JRW. All the equipment on this machine is German. The prints are in German also. And no, the AB drive issue is a different warper.
They had what seemed like a CPU fault, and everything went nuts, and ripped out a couple hundred threads. I have personally taken care of these machines for them for 5 years, and never had a major fault before. The touch screen, CPU, and all I/O cards, are encased in one unit. The touch screen now had lines acrossed it, looking like it was ready to blank out. Not being sure what all happened in the unit, I changed out the whole unit with a spare that had been sitting 5 years.
Luckily, it worked.
I am looking to find someone who might be familiar with this unit, and assist me in finding support to maybe repair it. I will take a picture of the unit, and post it this week. Hopefully it is possible to repair it, or I'm going to have to engineer a new control scheme in a hurry.
Thanks for your help.
