Hi. at conveyance to the right butterflies, the shuttle reaches up to the end yet doesn't rest, further is audible as slips a belt.
at conveyance on the left all ok. help to solve this problem, thanks in advance.

When did it start doing it? Did you happen to replace the side sonar when it started?

THNX for help (sorry for my bad english).
problems began after replacement of two sensors a shuttle home and shuttle prox. after that some washes without failures were made, they began after that as changed m-pos, besides e-300 started giving out an error "1: comm error". I managed to switch off .
today I changed Shuttle travel setting to 12, 4 washes passed successfully. I hope that the problem was solved with shuttle jam, but the problem with e-300 remained (not in this thread). at first I too thought that a problem with the sonar, it I will try to change, return too value back on 15 and to look what happens. I will unsubscribe as everything I will make

It sounds like the prox isn't adjusted correctly. Is this a Vector? It has only one prox sensor for the shuttle. If the picket fence is heavily rusted, take it down, grind/sand it as smooth as possible, paint it and reinstall it. It might be picking up false pulse readings at the end that it should be reading as home and continuing past it.

I serve 3 vectors, on one of which I changed the sensor of a shuttle prox and everything is all right, and problems began with this, such feeling that it don't see the final position.I don't understand logic of work of a shuttle. how I understand when it reads out car dimensions the sonar it calculates shuttle conveyance on an impulse from the sensor, further during the program it doesn't use the sonar and works at a basis of data on conveyance on an impulse from the sensor? I am right?

That is right. That is why it sounds like the new sensor is not adjusted correctly. The weight of the arms lets the shuttle lean a bit and the gap between the sensor and the picket fence will change a bit. It can receive all pulses in the front and miss some in the back, which causes a discrepancy and lets the carriage move too far at one end. If the picket fence is heavily rusted it can cause the same thing. A flat tire on the shuttle can also cause it.

" That is why it sounds like the new sensor is not adjusted correctly"- unless it is regulated??? the distance between the sensor and picket fence is regulated only

I don't understand "regulated" in this context. I meant that the sensor should be adjusted a certain distance away from the picket fence.

Sorry 4 my bad english... I wanted to tell that except clearance adjustment between the sensor and picket fense (distance 2-3 mm), more is regulated nothing (distance 2-3 mm)

I still don't understand, but it sounds like you know how to adjust it.

It's possible something is loose or worn causing a change in the sensor gap and not reading all the pulses, otherwise it might be a bad wire to the sensor.

What was partially the problem?

it is solved by change of Shuttle travel settings (15 to 12).
why on one vector after sensor replacement (shuttle prox) no settings changed, and on this it was necessary to change them.
