I purchased a used QUAD 4C -136 and after a few months got the machine running 8 hr shifts. One issue I have come across is feeder drift. I kept re-aligning the feeder pickup positions but they would always change. Finally I got the time to measure

Hello, This is from my old documents....hope it helps. I would first try mod code 53 = 2 first.....if the machine is a 2C. The motor was known for causing this problem after getting old. These are all resolutions for motor error 4. Step Potential P

I have seen a similar error on a Quad 4C machine. When setting up the parameters on a tray part there are several points of data you have to input. You have to teach where the center of the 1st part (and you have to know which corner your machine con

Motor error 4 is an error that is caused by the machine not reaching a position in a timely matter. Usually its in the x/y axis but also could be z. If you have cleared the mod codes (function 35 shift 7) the machine should home. Usually this problem

Hi again Bob, I'll go by your item numbers: 1. OK, I'll not worry about it. 2. Somehow, it seems to me that it must be doing something or in Run Step Placements there wouldn't be different behavior for Alignment type 0 vs. other settings. I know I'

Thanks again Bobpan for all of your help. I hope some of my questions are dumb ones. Regarding "first", the QA error 0, you were right. In checking the setup, for some reason theta was 65227 instead of the 0 that I thought I had set. Regarding "sec

Bobpan, thank you for your speedy response. As to the items you noted: 1. I did a test of Funct 30 for the first 5 nozzles, 2 times each as follows: noz1 Ht=215 & 219, center=1005 (all nozzles all tests), run out 2.2 & 2.7. Noz2 Ht=228 &228, runout=

Hi Bobpan, Regarding "second", the results of the test are no difference - still rejects the part. I tried 2 mils, 3 mils, 5 mils, 7 & 9. I changed the tolerances fron about 15% to 20%+. By the way, I did put on the new nozzle and it is still the sa

Hi again Bobpan, One thing I noticed when I pulled the z-rod to inspect it was that it was "bearly" finger tight. When I replaced it, I snugged it a bit better (not overtightening). After resuming setting up additioanl placements (this board requires
