I've had experienced this issues here with our GSM's Flex heads. Try this: 1.- Clean your linear scales with alcohol and a lint free cloth. Both the X and Y. This one has fixed the majority of our errors when one of the heads just stops for no apare

Hi, Our GSM1 pick and place machine has an Axis head 2 Z velocity error. None of the spindles of Head 2 work during placement and it brings up the error message. It will not proceed after that. I have tried lowering and raising the spindles in the

parameters -> axis that z axis for head2 is also enabled ("axis mounted" must be 1)

Z axis drivers are located in co-salled LP servo bay. It is 19" rack mounted in lower left part of the machine. Head1 z axis driver is in slot 4 and head2 driver is in slot 6

Deni, Do you know if the theta axis controlled by the same slots/cards as the z-axis, by any chance? We also can't get theta to work on head 2, so, I'm wondering if the issue is related... thanks, ..rob

So...today, we were able to get rid of the z axis not mounted error. It looks like we did so by modifying the settings in axes location (matched them to the beam 1 settings). Now, when we try to lower the nozzles, we can hear a relay or switch clic

Had someone in from the broker that we bought this machine from, and he did some poking around. We've learned some things, but, unfortunately, are still no closer to getting the machine running :( We discovered (based on double checking other machi

Thanks, Tushar, we might give that a try. The only reason I'd lean away from it is because I've been able to determine that I can't get the nozzles to move down on head 2 in the manual screen (or move the theta). I may be chasing two problems, but,

No, each card in LP servo rack drives only one motor. But there is an servo cotnroller board (actually 3 of them) in the VME rack (where all computers are). Third one from the left(slot13) controls head2 theta and z axis. That might be a cause of you

Deni, Thanks. I managed to do pretty much exactly that. I was able to get the changers to pop up, and check the vacuum on the nozzles. The first two nozzles are very well sealed into the changer (can't move them), but, the balance of the nozzles
