    Hi sir,
    Do you mean that when you press the production button the feeder won't run.
    Or the feeder never runs? Even if you press the "feeder on" button.

    No the feeder won't run when production button is pressed . If i press feeder on button the feeder never runs but when I actuate safe button on feeder operating panel and inch the machine the feeder responds.

    1) Test for continuty in the Button Feeder and loose wires, clean it very and see if there are voltage present??
    1a) test for fuse open in the secondary of Main transformer.
    2) If everything is o.k please test the power supply to the coil contactor controlling feed for to engage the Solenoid.
    3) See if there output coming from the some electronic board for to feed the coil of contactor controlling the Solenoid of Feeder: please tight very well wires, clean for dust, oil, etc very well.
    Let me know, any question. do it with the schematic diagrams

    Hello SIR I tested for continuity in the buttons and they are all fine and i messured voltage on FEM x7 in 11evm4 for feeder button and FEM x19 in 11evm4 for production button and the voltage was 24v dc and i even swapped eak boards but not successiful

    make sure that the delivery pile down limit switch is operational. Neither the feeder nor the green production button will do anything if the delivery pile is down, or if the limit switch is telling he press eroneously that the pile is down.

    Dear Sir,
    I suggest to check your double sheet detector(s).
    Check if you have any malfunction at your powder spray device.
    Let us know please.
    Good luck.

    Hi sir:
    My apologize for the delay in answer, but I was Outside of my country.
    1)Now if all the voltage that you measure is o.k please do this: look a) if 11y66(clutch feeder)+11y75 Brake Feeder is coming On, when activate the production and feeder Button?? If do not, look for the voltage at terminal, and tracking where is missing.
    If they are voltage, but does not activated.
    2)might happen the disc located between face of universal joint shaft in D.S, is fitted to tight,which might to lead to seizure. Carry out and check -up and exchange.

    Dear Sir:
    That the problem, that i was indicating you before.
    Now your job is tracking with the schematic diagrams where +24 Vdc is missing until Solenoid 11y66+11y77.
    Look for loose wires, dirty, oil, or Ground with the machine.Must isolated every circuit until the solenoid, disconnect every by one from this solenoid, and see what will happen. Maybe some of them is in Short circuit and drain the voltage.
