Commponent pitch programming is performed via the buttons on the feeder. I don't remember enough to walk you through it but there are people here that do - I'm sure you'll get some help shortly. If not, go to http://www.precision-repairs and use th

SOLVED The LED/phototransistor was a little of the center on the "index wheel" (don't know a better name, its the gear that pulls the component strip). The wheel works with a LED from one side and a phototransistor from the other, through a hole on

Good job.... Sorry i didnt see this post...some of us were busy snow tubing over the weekend...haha. Many times over the years....the rubber belt inside the feeder will deposit material inside. Sometimes it ends up on the sensors and blocks the ligh

UPDATE: I was reading around about similar problems. My function #30 always return nozzle height 1. I tried to clean up the glasses and the internal laser lenses, no go, still at height 1. Even after removing both glasses, still at height 1. I saw s

Hey bob, I had no luck. Even removing both glasses, cleaning that curved lenses with a cotton swab and isopropanol and blowing compressed air, the height still on 1. I will try on the next weekend again, to be sure, but my first guess is the QA un

0603 and up should be no problem on the machine. If you are doing under 25 mil pitch the machine needs an upward camera to repeatably place the parts. You will always lose the first 10 or so parts with cut tape but that should be about it. Repair par

MM, exchange the cards doesn't make any difference. The problem happens when the machine is moving from left to right. Right to left works all the time. bobpan, thanks, I completely missed this one. The default was 0 and now is set to 1. The build c

Hey guys, I'm using my Quad IV-c for a while now and I already manage to run some batches, but I never used the "Quad Align" feature before, since almost all my boards are 1206 parts, that doesn´t need a ton of precision to align. Anyway,

I have been researching older lower cost used Pick and Place machines and so far I am leaning towards the Quad IV C. There seems to be a fair amount of these units around and I have heard some pretty good things about them on some of the past posts.

I am looking at buying a pick and place machine to assemble the circuit boards we make. Most of the boards are small (2 to 10 square inches), most are 2 sided, and have maybe 20-50 parts per side. I use mostly 0805/0603 chips, SOT-23, SOD-123, SOIC
