I washed the table tennis balls before use. I use only 3 star balls. I keep getting white shavings on the outside of the Newgy 2055 robot. Is my Newgy shaving off the balls surface? The robot is about 2-3 months old.

I've seen that before with a Newgy robot, so I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.
It may that your batch of balls is slightly bigger than average, even if they're still within the legal tolerance.

I don't know if there's much you can do though... things will probably improve over time as bits 'wear in'.

Update...I'm still having the same issue.

What balls are you using?

All 40+ balls...Nittaku Premium, Butterfly 3star, Stiga 3star, Tibhar 3star, Gewo 3star, and when Newgy guy told me to use the recommended Newgy balls, I purchased 2 dozen Newgy 2 star balls and used those with the same results.
There was a time when I separated each brand and tested each one at a time. Same results.

I don't think that's normal...something is a little too tight within the channel that the balls comes through. We used to sell these robots for many years, and I've only seen this once in a single robot.

The fix might be simple... you might just have to file something down a little, but I would contact Newgy or the shop you bought it from for advise or suggestions. Only follow their advice or suggestions, or else it might void the warranty.

I get the same "shavings" directly under where the balls exit the machine. I have always used the Newgy RoboPong balls. I use a damp sponge to remove the shavings. I also use compressed air to clean out the ball exit area and use rubber rejuvenator to clean the firing wheel.
