Hey guys, I'm using my Quad IV-c for a while now and I already manage to run some batches, but I never used the "Quad Align" feature before, since almost all my boards are 1206 parts, that doesn´t need a ton of precision to align.
Anyway, I would like to learn about the quad align, because I plan to use some parts that require a fine-tuning in my next pcb.
So, to try to figure out how it works, I got one of my 1206 pick-ups to make a few tests. As I understood, the QA data is included with the "ATTACH LAE?". Ok, then I set the 1206 resistor size:
Length: 126 length Tol: 10 (is this mils or %?) widht: 63 wid tol: 5 (mils or %?) height: 20 align type: 5 (medium non-leaded) pickup delay: 0 vac delay:0
The actual X, Y, and Z, from that pickup, has not been modified, is exactly the same as I used before, I just included the QA data.
After I tried to execute the pickup, the nozzle goes down to pick the part, but the machine stopped with "Limit Error Y= -19". "Motor Error 4".
I supposed was something to do with the height, then I tried to place height = 10 and then I got a "Limit Error Y=-9". Setting the height = 0, the resistor is picked, but the machine rejects and sends the part to the Dump box. If I just remove all this QA data the machine picks and place the resistor, but of course without any fine alignment.
Since the manual doesn't show a more detailed explanation, can someone give me some tips on how this feature works?
Thanks in advance.
