bobpan quick background. I am very new to the Quad machines, I used to "run" one, but I never learned the inner workings of a machine. I just purchased 2 used quad 4cs, I had a training session over the weekend with a very knowledgeable guy and l

It sounds like your dispenser has a problem....The default mod code for 56 is 0 (this should be off). Thats why when you cleared the mod codes the machine was able to home. When you reload your saved mod codes it is probably set to 1. The machine wil

I would check the following: 1. Make sure the head can move in all axis including z and theta by physically moving each. 2. Check the voltage from the main power supply which is located in the middle of the machine on the top of the main board asse

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

I have a problem setting up the LAE on my Quad 4c. I set it up for 0805, and it seems to work, although it rejects a lot of parts, at least it places "most" of them. I tried setting up on a soic14, and could not get even one to pass. I believe I h

My recollection of the 4c is fuzzy but I know that there's a ribbon cable on the head that gets some abuse when the head rotates. Seems like mine would eventually break at the crimps and I had to replace it a few times. Eventually I bought the parts

Hi, I'm using a "ye olde" Quad 4c Mk2 built in 1995 for eight years. During that period I had to change 3 HDD (now it runs a compact flash with and free DOS), 3 Z-rod bellows,3 laser heads, some monitors, nozzles and misc parts. Despite that it has t

Hi Bob. When I initialize the system, all functions appears. In "Utilities/Initialize System Comm" option too. I have to confirm yet, but this problem appears to not happen in all programs. The red error message shows when I launch the program. My su
