Symptom checks

ElectroFOK Troubleshooting

Start with the visible symptom. Stop the machine if cable movement is blocked, slipping, unstable, or the installed setup is not confirmed.








Possible causes

  • Duct route blockage or high route resistance.
  • Too many bends.
  • Insufficient lubricant.
  • Cable drum not rotating freely.
  • Wrong cable/contact setup.
  • Air/pressure source issue if applicable according to machine setup.

What to check first

  • Confirm cable drum rotates freely.
  • Check duct route, bends and entry.
  • Confirm cable OD is within 1–8 mm.
  • Check duct OD / connection size.

  • Repeated deformation.
  • Cable OD or selected setup is uncertain.

Possible causes

  • Wrong duct connection tool / duct holder.
  • Duct OD mismatch.
  • Worn or damaged O-ring / seal.
  • Connection not fully tightened.
  • Duct cut not clean or duct not seated correctly.

What to check first

  • Confirm duct OD / connection size.
  • Inspect O-ring / seal condition.
  • Check duct seating and connection tightening.
  • Check duct cut quality.
  • Record photos/video of air leakage area.

When to contact support

  • Leakage continues after reseating.
  • O-ring / seal is worn.
  • Duct holder/tool selection is uncertain.

Possible causes

  • Wrong duct holder / duct connection tool.
  • Duct OD mismatch.
  • Worn clamp/holder.
  • Duct not seated correctly.

What to check first

  • Confirm duct OD / connection size.
  • Confirm duct connection tool.
  • Inspect clamp/holder surface.
  • Check duct seating.
  • Do not continue operation if duct moves.

When to contact support

  • Duct slips repeatedly.
  • Holder or clamp appears worn.
  • Duct OD does not match standard holder.

Possible causes

  • High route resistance.
  • Insufficient air supply or pressure loss if applicable.
  • Long hose pressure drop.
  • Duct route bends or moisture.
  • Cable drum resistance.
  • Wrong setup.
  • Air leakage at duct entry.

What to check first

  • Check cable drum rotation.
  • Inspect duct route and bends.
  • Check visible air leakage.
  • Confirm cable OD / duct OD / duct ID.
  • Use setup wizard for measurement review.

When to contact support

  • Compressor/air supply appears sufficient but performance remains low.
  • Route appears clear but distance is still poor.
  • Repeated low performance occurs with different ducts/cables.

Possible causes

  • Cable OD not measured correctly.
  • Wrong drive roller/contact set selected.
  • Cable OD outside range.
  • Operator used previous setup for a different cable size.

What to check first

  • Measure cable OD with caliper.
  • Compare setup with ElectroFOK setup wizard.
  • Inspect contact surface.
  • Check if cable jacket is slipping or deforming.

When to contact support

  • Cable OD is between common setup ranges.
  • Correct contact set is uncertain.
  • Repeated slipping or cable deformation occurs.

Possible causes

  • Duct OD not measured correctly.
  • Wrong duct connection tool selected.
  • Non-standard duct size.
  • Worn seal/O-ring.

What to check first

  • Measure duct OD / connection size.
  • Check duct ID if known.
  • Inspect duct holder and seal.
  • Check whether duct OD is standard for ElectroFOK.

When to contact support

  • Non-standard duct size.
  • Repeated air leakage.
  • Duct does not stay fixed.

Possible symptoms

  • Repeated air leakage.
  • Repeated cable slipping.
  • Low grip.
  • Irregular feeding.
  • Unstable movement.

What to check first

  • Inspect visible O-rings and seals.
  • Inspect drive roller/contact surfaces.
  • Check cable jacket condition.
  • Check if issue repeats with clean cable and confirmed setup.

When to contact support

  • Visible wear.
  • Repeated leakage or slipping.
  • Spare part code is uncertain.

Possible causes

  • Visible control or connection issue.
  • Incorrect preparation according to official manual.
  • Unstable control panel response.
  • Electric drive condition uncertain.

What to check first

  • Stop operation.
  • Check visible condition only.
  • Confirm visible connections are stable and not damaged.
  • Follow official manual for electric motor and control checks.
  • Record photos/video of the visible condition.

When to contact support

  • Motor or control response remains uncertain.
  • Visible damage is present.
  • The issue repeats after official manual checks.

Possible causes

  • Remote control preparation issue.
  • Visible remote or control panel condition issue.
  • Forward, reverse, or speed response uncertain.
  • Use outside official manual instructions.

What to check first

  • Confirm remote control use according to the official manual.
  • Check visible remote control and control panel condition.
  • Stop if forward, reverse, or speed response is uncertain.
  • Record issue status and visible control behavior.

When to contact support

  • Remote response remains uncertain.
  • The same issue repeats.
  • Photos or video can show the control behavior.

Possible causes

  • High route resistance.
  • Wrong drive roller or cable contact.
  • Setup mismatch.
  • Cable blocked or feeding unevenly.
  • Excessive torque/speed may damage cable.

What to check first

  • Stop if cable movement becomes unstable.
  • Confirm cable path, duct entry, and drive roller contact area are clean.
  • Record displayed torque/speed behavior if visible.
  • Do not force the cable while behavior is uncertain.

When to contact support

  • Torque or speed remains unstable after setup checks.
  • Cable movement becomes unstable.
  • Send a short video to support if possible.
