Causes

Solutions

• Make sure that the clamps are not deformed.
• Check for particle buildup under the clamps.
• Make sure that the clamps are properly aligned to the park bars.
• Make sure that the clamps are not upside down. The clamp tab side should be against the park bars.
• Make sure that the tabs are centered on the corresponding drum straps.
• Make sure that the TEC backbone is working properly.
• Check the TEC park position.
• Check the TEC backbone reed switches
• Check the TEC reed switches.
• Check the operation of the clamps by entering this series of commands:
  For getclamp:
  drum move <ppos> h, act tec on, act tecul on, act tec off
  
  For putclamp:
  drum move <ppos> h, act tec on, act tecul on, act tec off
• If the mechanism is binding, put the clamps on the drum and see if the lock/unlock works without the clamps on the bar. Use the tec command to see the status of the sensors.
• Increase the system air pressure.
  CAUTION: Regulated pressure to tec retract actuators above 30 psi can damage the clamp bodies.
