Just a slight correction....the quad align card is located at the back rear right of the machine (in a cage). If it is a cyber-optics 4c machine....the laser align card is in the front card rack to the far left.

Is this a single head Quad IVc or a dual headed line? if it is a dual line you can swap the align cards in the front bay between the two heads and see if the symptom follows. The card on the far right is a transport card, shouldn't need to swap tha

So, I haven't used my Quad 4C for a while and when I started everything back up to run a new board it appears that the Quad align is in need of calibration. When I pick up a component and do an LAE measurement on it it shows the part center location
