Unfortunately it seems we have a worse problem than a Z rod spring. The machine was running fine this morning but ran out of a part, and when I shut the door and pressed Servo On nothing happens again. I shut down and let sit for a while. Now I get a

Miro, The video has nothing to do with the Quadalign. On a good startup and with no nozzle installed run a "Function 30" and post numbers that you get on the handheld terminal. On a bad startup (nozzle in the down position) press the re button on t

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

My Quad IVc's will also do the same thing. Mine are equipped with CyberOptics scanners, not QuadAlign. The Cyberoptics scanners do go bad and once they do, they get very warm to the touch and at the same time, if the Quad is reset, the theta axis wil

Hi Sound like the same problem that i had. The machine after it had warmed up when initialising would drive the z rod down with the quadalign on checking for the nozzle height (I think). To me it seemed like an overheating problem as after allowin

Hello Bukas, thanks again. Since at an early stage I switched heads # 1 and # 6 and they are not compatible, then I went through the manual and figured out why. in order to start at the beginning and check that it had not damaged anything, I put the
