We are in process of calibrating one of our GSM machines; we were able to successfully calibrate the front and rear ULC's but when we moved on to calibrate the head we get a spindle runout error midway through the routine (pic attached.) The spindles

The z-rod bellows on head 2 and head 3 are slightly bent. The machine will show you this error if the runout is over 6.5 mils. This is usually caused by too much z when picking parts out of a vib or tray feeder. The machine will probably run. I ha

Hello there, I work at Redcom Laboratories in Victor NY. I'm a student and new to being a machine repair technician. I'm having some bother with one of our TYCO QUAD QSP-2 machines. I keep getting the errors: "WARNING: Head#2 Nozzle RUNOUT=27.1 mi

Perfect! Thank you bobpan! Shes up and running again.

The way its supposed to work...is....when you do a function 30 the z axis should step down until the nozzle tip is seen in the quad align or laser align. The readout should have a nozzle height but if its the earlier firmware for the machine it might

Banging and knocking is not good. The noise that we hear on ours is more of a whining. .1mm runout and rough edges = time to replace in my opinion.

Update: We moved the vacuum post to the front of the machine at the recommended slot 26 (instead of slot 58 in the back) and changed from 340 to 360F nozzles and the machine was able to complete calibration.

Nozzles are the issue - too small nozzle and calibration part will move slightly during rotation, as it's quite big.

Makes sense; hand written notes in our calibration kit noted that 340's we're acceptable, but apparently not.

Our calibration nozzles (360's) suffered from rubber disease (all rubber parts on GSM disintegrate into odd sticky molasse after a while), so we thought 340's will do. They did not...
