Hi everyone, I've been out of it for a while after 27 years. Got made redundant in February. What can you do? I know - turn 60 and get cranky. That'll be the ticket. Anyway...... Trying to help someone out with a Yamaha YVL88MKII. I am very conversant with the older YM series but not the YVs. Here's my question. How can I tell if the laser is operational? Cannot get anything to pass. Same result parameters in the test no matter what the component.
Now I'm presuming that I'd see a flash of light of some colour during processing. I've run Samsung CP40s since 1998 and you see the red flash when laser centering. When I said this to the owner he replied that he's never seen any visual clue that the laser is doing it's job. So - how can I tell?
The owner runs the machine a few times a year doing job lots of his own products. It's basically a garage operation. No paperwork or anything and he programmes online and keeps everything in his head.
I'm also struggling with the menu system in these, so your answers may have to be step by step.
BTW - I'm doing this because I tried retirement and it sucks. I was so bored.
Regards to all in SMT world - just remember - all ya gotta do is press the big green button and everything takes care of itself. Gees - I don't even know why they paid me for all those years...... Cheers, Darby.
