Hello, all, I have been having problems with bent push rods on my Philips CSM84. I have caught it a couple times when it happened, but it happens so fast I still don't know exactly what the sequence is that causes this. The push rod is clipping a

This sounds like a Quadalign problem. Upon startup the Quadalign system checks runout of the Z-rod and tries to find the tip of the nozzle. It will keep lowering the Z-rod and looking for the tip until it hits it's limit. Check and see if the Quadali

Seeing a product such as this and thinking about simple engineering. Every lightning rod I have ever seen on a building, home, tower, etc... had this long metal device called a "conductive wire" that runs into the ground. I'll stick with the ligh

In the center of the head shaft there is a rod that is used to flag 2 sensors at the top of the shaft. This lets the machine know when a nozzle is attached. Check that the sensors are working correctly and the rod moves freely. The sensors are fib

We're having an intermittent fault with a QSV-1 where it will on occasions oscillate violently during a run and this usually results in 1 or both Z-rods being destroyed, along with the nozzle currently fitted. This has been on and off for the last 2

The first thing to do is to change the z-rod. Sometimes a very old z-rod spring will weaken causing it to reject many parts. If it only rejects parts after a nozzle change....you may need to put some super lube grease on the O-rings on the bottom of

Also check the z-rod and make sure it is not compressed.
