How to adjust the Ball Sensor for error 81

Created by Adam Corbett, Modified on Mon, 1 Dec, 2025 at 11:04 AM by Adam Corbett

Error 81 is when the Magic Eye sensor cant see any of the balls on the belt delivery system.



Does your machine give a fault code 81 when trying to dispense balls? 

Is the hopper full?

Are are balls able to reach the delivery belt? 

If so, it's likely that your ball sensor could be out of adjustment, or even dirty. Follow these steps to check operation
