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?

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

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

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

I was asking if it was a TP9 2U...... If you have a UFP machine then you are in luck. It is most likely the small X-motor. You can test it in the service program. Does the X-axis bounce when you are trimming magazines and stepping through placement

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

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
