The first thing to do is to change the z-rod. Sometimes a very old z-rod spring will weaken causing it to reject many parts. If it only rejects parts after a nozzle change....you may need to put some super lube grease on the O-rings on the bottom of

Hi, Bob you're right. I replaced the Z-rod and the machine started to go alright. When I examined the head's mechanism I omitted to check the most exposed an delicate part... my bad. The old Z-rod came with the machine, and its slide movement was loc

Hi Bob. When I initialize the system, all functions appears. In "Utilities/Initialize System Comm" option too. I have to confirm yet, but this problem appears to not happen in all programs. The red error message shows when I launch the program. My su

Ok, I'll try it. In the meantime I overcame the problem by downloading the original program to the machine and tought the new placements, board size and repeats and then uploaded it to the new file and edited the rest on CC. It worked fine, no strang

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

For pick and place, I have worked with the Zevatech machines and Philips machines. Both are great machines. The Zevatech will give you greater speed and still offer great accuracy and repeatability. Don't let the belt drive stuff scare you, it sta
