Hi, Can you be more specific in the explation ? Hairlines in fast scan direction? Does it look like the carriage is travelling at different speeds ? Meaning : some lines are exposed very close to each other, while other area´s have gaps between the lines ? Do you see the size of the full...

Hi, Can you check the backside of the plates ? Compare a good one with a bad one ? I have seen different kind of layers , with strange colors , affecting the y-size measurement. Sometimes rotating the plate 180 degrees helps. w.

Hi Leslie, Here is something we have noticed in summer last year. - the lines are in the non-image area, and can be removed with plate cleaner. - they are approx 200 mm from the edge of the plate, and run in the "production" direction of the alu coil. - rotating the plates 180 degrees before...

Hi , I am not aware of any "adapter" to convert the PIF cards from PCI-X to PCI-e. it sounds like you need to buy a new card. regards,

Hi, I am a little bit confused here. Not sure if we can help , but I like to share my comments anyway. The Azura plate is a negative plate. So the image area is the part that is really exposed by the laser. If there is no laser light, there will be no image. Never. So it will be difficult...

Hi, The motor spins for a short time and stops. This indicates the problem is not in the motor part of the spinner. It means there is something wrong with your encoder feedback. The DEc board does not "see" the correct signals and stops. I would think about cleaning the encoder of the...

Glv Glv Hi, I have some remarks here. About the LDStatus A : THe laser current is now 10 ( 50 A ) , which is rather high. This confirms the possibility that you have dirt inside, or outside , the RH. B : There is an imbalance between U & L. It would be nice to know if this difference changed...

Hi, I don´t believe your statement about the CTF support in Belgium. You , as an independent engineer or company , are working outside the regular channels. This means you are "competing" with Agfa and their official dealer. Your customer should ask support from Agfa or the dealer. ( and...

Hi, I think we are talking about 2 different items here. When operators talk about plate calibration , they usual refer to the linearization of the plate. With plate linearization , I mean adjustments done on a workflow level to make sure that the requested dot % is also seen on the plate...

Strange, All these people know about availability and pricing. Nobody mentioned that they (Screen) are currently using a new type of diode. And this diode is not compatible with the old one, or vice versa. So you better check out which one you need first. And FYI , the prices that I see here...

Hi there, So the real error is "serial error". Are you sure this is related to the communication between PC and Setter ? I think I have seen this being caused by a low voltage on the interface PCB that sits in the filmsetter. The Power supply going to this board should be a little bit above 5...

Hi, The 8800E engine is writing the image with 512 beams . The optics-carriage moves contineously from left to right. If you would activate 1 beam only, it would write a spiral line. To write "straight" lines , the pixels need to be shifted. This effect is called helical correction...

Hi , Do you have an update on this one ? From the pictures , I would think that the lower density is caused by incorrect data. So I don´t think it is caused by the laser or any of the settings. The spinner is possible, but I don´see a spinner error in any of the emails. Personnaly , I...

I agree with Armya. The test was intended to see if the spinner would spin up for a couple of seconds. It does not, so the problem is in the spinner - drive area. I have no experience with opening / repairing these motors. But in case you want to open it , good luck ;) W3112

Sir, The internal testpage of the engine looks normal to me. ( test av30.pdf ) I see a dark, black solid and a grey 50% . So I think this is normal. Please confirm. If this is true , you don´t need to think about the SGM or the Laser or anything on the carriage. Did you ever look with a...

Hi, This is what I replied to a similar question in Nov 2009 . Hello, Error 149 is indeed a spinner error. During boot , the engine starts the spinner and expects to see feedback pulses within a couple of seconds. If this does not happen , it post this error. What can be the cause ? First...

All, I don´t think this is the APIS driver. Apis card , DEC board , Apis cable : I agree Apis driver ? No, I don´t think see. W3112

Forgot to include the spinner positioning advise. Caution : This is top secret , straight out of the Agfa service manual. 1 : Orient the alignment key on the spin motor with the slot in the carriage casting. 2 : Slide the spin motor forward through the mounting bracket. 3.: Push the spin motor...

Hi, Referring to the original post , I think you can call this "bow". The line that is exposed in a single spinner rotation , is not straight. This is not to be confused with "skew". When you talk about skew, the fast scan line is usually straight, but is not making a 90 degree angle with the...

So you have a 16000 II. Nice. I have some experience with these machines. Do you have a specific question ? Greetings W
