Yellow Cord on Diamondback

[tancehughes]

I have a couple of my yellow safety cords acting up on the Diamondback. They will be connected but yet the press shows "Yellow Cord" alert on the screen. This happens sporadically, including in the middle of runs. Does anyone else have this issue? Any fixes that you may know of?

Almost 8 years with our press never had that, hope we don't either, that must suck!! Is there anything that could be muffing up the connection? Maybe where they are connected at the machine interface?

There is a screw in the middle of the magnet. Make sure they are all snug. If you still have an issue contact me directly and I will help you out.

yep..its the screw in the middle.

Just backing Rich up on this…LOL

[tancehughes]

Yes I tightened them up and so far so good. Thanks!

easy to change, and easy to bypass if you don't have any.  probably not recommended though.

Just a few bucks to keep an extra one on hand.

local friend calls me up..

"bro.. sigh..  my yellow cord connector broke.. what do I do.. this job has to go! "

This is the old style phono plug, not the new magnetic ones.

I can hear his son strumming the bass in the background.. "go grab his amp cord"

"Crackle of distortion as he yanks the cord outa the amp"

ahhh dad..

"thanks bro, works fine, talk to ya later!..  click!

gotta say i did something similar. the yellow railings that are put in front of the loading/unloading stations... ours are gone. i banged my knee on those things when loading so many times the first few weeks, in the middle of a run i went and got the screw gun and they were down.

Wouldn't want zero safety's on a C3, that tank will for sure chop you in half huh, wooooo. I got donked in the head with our air driven DB one time and that sucked. I couldn't imagine a ball screw or direct drive indexer smakin ya

My CIIID has two safety systems. Yellow cords and a laser curtain. Won't gripe about either.

[jvanick]

I like the idea of the laser curtain... is that just in the load/unload area?

on the javelin, it was a single 'safety cord' that went all the way around the machine... imho... more pita than it was worth.

I'd be likely to use the yellow cords, but those really don't seem like they'd truly stop you from doing something stupid.

Does it come with a Cone of Silence too?
