Hello All, I've just bought a Quad 4c pick & place machine. It's so close to actually building boards, but just doesn't quite get there. I was wondering if there's somebody out there with experience of these machines that might be able to help...?

We bought a used Siemens (thus we have no factory support just yet...) and have run into a bit of a "catch 22" situation. We got an "General Error :694 Incorrect nozzle length" and in the past this had to do with having a defective nozzle on the sle
