Universal GX-11S and Pneumatic Feeders? | 25 April, 2023

We have a line running GSM1 machines and we are considering upgrading to GX-11S machines with FJ3 heads. Does anyone know if the GX-11S machines can take pneumatic feeders from the GSM machines? We have a very large inventory of the pneumatic and electric feeders that we would like to continue to use. I realize they are not as fast and would slow the machines down, but being forced into new feeders will probably prevent us from making the jump at this point since the GSM's are still keeping up with production and the newer feeders are very expensive.

I think they can all support pneumatic but it might depends on the age, I'm not sure about series 2 Genesis. Something to watch is that they can't all support 24 V Electric feeders. Mine does but it's an option. 48v is the standard for gold feeders.

Thanks, what about the camera calibration? Does it use the same kit as the GSM machines?

Genesis should work with pneumatic feeders, but not if Lightning heads are used. It's basically 24V transformer and some wires and fuses - you can do this "upgrade" by yourself, actually. Regarding cal. kit - it's the same as for GSM's but, again, not if you are using Lightning heads.

Thanks, Deni! We're replacing two 4-spindle GSM's with two GX-11S with Flex3 front and IL4 in the rear. These we plan to use a mix of our pneumatic & 24V feeders as well as high speed feeders as we acquire them. The sellers advised that the 24V kits are installed on these machines. We are also taking a lighting head machine for a second line we are building for placing LED chips; I've seen them fly and certainly understandable why you need high speed feeders.

Bevor ich mit dem Spielen anfangen, komme ich wieder zu einem Beitrag, in dem die neuesten Nachrichten über die Casinowelt vorgestellt sind. Das hilft mir, richtige Entscheidung zu treffen.
