Error Message:

ALE: plate didn't arrive in conveyor

Applies to:

• Platesetter_3244

Service Information:

Remote support: Setting al No_plate_conveyer will disable checking the sensor, but the conveyer motor will still be driven, this should be a very temporary work. If the conveyer works and feed out plates, then it can run like this for a day or two. This could cause plate jam ups as plate in conveyer sensor is not checked.

Place plate in conveyer over sensor and check if it is detecting using "conveyer" command. Check sensor wiring (eco) check that plate makes it all the way out to the fence/end stop. check for binding on the conveyer table. Consider air table upgrade (intended for film).

Operator Action:

Resume. Call Creo Response center if problem persists. Call Creo service if this happens often.

Cause:

• During the process command the conveyer belts are turned on after the plate is released from the unload table. From that time a timeout of eject_timeout is allowed for the plate to trip the plate sensor in the conveyer (if enabled) or else this error will be reported.
