I have a 3 head CSM84 without vision. I have set up head 3 without chuck jaws to use with the mechanical alignment station. When I got the machine all the M.A. offsets were zero. Over time, I have gotten them closer, but I really don't understand the procedure for properly setting these offsets. It gets complicated, as the head offset interacts with the M.A. offsets in a very confusing way. I've now got it within about .2 mm or so, but I think it could still be closer if I knew what I was doing. It is easy to get it to work for one rotation of the placed component, but to get it to align well at all 4 rotations is driving me nuts.
Does anybody still remember this machine? Mine is a PA130620, with the DC brush motors.
Thanks,
Jon
