Well, this is a very odd bug - it turned out one of capacitors, defined as a no-lead, had pin definition changed to gull-wing! Interestingly, if that part was located on Head1, it won't cause machine hang-up...

Ross, I am a process engineer now but in the past I was an automation Engineer also responsible for maintenance of Mixed tech production lines. The Universal GSM and GSM2 are very reliable machines and have excellent support from Universal. I r

Can you tell me how to distinguish between them? I recently bought a second GSM2. With it I've got two FlexJet heads (dismounted). The serial number of both heads starts with FJ7P, so I assume they are of FJ7 type? The issue is - it seems that the he

Today I stumbled upon very odd issue - we have one GSM2 with FlehJet heads on both axes. New program was created and it stops on the first task for Head2 throwing out a message like this: "Component 0u1/0805 (reference id C4) can't be found wit

Check the drive belt first for missing tooth or bad tension. If thats ok you might need to change the clutches, they need to be changed every second year or soo. If they are worn out the wire driving the spindle might slip causing this problem. This

I would if someone can share his "real-life" experience with FlexJet (7-spindle) heads. We are currently running machines with Flex heads (4-spindle), which are very easy to maintain, but I suppose 7-spindle has more throughput. All comments are welc

There is a retrofit kit to take care of the head cable problem that you mention. The s/n with 7P in it represents what is called the 7 Plus level of the head. There was one more level after that (09) for the GSM. The better heads mentioned in the

Machine has 2 FlexJets installed. Working fine until it started giving Theta1 following errors. Machine will not zero. Coincidental (I think) with this, the Low Power Power Supply behind the Power Distribution Panel failed and was rebuilt. It's worki
