Dilbert is correct. The CS-400E machine is the machine of choice. The component insertions are light guided, the components are automatically presented to the operator and the leads are automatically cut and clinched at programmable lead length and

I would be happy to add programing of the CS400 to my program PCBSynergy gregp. I have added about 80 SMT machine formats to the program to date. All built by reverse engineering. You only need to send me some example formats or better still your ori

Hi Spoilt...thanks for your reply. The latter part of your reply is a bit perplexing though. The CS-400E is easy to set up. There are two lights spots that indicate the insertion location. The component does not need to be prepped other than bent

How about Semi-Auto insertion. Only one type of machine needed to insert virtually any through hole components. The CS-400E was originally manufactured by Contact Systems and now Versatec is offering remanufactured systems...completely rebuilt to t

No. they struggle to move a little but not a full cycle. We have replaced the 3 control boards on the back door, both EMI filters, check and replaced all fuses, pulled the clinch head and swapped it with another working clinch head and that blew a c

My background is in I.T. Here's what's likely the cause. It's old and worn out. Not much else to offer technical wise. Hard drives are mostly permanently sealed to keep dust out and have moving parts. Eventually they wear out. The way to prevent fail

The first thing we do with all machines we buy is back them up. First we backup the calibration info, then we remove the hard drive and image it to our server. If the hdd dies, we can restore it to a new one. Look on eBay for new-old stock on the har

I did some work with 400E's and have can give you a couple things to try with your Y axis problem. 1. There is a file called stepperparms.exe that will load all the stepper parameters on the PCL IC's. Your y axix chip may have corrupt data on it.

Thanks for the informative posting.. When I power up the machine this is what I get.. 1. The movable cutter does not actuate the cutter knifes. (The head still jogs 360 and the movable cutter moves in the linear axis but the c&c motor does not act

Versatec specializes in the remanufacture of Contact Systems machines, most notably the CS-400E component locator with programmable cut and clinch. these machines are field proven over the past two decades and provide many benefits when utilized: 1.
