The PLC240-AK is an IC on the stepper board used to control all the stepper driven axis. I don't remember which axis are driven by stepper motors, possibly the table (x axis). Which axis acts wierd or doesn't move when you home the machine?

I had 2 Contact 3AV and 2 Contact 3Z machines. Basically the same as 3AVX machines. Both models are good machines. They are perfect for small production and even medium production size lots if you have multiple machines. Super easy to operate and

I placed almost nothing but 0402 components on the Contact 3AV and 3Z machines I had. I will admit that there are better machines for placing 0402 components. Not sure why the 3AVX would perform poorly at 0402 placement. The feeders have a X & Y a

We use both a 3S and a 3AV. We do place 0603s and have tried 0402s which the machine is supposed to have the ability to place but will not do reliably in a production environment. We do have fairly good results with the 0603s, but we try to place t
