Hello, I have 3 Quad 4C one with Quad Align and 2 with the older lasers. All 3 machines have a placement offset issue. Every 4 or 5 boards one of the machines has a placement offset of about 10-20mills in one direction. A reset usually brings it back

Tyco has recently completed development work on the ThinPRO feeder. This feeder provides exceptional performance for 0201 and 0402 applications. The feeder is compatable with the IV-C, QSV, QSX, QSP-2, and APS platforms.

From personal experience with 4c's: run away as fast and as far away from them as you can. These will bring you nothing but grief.

I have run the 4Cs for over 8 years it has been a good little machine. We use it for placing 10 mil pitch flip chips. I buy the yearly insurance through Tyco every year.

I am with Claude on the Quad....run fast and far. Why not go with a GSM instead, There are many who support these. The Earlier GSM 1's are as cheap as ever now too. Al

Hi all, Does anyone know if there are other manufacturers feeders that will work with the C series? Thanks, Larry

FWIW, we don't have any for ours, nor have I ever heard of any.

Larry, I know some of the Quad stuff is also Samsung but don't know how that translates to feeders. I suggest calling Precision Placement Machines, Inc. They should know about 4c.

You might also have a dirty/sticky Z-rod resulting in the same problem, although ordinarily you'll see a lot of missed pickups as well.

I hope that you don't miss that data later on. My suggestion of changing align type to "2" (in the extent data) eliminates the alignment step but leaves the data intact.
