I am glad you got it. It had to be one of these.

Anyway, after both procedures, the feeder still advancing more than 4mm (like 12mm or so)

Interesting enough, it did turn out to be alignment, maybe the machine is getting bend & twisted just like people do when they get old....... or maybe I should say as the beam gets less intense with old age the sensor needs to be readjusted to pick u

Is it indexing at the correct pitch when you push the forward button? I really can't remember much about those machines but it seems like that's an indication that it's not programmed correctly. I'll be bobpan knows, regardless. ;)

yes it's moving at the wrong pitch, about 3 components a time. Is the programming you talking about at the microcontroller AT85C55 or that serial memory 24C04? Or there is some procedure on the Quad to adjust this?

Good job.... Sorry i didnt see this post...some of us were busy snow tubing over the weekend...haha. Many times over the years....the rubber belt inside the feeder will deposit material inside. Sometimes it ends up on the sensors and blocks the ligh

One of my 8mm feeders is blinking the red led after the pick-up. With both buttons the motor works as expected (forward/backward), but after the nozzle pick-up the motor moves forward and then the red led blinks. pressing the buttons the green led l

Commponent pitch programming is performed via the buttons on the feeder. I don't remember enough to walk you through it but there are people here that do - I'm sure you'll get some help shortly. If not, go to http://www.precision-repairs and use th

SOLVED The LED/phototransistor was a little of the center on the "index wheel" (don't know a better name, its the gear that pulls the component strip). The wheel works with a LED from one side and a phototransistor from the other, through a hole on
