I have worked with 4c's for two years. The feeders are "tinker toys" with a mechanism that slips, so the pick-up has to be adjusted several times as the reel is used, especially with 13" reels. The worm gear was plastic on the steel shaft of the moto

Have you performed the camera to nozzle calibration ? I can send you instructions for this if you need them.

Thanks for the reply. I have not performed the camera to nozzle calibration. Is this the same as the calibration of the vu3 camera in the manual? If you would please give me your instructions, any help is appreciated.

The camera to nozzle offset calibration requires that you modify some of the mod codes once the offsets are calculated. This is not part of the VU3 calibration. Send me your email address so that i can attach a copy of the manual for you.

Are you uploading the mod codes to your central controller when you change them? If not when you run your produciton the central controller will download the mod codes that are stored in the CC. You might also have an encoder problem. When the machin

Multiple times i have seen where the downward camera lens inside of the camera becomes detached inside. It is just glued down. To see if this is the problem. Park the head over a spot and tap on the camera every direction. The crosshairs should NOT m

It does sound as if you may have an encoder problem. Have you cleaned the encoder glass ? A spec of grease or other matter on theis glass can cause problems. Be careful when cleaning because you do not want to break it. Clean the front of the encoder

Additionally, I have seen the bad align error from incorrect pickup Z. Quad align can freak out sometimes if it sees something it doesn't like. If all else fails I just reboot and 99% of the time the problem goes away.

Hello, First of all I am new to the forum and surface mount machinery in general. The machine in question has a problem picking parts correcly. The main problem seems to be that the camera and actual head location is out of calibration? If I do a ru
