You can register your machine with Universal Instruments for very reasonable fee (I paid ~500$) and get access to their web-based support. Well worth the money. Also, you will be able to order spares, which you will certainly need...

So I'm attempting to run feeder teach for my platform tray feeder... but I've got no idea what first point I should teach is... normal is the end pin of the feeder but this is for the ptf conveyor... so I've got no idea. If I just teach each corner

We have mid-90's GSM's and we have had to trick the machine in some cases like this by making some of the rail area into board area.

I'd be happy with it just checking if all the pads for placement are on the board. The software (GSM) seems to complain if any of the part is off the board. I got around it by just making the board larger. I'd also like it if it just had a button for

If Universal for example decides they want to implement a registration fee to pursade customers from buying used then why have they dropped their shorts from $20,000 to register a GSM in 2000 to $2,000 recently? Guess they were tired of losing custom

The product editor complains if I have a part that overhangs the edge of the board. Any hints on how to fix this? Set the "board" size bigger than the actual board and the use an offset to make it in the right place? Or is there a better way to say t

I concur with what Tom said. Sometimes you have to trick the machine. Without seeing your board, I can't offer any specific advice. And I am not familiar with your machine, but we run SAMSUNG machines and between those and several different MPM Pr

This is not really a bug. The logic is this if you place a component beyond the edge of the board, it should falloff! So instead on having a very complex algorithm to work out component centres and then make a judgement as to whether the connector is

Well, I'm not sure about the "Trust me" button. I assume you can't tell it the part is smaller than it is because then vision won't accept it. I often add 10mm or so in X direction. In fact, when I measure the board, I just round the X up, becaus

Allowing a part to go over the board boundaries can cause collisions when boards are nested. The software on these machines has limitations but it is plenty capable and rooted in preventing physical damage to the machine. Once you are familiar with t
