QUAD QSA-30

Is there anyone using a QUAD QSA-30? I am experiencing problems with the Y axis drifting in the positive direction. This can occur anytime from a few minutes to several hours after the problem has been fixed. Fixed means recreating a program from scratch. Does anyone have spare MVME, QUAD aligners or AXIS XY cards they would like to get rid of? Thanks

John....Are you positive the machine is drifting.....Are the pickups drifting too???? If they are....then you do have a drift prob....if they are still on....sounds like false fiducial finds.

Good luck.
