The ribbon cable would be my guess. I ran a IVc for about 3 years and we use to have to change out our cable at least once per year. I also wanted to add that you can contact Precision Placement Machines (PPM) for parts and service. We use to use

Hi, We have a Quad IVc set up with all picks, placements, and sequence working. I have managed to get through several passes with some pain, mainly from SOT-23 parts, but it is getting better. On occasion, when picking from one of three feeders loc

If the feeders that you are having problems with have tall parts in them.....and these are the ones the machine is stopping on.....check to see that you are not scanning higher than what your function 30 nozzle height is. In other words...if your fun

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

Mike, There was a dipswitch that can be changed that will clear the machine settings and reset everything back to defaults. You will also lose your programs so backing up everything is a must. If you need and/or want to do this let me know and i will

I don't work on quads but I can give you some things to look for... Each of the moving axis work off a motor that is controlled by a "drive". Some of these drives have a fault or error output that is connected to the motion controller. One of your

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
