I have 3 used Quad 4Cs and the nozzle changer on one machine never worked. I decided to troubleshoot it this week. I repaired the changer by changing a defective optical sensor but I still get error 17 when I try a run-step nozzle 1, 2 or 3. Error 17

I answered my own question. The nozzle changer was in the left front, moving it to the left back fixes the problem.

Try a fid teach on your changers. I don't recall how to do it but you'll find it pretty easy if you surf around. Also, the seals on the nozzles must be good and soft. If you can still get them new, I'd replace. Same goes for seals in changers. C

If you have two changers and only one head, make sure there is only one open port (one changer should be filled up and the other should have one open hole.) The head should be full of nozzles as well. As you mentioned go into the diagnostics and act

The message might still be correct. Change the pneumatic cylinder on the nozzle changer - I have seen these to go bad.

We emailed off forum about this...and I'm wondering how things are progressing. As I noted in email, our issue was the nozzle change was resulting in too many nozzles being out of the same vacuum channel on the tool box. I can't remember how it was

Try a nozzle changer teach. Machine will look for fids on the changer block. If that doesn't work, clean the rubber seals in the bottom of the block. No alcohol - dries them out. Might need to replace them if they are dry or cracked. Clean your

Looks like that did it; I put another nozzle in hole 5, set the configuration and machine dry-cycled properly.

Hi Swag, Thanks for the suggestions. I did perform a changer teach on both changers successfully which resolved minor mis-alignment issues but not this problem. You can see in the photo that there are two open holes (5&6)and it is trying to drop a n
