Thanks Bob. Using a flashlight helps a lot, indeed. Is "re-adjust the angle" just a bend on the LEDs heads (by hand)? I will try. To replace de LEDs, can I use white ones? I believe with the reds I get less light than whites, but maybe the camera ne

The y-axis on that machine is left to right. If this is the axis you are having a problem with....check the motor. I have had to tighten the tension on it before. If you notice you lose steps after running for a while then this is going to be the iss

Another semi-related question: are the four motion cards the same? (except for the dips, I guess). I have a spare one, marked as T motion, all dips to up position. Can I use as X or Y, if I match the dips? The boards look like to have the same comp

x and y are the same...just change switches. t and z are the same...just change switches. The voltages on the cards are different(x/y same--t/z same)....i do have a procedure somewhere that allows you to make an x/y card into a t/z card. good luck

Commponent pitch programming is performed via the buttons on the feeder. I don't remember enough to walk you through it but there are people here that do - I'm sure you'll get some help shortly. If not, go to http://www.precision-repairs and use th

SOLVED The LED/phototransistor was a little of the center on the "index wheel" (don't know a better name, its the gear that pulls the component strip). The wheel works with a LED from one side and a phototransistor from the other, through a hole on

Good job.... Sorry i didnt see this post...some of us were busy snow tubing over the weekend...haha. Many times over the years....the rubber belt inside the feeder will deposit material inside. Sometimes it ends up on the sensors and blocks the ligh

I'm with an annoying problem with an IV-c. Almost all the time the Y-axis "stuck" when the machine is homing. The motor tries to move the axis but only make a sound. If I move the axis by hand it can complete the homing and then goes to the IDLE. So

haha....thanks Steve!!! Nozzle Height of 1 means that you have dust or something in the quadalign lens. You need to clean the lens with alcohol then a dry lint free cloth and if it stays the same....that means the lens has an issue or there is dirt
