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

I have had similar problems before where the machine will intermittently stop with a limit error. Reset the machine and away it goes. Replacing the ribbon cable that runs from the head (37 pin D-sub)has solved this problem. This cable gets flexed a l

Hello Bob, we changed the nozzle z parameter until we got limit errors and backed up 1 mil. There was a slight reduction in the limit errors on the pickup of the component but it is still a problem. With the mod code we adjust the soft z height to ab

If its a tall part and you are trying to scan it lower than 200 or so...you can have this problem (limit error). Thinking of things to look at.....Is your z-rod spring sticking? Push up on it and it should spring back with NO hesitation...if it does.

We have been having a recurring error on one of our Quad 4Cs. When it picks up the first of 8 47uF SMT capacitor it stops with a limit error. If we do 2 consecutive function 30s, the problem goes away until the next board. The first function 30 re
