Magazine Upgrade Guide
This magazine upgrade guide contains instructions on how to
upgrade a TM8C tape magazine and adjust the magazine after
the upgrade.
Before upgrading any TM8C tape magazine, read carefully the
Important Information section found overleaf.
The magazine upgrade involves mainly to replace the following
parts:
•Feeder arms
•Feeder wheel spacers
•TMC board spacer screws
•Feeder motor driving shaft

Important Information
The following information is a revised version of MYDATA
Service Bulletin 98015.
Feeder Wheels
The purpose of the TM8C upgrade is to reduce the feeder wheel
spacing, i.e. the thickness of the feeder wheels plus the feeder
wheel spacers.
This is achieved by changing to slightly thinner feeder wheel
spacers.
Thinner wheels There are, however, feeder wheels that are slightly thinner than
normal, and these wheels must not be further compensated by
being upgraded.
Upgrading such a magazine makes the pick position distance
between adjacent feeders to be less than 10mm, causing a high
reject rate if a HYDRA system is used. And, it can make the
entire feeder wheel pack to be too short, causing an inadequate
friction.
Which wheels are thinner? A batch of feeder wheels manufactured in the summer of 1997
are slightly thinner than normal.
These wheels are transparent and they are found in TM8C
magazines with the serial number most likely within the serial
number interval 14704 - 14724, but they might be found within
the larger serial number interval 14022 - 15298.
How to test the wheels? Before upgrading any TM8C magazines with the above serial
numbers, check the feeder wheel thickness as follows:
•Put the magazine with the old transparent spacers in the
machine.
•Using the positioning camera, measure the distance between
magazine feeder 1 and feeder 16. A piece of white tape on these
two feeders can be used to find a reference.
Normal wheels If the measured distance is more than 150.2mm, then the feeder
wheels are normal and the upgrade can be performed as described
on the following pages.
Thinner wheels If the measured distance is less than 150.2mm, then the feeder
wheels are thinner than normal and you can choose one of the
following two actions:
•Keep the present wheels and transparent spacers, provided the
distance is correct, see below. In this case, put an extra label
beside the Revision 1 label referring to Service Bulletin 98015.
The revision label is mentioned on page 16.
•Renew all the feeder wheels and all the feeder wheel spacers.
Correct distance The correct distance between feeder 1 and feeder 16 is from
149.7mm to 150.3mm, measured as described above.

(’A’ in Figure 5).
10. Carefully, remove the TMC board by pulling it up
alternately at the board ends (B).
Do not lift the PCB up by pulling one board end only, because
then you will bend the connector terminals.
11. Remove the spacer screws and the washers (C).
12. From the Magazine Upgrade Kit, replace these items, i.e. two
spacer screws (D-014-1040-4) and two securing washers
(M-IZ-3.2-A4).
13. Carefully, put the TMC board back and press it down on the
connector terminals. Put the screws back and tighten them.

Replacing Feeder Arms
14. Lift the 16 feeder arms and the 15 washers straight up from
the shaft (see the arrow in Figure 6).
15. From the Magazine Upgrade Kit, reassemble the drive side
feeder arm (L-014-0107C, ’A’ in Figure 7). Make sure that
the feeder arm tip points towards the feeder wheel.
16. Put a washer on the drive side feeder arm (B).
17. From the Magazine Upgrade Kit, reassemble the 15 feeder
arms (L-014-0106C) and put a washer between all feeders
(C). No washer on the last feeder arm.

Figure 9. Feeder wheel pack
0<'$7$DXWRPDWLRQ$% Magazine Upgrade Guide
Magazine Upgrade Guide P-014-0866-EN Rev. 2A 1999-06 7

23. Except for the last big washer (E) and the last friction disc
(F), withdraw all the feeder wheels (H) with spacers (G) and
friction discs (F).
24. From the Magazine Upgrade Kit, replace the spacer
(D-014-0853B-3) on a feeder wheel by removing the old
spacer and properly pressing a new spacer on the feeder
wheel. Put the feeder wheel on the shaft with the spacer
facing towards the friction disc (see Figure 9), and put the
next friction disc on the shaft.
Keep the friction discs clean from oil.
Repeat this procedure until all the 17 friction discs and
16 feeder wheels with spacers are assembled on the shaft.
Make sure that the friction discs are turned as shown in
Figure 9.
25. Reassemble the big washer (J) and insert the axle (K) into
the shaft. Make sure that the pins on the axle (L) enter the
shaft end notches.
26. In the other end of the feeder wheel pack shaft, insert the
washer (C), spring (B) and nut (A). Tighten the nut
approximately to half of possible tightening length.
27. Put the entire feeder wheel pack back into the magazine.
Make sure that the adjacent shaft enters the friction disc
recesses (you can see the adjacent shaft to the left of the
pliers in the figure).
28. By using a pair of tip pliers, turn the feeder wheel axle until
two of the three threaded holes are parallel to the magazine
length axis (the threaded holes correspond to the holes in the
end plate).
Cleaning From Oil
29. Clean thoroughly the friction discs and the feeder arms from
oil.
If there is oil on the friction discs or on the feeder arms (see
the arrow in the figure), then the feeder arms are caught by
the capillary force of the oil. This will slow down the arm
motion and it may prevent the arm from reaching the feeder
wheel in time.
The new aluminium feeder arms are more sensitive to the oil
capillary force than the old ones. So, keep the friction discs
and feeder arms clean from oil.

Magazine Upgrade Guide P-014-0866-EN Rev. 2A 1999-06 8

Reassembling
30. Put all the feeder arms between the friction discs (’C’ in
Figure 10).
31. Put the solenoid bar back to its place in the magazine (B).
32. Insert both the screws for the solenoid bar from below.
Make sure that the adjusting screw (protruding head) is
inserted in the recessed hole and the fixing screw
(countersunk head) in the countersunk hole. Do not tighten
the screws.
33. Connect the cable to the solenoid bar (D).
Position the cable parts to the solenoid bar on each side of the
cylindrical end plate support (A).
34. Reassemble the end plate with the motor and rubber covered
driving shaft as follows:
-Lower the end plate straight down towards the magazine.
Two shafts are to be entered through the end plate.
-Insert all the screws. Make sure you insert the right screws
with respect to the length and head shapes.
Screws shorter or longer than the regular length are marked
’S’ and ’L’ respectively in Figure 11.
-If the three threaded holes for the feeder wheel pack are not
centered in the end plate holes, adjust the axle by inserting
the tip pliers and turn the axle in the same way as before.
You may need to lift the feeder wheel pack when inserting
the three screws.
-Except for the two screws at the solenoid bar, tighten all the
screws on this side of the magazine.

Adjusting Feeder Arm Gap
37. Turn the magazine to the regular position.
38. Slightly tighten both the countersunk screws at the solenoid
bar (one at each side of the magazine).
39. Adjust the gap between the feeder wheels and the feeder arm
tips (’A’ in Figure 12) by turning the solenoid bar. The gap
should be 0.5mm - 1.0mm.
Set the gap as follows:
-Lift the outermost feeder arm (B) by hand as much as the tip
touches the feeder wheel.
-Turn the feeder wheel (C) while the feeder arm is lifted.
-Stop turning the feeder wheel when the top point of a tooth
passes (D).
-Compare the lifted feeder arm position to the released
position and estimate the gap.
-Turn the solenoid bar (E) until the gap is 0.5mm - 1.0mm.
-Slightly tighten the adjusting screw (protruding head) at the
solenoid bar.
-Repeat the procedure for the outermost feeder arm on the
opposite side.
40. Turn all the feeder wheels. The feeder arm tips must not
touch the wheels. Readjust if necessary.
41. Tighten the four solenoid bar screws.
42. Check the gap again. Readjust if necessary.

Replacing Motor Shaft
43. Disconnect the big connector on the MS board (’A’ in
Figure 13).
44. Remove the motor base bracket by undoing the two fixing
screws (B).
45. Detach the motor unit by undoing the three screws (C) at the
two bearing brackets.
46. Loosen the pulley stop screw (D) using an 1.5mm Allen key
and withdraw the pulley and the bearing bracket (E).
47. Separate the shaft (H) from the motor by loosening the shaft
stop screw (I) using an 1.5mm Allen key.
Take a look at the code discs (F and G) on the shaft before
dismantling. Note how the discs are turned.
48. Remove the code discs from the shaft after loosening the stop
screws (0.9mm Allen key).
49. From the Magazine Upgrade Kit, put a new driving shaft
(D-014-0614B-3) on the motor shaft. Make sure the stop
screw (I) is pointed towards the notch in the motor shaft.
Tighten the stop screw.
50. Put the code discs and the bearing bracket on the shaft.
Make sure that you put the code discs in correct order on the
shaft, and correctly turned, see Figure 13.
Figure 13. Feeder motor unit
0<'$7$DXWRPDWLRQ$% Magazine Upgrade Guide
Magazine Upgrade Guide P-014-0866-EN Rev. 2A 1999-06 12

51. Put the motor with shaft back to the base bracket. Position
the code discs in the optical sensor gaps (see the figure).
52. Insert and tighten the three bearing bracket screws (C).
53. Position the code discs in the middle of the optical sensor
gaps and tighten the stop screws (the single hole code disc
lightly because it is to be adjusted later on).
54. Put the pulley back. If the stop screw (D) is not located in
the middle of the pulley, it should face the bearing bracket
(see Figure 13). Make sure the stop screw is pointed towards
the notch in the shaft. Tighten the stop screw.
55. Put the motor unit back into the magazine by putting the
belt back on the pulley, inserting the two screws (protruding
head uppermost), and slightly tighten the lower screw.
56. Stretch the belt by turning the motor unit and tighten both
the screws.
The belt tension is also affected by the magazine pick-up
position adjustment (Y position). If the eccentric discs that are
used for this adjustment are turned more than 10° the belt
tension should be readjusted.
57. Reconnect the cover tape take up reel motor cable to the
lower connector (K) on the MS board, and the board
interconnecting cable to the big connector (A).
Setting Code Disc Synchronization
The code disc synchronization can be set either by using a pulse
counter device or without using this device. The following
description comprises both the methods.
0<'$7$DXWRPDWLRQ$% Magazine Upgrade Guide
Magazine Upgrade Guide P-014-0866-EN Rev. 2A 1999-06 13

Using Pulse Counter
58. Connect the MYDATA pulse counter to the MS board (’A’ in
Figure 13).
59. Loosen the stop screw on the single hole code disc.
60. Turn the multi-hole code disc by hand (’A’ in Figure 14)
until the eccentric shaft with the feeder arms are at its
lowest position (B).
The easiest way to determine the lowest position is to watch
the arms through the empty hole below the eccentric shaft
bearing in the end plate.
61. Reset the pulse counter by pressing the RESET button (see
the figure).
62. Turn the multi-hole code disc by hand as shown in Figure 14
(A) until the pulse counter displays 19 pulses.
63. Without turning the multi-hole code disc, turn the single hole
disc in the same direction until the LED on the pulse counter
lights up.
64. Without turning the code discs, position the single hole code
disc in the middle of the optical sensor gap (see the figure)
and tighten the stop screw.
65. Check the setting by turning the shaft to the lowest position,
resetting the pulse counter, and turning the code disc until
the LED lights up. The pulse counter shall display
18 - 20 pulses. If not, repeat the setting.
66. Disconnect the pulse counter from the MS board and
reconnect the regular board interconnecting cable.

Without Using Pulse Counter
67. Loosen the stop screw on the single hole code disc.
68. Turn the multi-hole code disc by hand (’A’ in Figure 15)
until the eccentric shaft with the feeder arms are as far from
the magazine front as possible (B), i.e. when the ’d’ distance
is maximum.
69. Measure the ’d’ distance and note it down as ’d1.’
70. Continue turning the multi-hole code disc by hand until the
eccentric shaft with the feeder arms are as close to the
magazine front as possible (C), i.e. when the ’d’ distance is
minimum.
71. Measure the ’d’ distance and note it down as ’d2.’
72. Calculate ’d3’ as follows:
d3 =d1 +d2
2+1.5
73. Again, turn the multi-hole code disc until the ’d’ distance
equals the calculated ’d3’ distance.
74. Without turning the multi-hole code disc, turn the single hole
code disc until the hole is in the optical sensor read off
position (D).
75. Without turning the code discs, position the single hole code
disc in the middle of the optical sensor gap (see the figure)
and tighten the stop screw.
76. Check the setting by turning the single hole disc until the
hole is in the optical sensor read off position and measure
the ’d’ distance. It shall correspond to the calculated ’d3’
distance. If not, readjust the setting.
