I got a 3000 that is acting crazy. After a print, the board is unclamped and the Z-axis lowers. It continues to lower until it trips the limit switch. It is suppposed to move in the Y-axis to line up with the tracks while lowering in the Z-axis.

MPM fan, thanks for the suggestions. I like the way you think. But I forgot to mention the most important thing. It only does this a few times per shift. The rest of the time it works fine. But we must re-boot every time due to the computer lock

Anyone who uses Pepto-Bismol is drinking Bismuth. In the early 90s the Dept of Defense banned Antimony in solder but later repealed the ban. I drained the waves and the hot air solder leveler and replaced the solder with "No Antimony" solder. Ther

JEDEC defines packaging, matrix trays, tape and reel, and like whatnot. You need to be searching ANSI and IPC. Find these documents: * ANSI/J-STD-020, Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Plastic Integrated Circuit Surface Mount Devices *
