If there is a tactile sensor on this machine, make sure the switch works properly (view input test screen while pushing plunger in and out) and clean/oil the plunger.

Sounds to me like the driver for the tactile is not working. The tactile has three components to it. The first is the switch, the second is the pneumatic up/down actuator and the third is a small motor in the tactile assembly. The motor has a driv

My switch is good, I can check the switch and the two photo sensors on the input test screen. They are turning on and off.I can see it no the board too. When I start up I can see Tactile unit come down so I know pneumatics portion is good. I am still

Try raising the table in Calibrate mode. Sensor or Tactile connector could be contacting the underside of the rails and overloading the axis. Check for 24V on the Z-axis brake. Check the fuse(F5) and voltage to the driver. Check DIP switch settin

Check your DIP switch settings on new driver. Not sure about calibration. Try QMPM for password.

SWAG is prolly right. You can verify the tactile sensor by watching the machine carefully. When finding the stencil height, make sure the board goes all the way up and touches the stencil to trigger the tactile. If it doesn't, then something is wr

That AP can paste 0201's and has built in 2D. I would keep it. The AP series "forcers and platens" design is a bit fragile, but reliable and tends to last a long time. My biggest complaint is the cheap air hoses to the 3 forcers. After about 8 ye

Please clarify, Z axis gears (Blades)? The MPM head I believe is what your are asking is driven up and down via a lead screw. The machine gets the zero point from the "HAT" tactile sensor in the table nest. When squegees are installed the blades are
