We’re building out a FAQ for WASP owners. Here are a few common questions to start

How do I know which software version to install?

Check your machine’s purchase date or serial number. Machines shipped before 02-24-2025 typically use Version A; machines on or after that date use Version B. If you’re unsure, send us your serial number and we’ll confirm.

Yes. You can install the software on multiple shop computers as long as each is used to control a licensed WASP Superstinger unit in your operation

Currently we support all Windows versions. If you’re using something else, contact us and we’ll talk through your options.

At minimum, inspect tape paths and moving components before each production run. Follow the maintenance checklist in the manual for lubrication and wear parts

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

If something doesn’t look or feel right, stop the machine, secure your shells, and work through the steps below. When in doubt, contact us before continuing production.

Tape isn’t feeding evenly

  • Confirm tape roll is seated correctly and not rubbing on guards.

  • Check that the tape path matches the diagram in the manual.

  • Inspect rollers for buildup—clean as recommended in the manual.

  • If the problem persists, capture a short video and contact support.

Machine won’t start or stops mid-cycle

  • Verify the power switch, outlet, and any emergency stops.

  • Check that all covers or guards that include safety interlocks are fully closed.

  • Listen for unusual noises when you attempt to start.

  • Note the exact behavior and contact support with your serial number.

Pasting looks inconsistent around the shell

  • Confirm shell size and tape width match your setup.

  • Check tape tension and overlap settings.

  • Inspect tape quality (humidity or damage can affect performance).

  • Run a test with a single shell and record the results for support.
