Note: This tip applies to manual loading machines, software version 1.50.08 and up.

Component

Head grippers

Symptoms

Cause

During actuation and the opening of the head grippers, the drum moves, due to the mechanical configuration of the head grippers.

Solution

The grippers were redesigned with slots instead of V grooves to enable the drum to complete its movement before actuation. In addition, the software is being updated to support the new grippers and a new loading cycle.

All new machines have the new grippers. Since the new software version is not yet released, Patch 4 was issued to support the new grippers and new loading cycle.

Patch 4 contains four additional registry parameters:

• Drum to Plate after extra for 0.15 ( 0 )
• Drum to Plate after extra for 0.2 ( 2 )
• Drum to Plate after extra for 0.3 ( 3 )
• Drum to Plate after extra for Small ( 0 )

Note: All values are default.

If your machine has the new grippers, shown below, install Patch 4 (download) for version 1.50.08.

A new parameter in the registry enables you to check if the new head grippers are installed:
Is Head Gripper V-groove = 0 (indicates that the new head grippers are installed).
