Since it is temperature related, I am suspecting the card in question got partially cooked once and is now al

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

We concur - we reduced problems by lowering the booster panel to the horizontal and putting two pedestal fans behind the machine blowing onto it - but I think once the ambient air has heated up the cooling effect is reduced of course - we have a smal

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

As as per your information and photo, we attached two box fans under our booster and attached them to the white XGTS connector. The fans are blowing upward with airflow between the booster board and the back of the machine. We will carefully watch

You might want to check the Xwagon bearings. We had the same issue with the TP9-UFP we ordered all the possible parts Xmotors small large, encoder, transducer, couplings etc. over 10K worth of parts. The only thing we didnt order was the actual x-wag

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

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

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
