One thought. Since this machine uses the camera as the board sensor, I've had a metal board support right where the camera sets up to detect the incoming board. Try loading the board after removing all the board supports. If it loads, then try som

I've had to order the PCB and stencil from aftermarket sources in the past, but I can't find the info anywhere on the stencil/hole grid. All I have is this manual. I believe I actually rented the PCB/stencil from PPM, then ordered my own replacemen

If I'm remembering correctly, I just had a board shop I worked with supply me with a 20"x20" copper laminated piece of FR4 and used that. I believe I only used it once before I left that company, so I'm not sure how well it holds up over time.

Problem resolved- The machine camera had crashed when the operator put the PCB in upside down (this was kept secret until intense water boarding). The crash seem to take out a chip on the vision processing PCB. It was visually damaged and looked lik

Thanks for the answer. Our camera doesn't even move during USC Park initialization. I assume it's a condition which isn't met to launch the sequence, but all the sensors seems to be fine. Could you send me the log (SECSDBUG.TXT) of your machine dur

And the offer for spare parts is much appreciated. We have the nuts on the automatic conveyor systems that seems to be a little of tolerance. I will get back to you if we can't fix that with new parts.

I have 12 of the 500 series machines. For runner to the 1500. I had some software bugs but upgraded to the latest software. In 12 months of 3 shift a day production (with 1 day for maint) I have only spent about $500 USD in repair parts. I do also ru

" few software bugs"....many software bugs. May I remind you of version 6.10, 6.32 and the still-born 6.34!!! MPM has worked very hard to repair these, though it has taken some time. I have 5 machines from the SM Tech era, mpm500 and mpm1500 era (v
