Other side of the Multistrada after another couple of hours, gear selection fault due to broken return spring on shift shaft.
They look nice but a ballache to work on..

Bagging machine has been erratic lately and will occasionally stop instantly at random parts of its cycle. This could be a broken wire in an array of 4 sensors that monitors the positions of the jaws and monitors blockages...you can't easily tell if theres a broken wire or in which sensor so you replace the lot...'£390.00.
Jaws clamp the film, seal it, pull down a specific mount, open, return to the home position, seal, thus forming a sealed bag....60 times a minute.
Sensors disconnected...not a good pic, , it's gloomy in there.
Connections HAVE to be correct so I tape each new sensor cable to its original to prevent mix ups.
Old sensor set...
An odd photo mid job. I virtually had to climb in there at times to get access but it's full of mechanics.
2 hours...almost exactly what I said it would be.

I love my job. It can be stressful, it can be mindblowingly busy or boring...and once I'd correctly set the sensor positions...very important or you risk instantly ruining one, or get the activation points wrong and it just won't work....and get the terminations wrong and risk blowing one or more of them ,....once you've checked and double checked everything....you breathe a sigh of relief...and smile.

Last week's job was replace the sensor set and while doing so, look at the vertical white toothed bels, at the bottom rear....its slack while the front one is correctly tensioned. It bugged me so today we planned some work so I could hit it....assuming it was stretched. Also the front one has some steel braid bursting through, time to replace.
New belts (30mm wide, around 1.5 mtr long) and new style tensioner/clamp mechanism fitted...but the rear one was still slack
. It was a tooth out on the bottom toothed pulley and no amount of pulling would get it round that extra tooth, so undo the bottom base plate for the pulley shaft assembly, that allowed the assembly to lift a mm or two and gave me the extra tooth I needed, tighten it all up, tension belts, tidy up and monthly service the machine.
3 hours...spent a good proportion of that on my back, squeezed into the machine, no room for manoeuvre, lots of clamp and adjusting bolts with poor access. Nice, proper mechanical job though.

I can’t show pictures of my work anymore . An NDA of sorts , officially secret ... but I have been pulling a set of stage 4 “detailed design” drawings apart as they are nothing of the sort...
