Thankyou, I've been sidelined onto another job for the time being but I'll hopefully be back onto it before too long, maybe with someone else who might have some ideas. I've noticed occasionally before I recalibrated everything that when the needle was slightly off, it would pick up the 0603's while...

Yes, something here is not as it is supposed to be, although I don't immediately see what. Does you drive the valve with 24V? Do you hear the valve operating when it should? Does changing the time has any effect? Does the "pickup this" function shine any light to the issue? -I am driving ...

From the top of my head, I think from tapes the component left and up from sprocket hole is picked - so just set hole 1 accordingly in tape setup dialog. My mistake, I thought it was up and right, I've moved the reference hole across one, should fix that issue. For pickup errors, you should experim...

I found that I had only 12v going to the vacuum pump, so I gave it 24v now it works. I didn't realize the machine was saving the tape progress though I guess that makes sense. Unfortunately however i have another issue in that it is trying to pick the first component up to the left of the reference ...

Further problems include -machine doesn't want to pick components up from the first reference hole on the tapes, it skips to somewhere on the middle for the 0805's even though on the tape positions table the X location specifies the right position. Though next X keeps increasing by about +30 every t...

On the Hello World job, the pump is only picking up the components some of the time. On the last run I did, it failed on the first component then successfully picked everything else up (although the 0603's it picked up at their corners and turned them the wrong way), but then after changing the head...

No problem I will reply to your email

Sorry, I got confused. Gantry moves away, drawing goes down is of course correct. The image matches what the gantry is doing, and that is as it should be. Your image shows "measure" result as X:4.725, Y:4.2. If you move the gantry there, is the circle in the crosshair? Found the issue. Wh...

I feel like I'm being told conflicting info by both of you. Mrandt, the crosshair follows the paths that you describe above. But JuKu you tell me the wiring is wrong? F5 sends gantry left F6 sends gantry right F7 sends gantry away F8 sends gantry toward F9 rotates needle anticlockwise F10 rotates ne...

http://i.imgur.com/ZULD99z.jpg http://i.imgur.com/L40vJLW.jpg Please also check your camera orientation (moving gantry left should move the image to the left, moving it away from you should move image to the bottom). When I move the gantry to the right, the XY drawing moves to the left of the displa...
