How does your flash attached to your Diamondback?
« on: May 04, 2013, 03:52:51 PM »
...would someone here be willing to show how your flash unit attaches to the print head on a Diamondback? I have a Seranno, and it doesnt attach but rather shuttles in and out independantly. I kinda get the impression that it clamps somehow to the SQ/FB holder bars, but I dont see how that can work since they all chop during printing.

...thanks!!!
Thanks TSB gang!!

I have an old omni flash that attaches to the flood bar or sq bar. Just make sure they are screwed up tight so no up down motion. tell machine that were the flsh is an d make it the head out and it works perfect in and out.

Thanks Shane, but Diamondbacks are different in that ALL the choppers chop if even one of them is . Its something with the programming or valving or something like that. As far as I know, its the only machine they make that does that, and I believe the ones made now don't do it either.

Anyone else?
Thanks TSB gang!!

Sorry i can be of no help to you in regards to your question but I'm just confirming that are correct that all the heads no longer always chop on the new diamondbacks, only the ones that are printing.

Run the choppers all the way down so they can not "chop" when running.

You buy a bracket from M&R and it hangs on the flood and squeege bars.  Bracket is pretty small and expensive.
I'll try and remember to take a picture of it.

By running the chopper stroke adjustment all the way down to "zero" they can not go up or down. They are mechanical stops for the travel, they are locked and can not move.

I think your right.  Dave from Bimm Ridder was there to help when I did mine and I think that is what he did.
