I have only used the Quad 4C, We bought it used and ran good right out of the box without the need for repairs. It uses quadaline and does not work very well on IC's. We place 30K 1206 parts a week with a 4 % dump to bin. I have to tolerance set to 3

I am using a Novastar 12S solder wave with Kester water soluable fux 22-2425. I have used this for years without problems on an old Hollis machine. Just started using the Novastar and after fine tuning I get itermitten bridging on the front of the P

Jerry, If you�re sure your board has sufficient flux it must be that your slow flowing (single lambda) wave produces more oxides then the flux can handle. Due to the conveyer angle the front of the board usually has less flux then the back of the bo

Hi Jerry, Sounds like the white stuff is flux. I doubt if 4 pcb mfgers could be undercuring all at once. Good point though. Since you changed washers and now have the problem - it's your new washer. Can you bring back the old one to make sure?

Did you buy this from an equipment dealer or an end user? If you bought it from an equipment dealer and they said manuals included I would call them daily with questions that a manual would probably provide until they give up and send you manuals.

You probably do not have "Drift". The rotary table and or fixture may not be square. The rotary table can be adjusted. You should have someone who has done this before available to make the adjustment before you try it yourself. You can check the

Jeff, You assume too much. Not all VCD's had clinch in sensors. Darron did not tell us what vintage this machine is so what habsfan said could be the problem. We need more information to help. Does the machine stop when it doesn't cut the lead? D

Do all 0201's reject at the same rate? If even 1 P/N has a lower reject rate this can point towards a feeder problem. I have had a similar problem on a CP-IV-2 with 0402's that was caused by feeders. If all reject at the same rate it can be the PD o

Hi JD, We use the OM-310 NC for most of our lead free work and see some wetting issues. We also have a lead free produst that requires cleaning so we use the WS-819. It does seem to wet better although I have never tried the WS-819 on the same b

Hi AJ, Change ALL 12 of the 1.0mm to 0.7mm. The CP 4 can only set nozzle size for S M and L not some of the 12 but all 12. 0402 usually come in 8 x 2 mm tape so you need 8 x 2 feeders or you will waste 1 component for every component you use. T
