Check if this applies http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/99563.pdf Or find an electronics engineer locally to replace it with a new programmable counter like an Autonics CT series or similar. I successfully replaced an IVO counter last year on a Heidelberg offset machine with a new autonics (less...

one of three options - sensor not detecting properly the transport path movement , dirty or displaced PH57A - transport path skewed, possibly a gas spring damaged, you can see if the big transport unit moves properly parallel to the machine - M55 motor not moving correctly but these steppers...

Khalid I suggest you look for reliable plate suppliers first, it very much depends on what type of plates you can get.

There are a lot of things that can go bad inside. Follow instructions in your book to clean and recalibrate. Do not open the top cover / sensor & electronics housing, nothing to see inside really. Check the mesh membrane for damage and replace if needed, not expensive. Check valve actuator at...

Not a big deal. Incorrectly seated film cassette, loose (or seized) friction wheel, or failure of loading motor driver. When you see CODE on display you have 5 seconds to specify the forced-load mode by pressing the key then you should get ON_LINE.

Assuming you have the rip only no workflow go to file menu uncheck start inputs, then above at configure rip > extras, see where pagebuffer and workspace folders reside, default on Drive C unless you specified otherwise. Quit Navigator, go to that location and delete all contents from these...

Is it a cassette or manual loading machine ? If the variation is across the plate travel direction through the ctp you should pay attention to the so-called primary positioning unit - the three solenoid activated push fingers aligning the plate. Clean the exposure table carefully using...

It's a several hours job for a qualified engineer I'm afraid and comes down to setting plate geometry, sensors, exposure parameters etc. Any advice implying otherwise coming from "friendly" people must be taken with a spoonful of salt.

If plates are factory cut the problem is mechanical. There is a perpendicularity adjustment inside the machine available to certified engineers. Make sure you don't push the plate hard against the lower pin on pinbar and remember the pinbar is spring loaded into support. Best way to load plates...

pam_add, what machine and error message on display ?

Agfa spec is V50 encapsulite filter wrap or Osram L36 W62 tubes. I've successfully used whatever brand of yellow fluorescent tubes I found in local hardware stores for Agfa Aspire, AzuraVi and Kodak Libra. Most such tubes work, it's just you have to place the lights at least 3 meters away from...

This is a fatal error, do you have a plate stuck inside the machine ? Air pressure ok, do you hear solenoids engaging during init sequence ?

Check top cover is detected, reed relays actuated by magnets on cover if I remember correctly. Inspect cable going to the control panel but never remove those connectors when machine is powered on, that cable carries some supply voltages and disconnecting the live cable usually damages the main...

Correct. Anyone having this particular problem should call a trained engineer to carry out the full plate setup procedure. Whatever I told kdw75 is my business. I am definitely not going to go public with training docs and stuff. Other than that I'm happy to help, posted a few messages here over...

I chose not to for a reason.

I've sent you a message, check your inbox.

I guess there's no way to translate the infrared power output (mW) into radiant exposure i.e. energy received by plate coating in Joules / sqcm unless you have access to a lookup table from the ctp manufacturer. Try to find out the coating sensitivity mJ/sqcm for a plate already calibrated on...

no they never give pcb schematics just block diagrams :D but again, if it only was this easy (my background is also in electronics), considering boards are loaded with fpgas and it's firmware involved etc. Anyway wish you all the best, if you ever need a quick advice drop me a p.m. Cheers.

Anyway glad you fixed it. You're welcome.

Very much so, provided you're ready to test theories on your own piece of equipment good luck with that. Worse still if it's not yours. Btw I'm a qualified engineer and the service literature is composed of a dozen base manuals, several dozen training docs and a couple hundred tech bulletins...
