0 Replies -Ross a month ago	a month agoSakura Tissue Tek VIP 6 AI manual mode I have seen this in two of the new AI versions of the Sakura Tissue Tek VIP 6 AI: In manual mode, when the rotary valve is at a wax station or at the Xylene Cleaning station (station 16), it doesn't seem to want to allow a pump-in. I waited while it heated the retort and the rotary valve and gate valve - it appeared to heat both valves to 70C to 71C, and the retort to the proper temperature (~63C), but wouldn't let me initiate a pump in, no matter how long I waited. In programmed mode, or in a Clean Cycle, there was no problem. Has anyone else seen this? Also, does anyone have a PM form newer than version 1 from 2012 (especially one for the AI version) and/or a service manual (new enough to cover the AI version) that they can submit? Reply
-Ross a year ago	a year agoSakura Tissue Tek VIP 6 - ultrasound level sensor Sakura Tissue Tek VIP 6 - ultrasound level sensor fail (EC 322 & 922). I've got a machine with an intermittently failing lower level sensor. I removed the sensor to clean it more thoroughly - it looks like bright clean stainless steel. The recommendation on the Sakura PM checklist is to use acetic acid or Metaflux, but I didn't have either on hand. Sakura doesn't specify which Metaflux product, but I've never run into this issue before. Has anyone else had a level sensor issue which was corrected by intensive cleaning? Does anyone have a source for these level sensors, other than Sakura? Reply
