Scratches do not necessarily mean bad! Usually the forcer motor fails before a platen. The motors become weak or don't evenly distribute the supplied air, which causes them to tilt and drive into the platens. Mechanical misalignment of the VY forcer

What you describe is the X snuggers fitted into the workholder which do need either a flat board or good vacuum to work. There are several solutions. One solution you can try yourself is to use Vacuum cups, ( bellows type) designed into the workholde

There's not many ways of doing it on the cheap except... Buy a second hand universal GSM1 with VME 630 vision, 0.5 mil per pixel camera & some expensive ceramic nozzles for the 0201's. This will be quite slow & the software quite awkward but lookin

We've got a problem with our AP25.. I just finished repairing and calibrating this printer. We needed to replace the camera. After the cal. was done, the print accuracy was superb. However, it seems now, the consistency will not maintain itself. T

When you teach the "teach boardstop Y" make sure the camera is seeing the leading edge of the board and not too close to the rails. It should calculate the pre-stop position correctly. I assume you have thoroughly checked the sensor. Also check th

Wow, I'd have to say the exact opposite. Compared to MPM the DEKs were WAY longer to program. But find out for yourself CN. Program each and get back to us. Don't forget to program in 2D as well. That will be the kicker! As for spending money,

This from a person named "just my thoughts"? As far as "cheaper in the long run" , that can be debatable. Especially at $160 dollars per hour for a FSE. Double rate for weekends. Air fare, hotel, car and per-diem....it adds up fast! Also, he may

This is one item that has had us confussed for a long time. Your right the only advantage is speed, our question has always been why buy a expensive machine if you don't need it? Have never received a good answer. What we do hear is "we seen it a
