Grumbler in Training
We switch often between the blue 10mm blue cartridge and the 7mm pink cartridge, depending on the hardness or size of the molding being joined. This has worked perfectly for years.
Yesterday the pink cartridge stopped working (wedge won’t insert), but the blue 10mm cartridge works fine. We’ve tried multiple pink cartridges but they just won’t work. We put the blue back in and it works just fine.
There is one variable we adjusted yesterday that we never adjust. We are joining a small and soft molding (MDF wrap), and the 10mm was “slamming” in and sounded too aggressive, so we dialed back the air pressure. It was set to 9 bar (high, but functional and never an issue in the past). We dialed down to 8 then 6 bar (manufacturer recommended setting) and that is when the pink wedges stopped inserting. But blue still works at 6 bar.
Now the pink 7mm won’t work at all, even if we dial the pressure back up to 9 bar.
Thoughts??
