Troubleshooting

Line speed is set too fast.
Lower line speed.

The mark is being made too slowly for the required line speed.
Open the mark file in WinMark Pro and do the following: (1) shorten mark time by changing fonts,
decreasing font size, or reducing line spacing; (2) simplify or eliminate graphic objects in the mark; or (3)
reduce graphic object size or resolution.
Symptom:

Tracking marks are skewed or distorted.
Possible Causes:

The Encoder Resolution value is set improperly.
Load and mark the appropriate linestackxxx.mkh file (located in the WinMark software folder). Refer to
Tracking hardware - position encoder in the Tracking chapter for instructions on how to fine-tune encoder
resolution settings.

The Product Line Speed value is set improperly.
If Encoderless Tracking is specified, check that Product Line Speed (on the “Device” tab under Tools /
General Settings…) is equal to conveyor or part velocity. Adjust Product Line Speed as required to fine-
tune tracking to actual part motion.

Line speed is set too fast.
Lower line speed.

The actual part motion vector is different from the value entered as the Motion Vector.
Check that actual part motion under the marking head equals the entered Motion Vector (on the “Device”
tab under Tools / General Settings…). WinMark Pro v6 and FH Flyer support Motion Vector values in
0.01° increments.
Automation I/O
Symptom:

FH Flyer is not responding to automation inputs or the automation controller is not “seeing” Flyer
outputs.
Possible Causes:

I/O voltage levels are incorrect.
