They have there strong points and weak ones. I have worked with them for the last 5 years and have seen some flakey problems (Cables, feeders, encoders) that will cause you some down time but if you get a good price on a system it might be worth it.

Quad4C's have their moments. If the price is right and you are aware of the machines limitations then you will be satisfied. The placement rate is slow, 1.2 seconds/chip. Don't buy any Quad if it has the CyberOptics Laser unit, the Quadalign unit is

I think I have the vision problems figured out. There were two problems. 1) The Alignment type was set to "Small" for my TQFP48 part. It should have been set to "Complete". This is a clear case of poor documentation. The AutoProgram manual lists the

That documentation was written 20 years ago and was meant to be a reference for the software. To use autoprogram...engineers would take a 3-5 day class. It simply was not supposed to be learned from a manual.

Make sure that the lens is clean and you dont have any parts down inside on the camera. Also sometimes the leds that shine up to the part are bent in crazy directions. Make sure they look like they are all aimed up at the same direction. Is the brigh

Does anyone know how to make the vision alignment work on a Quad 4C? What I mean is make it work right, and reliably. I know how to define the component for inspection (lead pitch, lead count, dimensions, tolerances, etc.), and I know how to set ligh

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.

1281x1281 is probably your total quad align window. Which usually means your scanning under the part. Try to scan more towards the top....instead of 20 try 5. It could be the nozzle is not seating on good or the spring on the z-rod is weak and when t

I have a problem setting up the LAE on my Quad 4c. I set it up for 0805, and it seems to work, although it rejects a lot of parts, at least it places "most" of them. I tried setting up on a soic14, and could not get even one to pass. I believe I h

Also check the lae on the pickup that is being dumped. I think its function 16....make sure that the alignment type is 0.
