Error 15-01 on Heidelberg Printmaster 46-2 (Also Quickmaster)

[vanceibz]

Hello, I am getting a very intermittent error for a couple of months. Now its seems more constant.

Error Code 15-01. It shows then disappears when running the machine. To clear the error I would turn off then on, also when activating the air function it also seems to clear it.

I have read here that people are mentioning TRK / MRK board.

Please help.

A 15-01 is a motor control issue and is very possibly MRK . It can be the motor itself giving problems , you can try to make sure the motor is clean and free of debris around and on top to avoid overheating . Make sure your drive belt is in good condition and has good tension because that can also cause errors

Thanks Sean, I will try this and update.

here are some videos, checked the motor and the belt looks fine.

Thinking maybe the motor is dying or the maybe the MRK board....
Its very intermittent, was running all morning and working fine, then errors start coming up.

Yes i agree the belts look good. Problem could be something internal in the motor because its intermittent, or the encoder cable could be going bad... try to disconnect the encoder cable and re-seat the connections, and it wouldn't hurt to re- seat all the plug connections on the MRK and ZTK. If the problem was a component on a board then you would likely get a hard failure and a permanent 15-01, but since it's intermittent it's narrowed down to a bad connection, motor issue, or encoder issue. Good luck!!

here is another video from today. (I cant embed the video as before as its too short)

There is a strange sound that looks like its coming from the motor. I am starting to think its the motor and not the board MRK...

Does anybody know what compatible motor I could buy?

Also I asked Heidelberg for a quote and its 20 times the machines worth.

Checking connections and fuses again .. I am seeing this resistor Frizlen with no continuity . Is this normal?

I am getting 069,6 ohm

I found a refurbished second hand motor to replace the one I have.
I would prefer to purchase a new motor of another brand than buying a second hand one.
Can I just replace it or will I have problems with the encoder settings and positioning etc ...and would need some heidelberg software to do this?

 

[vanceibz]

I'm receiving tomorrow several parts to change and see if I fix this problem.
We have checked the motor with a local shop and they have said its fine. Now we are going to change the cable from encoder to the board, a sensor (2 AV hanovell) and the actual encoder (GI357.220).

Do I need to set the machine at a certain position to change the encoder? I think I read somewhere position needs to be at zero..

Hi sir:

I had sick, with heart attack, from January 17 ,2024, and recently in recover, thank God feeling better. am Older Man with 71 years.!

Would you please explain me , what is the problem, Maybe i can help you with new Motor, or Repair( depending of the mark of main motor), however need the part number of M. Motor, for quotate.

Dear Vanceibz,
Did you sort out the problem.
Please check display of press angle by using SF60 and run or rotate machine by hand to see if the angle is showing correctly. Also see SF61

Hi sir:
this error coming for : MRK error messages:

Crank handle operation (> 75 r .p.h.);
r Hardware error, i.e. parts defective (error already
occurs when switching the system on the first
time);

Dynamic defect (e.g. temperature partly too high);
possible corrective measures: Switch off main
switch and switch it back on.

Blessing. and Good luck.

Hi All, if anybody has this problem. I fixed it by changing the cable from the encoder (GI357.220). Purchased new from Heidelberg 40€.
