1. Problem Description
The customer reported an “External Fluxer Servo Factor Too High” warning.
The customer had already reduced the servo factor setting, but the warning continued to occur.
2. Troubleshooting and Recommended Corrective Action
The warning indicates that the external fluxer servo factor may be too high for the current conveyor speed and fluxer segment width.
The following adjustments were recommended:
Reduce the servo factor further. Lower the servo factor setting as needed to bring it within the acceptable operating range.
Reduce conveyor speed. If lowering the servo factor does not resolve the warning, slow down the conveyor to reduce the required servo operating rate.
Verify the fluxer segment width. Determine the configured segment width of the external fluxer, as this affects the required servo factor.
Check the maximum servo factor setting. Identify the maximum allowable servo factor for the configuration and set the operating value slightly below that maximum.
Refer to the machine Help screen. Use the Help screen for additional explanation of the servo factor setting and its relationship to the fluxer configuration.
3. Important Considerations
The appropriate servo factor depends on the fluxer configuration, including segment width and reducing conveyor speed is an alternative adjustment when the servo factor cannot be reduced sufficiently.
The recommended operating value should remain slightly below the maximum servo factor.
Actual values should be determined from the machine configuration and the on-screen Help information.
