TSM-35 Screw Pocket Machine Troubleshooting
35.22 Clamp comes down, pocket routes, no pilot hole, clamp stays
down:
• Run a dry cycle – put a piece of material next to, but not covering the router slot. Run a cycle.
o If the clamp comes down and the router bit goes up and stays in
place until the machine is turned off, then it retracts
 Check the router stop switch for position on the cylinder
- move slightly toward the operator
 Change the router stop switch. (E35010/ E35009
– Strap)
o If the clamp comes down, the router bit comes up, and the router
stays up after the machine is turned off
 Disconnect main air
 If router retracts, change router solenoid (P49410
)
 If router does not retract even after air has been
disconnected, remove and clean the muffler/breather on
the router solenoid (P00018
)
 Check for a crimped air line
o If the clamp comes down, the router moves slowly, and then the drill runs at speed:
 Check the router solenoid (P49410) and router cylinder (P35300
)
!***ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER WHEN CHECKING SOLENOIDS ***!
• Override the router solenoid (middle of the stack) with the red button
o Make sure the router feed rate valve has not been turned down
o Listen for air leaks at the solenoid. If there is a continual air leak as
the solenoid override is held down press a finger over the exhaust
port.
 If the carriage begins to move forward, change the solenoid
(P49410
)
 If the carriage does not move the router cylinder needs to
be replaced (P35300 / or C35021
– complete cylinder
assembly)
o If there is no leak and the router moves forward slowly remove the
muffler / breather (P00018
) and override again. If it still moves
slowly, replace the solenoid (P49410).
