I have 3 used Quad 4Cs and the nozzle changer on one machine never worked. I decided to troubleshoot it this week. I repaired the changer by changing a defective optical sensor but I still get error 17 when I try a run-step nozzle 1, 2 or 3. Error 17

I answered my own question. The nozzle changer was in the left front, moving it to the left back fixes the problem.

Yeah, I think it has to do with both changers being owned by the one head. If each changer was owned by separate heads then they would each need an open hole.

Hi All, I have been running into an issue where my gsm is not leaving an empty nozzle hole in changer 1 and is leaving two open in the other changer. The machine is attempting to change one of the nozzles 5-7 and leaving one open so no vacuum builds

Try a nozzle changer teach. Machine will look for fids on the changer block. If that doesn't work, clean the rubber seals in the bottom of the block. No alcohol - dries them out. Might need to replace them if they are dry or cracked. Clean your

Looks like that did it; I put another nozzle in hole 5, set the configuration and machine dry-cycled properly.

Yea! Sounds familiar that you'd need to do that. I haven't run GSM for a long time but sounds like something we had to do at some point.

Try a fid teach on your changers. I don't recall how to do it but you'll find it pretty easy if you surf around. Also, the seals on the nozzles must be good and soft. If you can still get them new, I'd replace. Same goes for seals in changers. C

If you have two changers and only one head, make sure there is only one open port (one changer should be filled up and the other should have one open hole.) The head should be full of nozzles as well. As you mentioned go into the diagnostics and act
