Turret Not indexing about every 50th pin!!!

[Matthew Covel]

Hey all Im just throwing this up here to see what else it could be...

I have a pain in the butt #12 here and every now and again when the pin falls off the CC it does not advance the turret... Have replaced turret latch, bearing, spring, adjusted every which way I can think of... nothing is binding, broke or missing that I can see... when it does work it is flawless after running for a couple hours non stop... most of the time it does not advance the turret for the next pin when it has been sitting overnight... Thanks Much I also forgot to mention that it is not the same turret pin slot each time its random... Im just getting tired of jumping up on the machine lifting the pin and re dropping the pin to get the turret to advance...

the weight of the pin should trip the lever.. you need to make sure the snubber is adjusted properly. Then check the long turret belt to make sure it is not too tight.

the snubber has been adjusted both ways seems to not make any difference ... The long belt is perfect and has no wear on it...

AT THE 8 OR 9 PIN [ WITH POWER OFF ] ajust snubber so 1/8" to 3/16" can be optanded
ajuat your pin trip lever so the wate of a pin can deprass lever [ i fine the one pin is the best placed to ajust lever ]

I will have to check that!!! Thanks Ill let ya all know if it worked

My questions are, is the weight of the pin pressing down on the index trip lever enough for the index latch to clear the stop lever bearing?

Or

is the latch clearing the stop lever bearing, but the turret appears stuck and will not move until rotated by hand?

long belt may be perfect, but do you have too much pressure on the turret spring. You want just enough on pressure to allow the turret to index.

which pin does it stop at?

[wepauls]

John he send all over the place not one set pin
I now think it may be a bad short belt

Well all thanks for the info... we found out that the trip lever had a bind in it due to the steel spacer not being in it... so the trip lever was not pivoting correctly... All seems well and running for the moment... Thanks much all
