Thanks "j".
There is absolutely no support for Fuji in New Zealand or for the older IP-1 and MCS/2 programming computer. We got the machine working by studying the FIP-1 Operation Manual and the MCS/2 Programming manual and a lot of trial and error. We also have the electrical wiring diagrams, the parts manual and the calibration document which came with the machine (bought at auction).
The manuals don't cover speed issues and Fuji's "SMT Report" would help greatly. There are so many variables such as pickup delay, carrying speed, acceleration speed, etc. that can vary for each component type that the eyes sort of start to gloss over.
The MCS/2 software has the ability to collect, analyze and report production data but the manuals don't even start to tell you how to use the software to do these things. Perhaps we're missing some important instructions.
Anyway, thanks for the help and if anyone can share information on the Fuji IP-1 with us it would be greatly appreciated and put to good use.
Regards,
Bert van den Berg
