Anyway, after both procedures, the feeder still advancing more than 4mm (like 12mm or so)

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

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

POCKET POSITION PROGRAMMING This procedure ensures the components are properly centered at the tape feeder pickup point (over spring stabilizer). NOTE: The feeder can be reset at any time by removing it from the feeder base and reinserting it. This

Hey Steve, I wrote to Bob, but he doesn't reply yet. Digging around, I found these: HANDLING COMPONENT VARIETY The adjustable Pocket Index function enables handling a variety of component tape reels or special component packaging. The following ins

I am glad you got it. It had to be one of these.
