Hello Marcelo, When you initialize the system in central controller...does it see mvs? Will a different job that you ran before work or does the same error happen? When do you see this error. You can email me at http://www.precision-repairs.com if y

My recollection of the 4c is fuzzy but I know that there's a ribbon cable on the head that gets some abuse when the head rotates. Seems like mine would eventually break at the crimps and I had to replace it a few times. Eventually I bought the parts

Larry, I have had this problem in the past. It turns out that there wasn't enough "Z" on our nozzle pickup locations. When a nozzle change occured the nozzle would not be fully seated on the Z-rod. When the Z-rod is driven down to pick the first part

Hi Bob. When I initialize the system, all functions appears. In "Utilities/Initialize System Comm" option too. I have to confirm yet, but this problem appears to not happen in all programs. The red error message shows when I launch the program. My su

Hi All, I wasn't sure how this would turn out until I ran some production. As I suspected, after every nozzle change the machine dumps the first 3 pickups, checks the nozzle height again (function 30?) and then begins placing with correction with n

Try these things: 1. Do a function 30....your nozzle height should consistently be around 200 +/-20....but whatever number it does find it shouldn't change. (with nozzle on) 2. Most times its the z-bellows....an old z bellows that has a worn out spri

Hello Bobpan, Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry I didn't reply yesterday as I'd gone home - I'm in the UK, so I'm guessing there's a time difference. Okay, I found the control to turn off the vacuum verify - it's SHIFT - SWITCH/VERIFY. Makes no di

Hello All, I've just bought a Quad 4c pick & place machine. It's so close to actually building boards, but just doesn't quite get there. I was wondering if there's somebody out there with experience of these machines that might be able to help...?

Hello Bobpan, Thanks for the response. 1. Function 30 gives me a consistent 182-185, even after nozzle changes. I can vary this by changing mod code 15 and I have been advised to aim for 90-110, but it doesn't seem to make any difference so I've go

That's funny... I thought that the Quads were DESIGNED to PRETEND TO PLACE PARTS..... you mean, you actually gone one to work? I'm impressed.
