Lotem 800 Illegal plate size

[mattdj]

Hi all

We have a Lotem 800 year 2003. We have an illegal plate size error.The carriage belt was very loose and we have tensioned but still the error occurs. We can go to the motors and type in 1030 and it goes to 1030 on screen but is about 10mm to big. It looks to me like we need to calibrate the belt or centre pins. Any of you guys out there know how we go about this? Any ideas or solutions would be much appreciated
thanks

The motor that drives the two centring pins have a virtual home position when they are their widest position i.e. they are not at zero but at some other value. To get the plate measurement to be correct the virtual home position value can be adjusted.
First move the centring pins in so that they touch the plate. The centring motor will display the position. If position is not correct then go to Centring Motor properties and adjust Virtual Hp App value - the bottom of the list of parameters - to give the correct value in the centring motor window for the size of plate.
If you cant find these settings I can write them for you in another post.
