Well, running into more problems because of the too high bolt on the bottom right of the nozzle holder. Just trying to calibrate the nozzles, I will hit it Multiple times. I added a final step to the load process to move the nozzle back down to a safe Y position, but then when it goes to unload, it ...

I know i have seen this before, but now I can't find it.

What size nozzle should you use for different sized parts? I have a dozen 0604 passives, but I also have some larger diodes and inductors, as well as 5 ICs. Any suggestions or website that will help?

Hi JuKu,
Just saw this thread. I am using an Acer notebook and I can't see all the screen on it. i have to scroll to see the HOME and PARK buttons. Not sure what the actual resolution of the native display is, though...

Just a follow up on my progress... I have things pretty much working, but noticed that the visual homing was rather hit and miss, but I was working around it. Then I was working on getting the nozzle changer set up, and noticed that the nozzles measured 44mm apart according to the machine, not 22mm ...

Now, the problem was with the old endoscope style cameras. The new ones are much better!

Thanks for the help! I had to increase the size and 'roundness' of the dot, and it finally recognized it! There was a spur at 7:00 that I think was defeating the recognition...

Hi All, Ok, got this crazy thing built, Thanks Juha for the better cameras!!! and now I am trying to get everything set up. First big problem, I am trying to set up the optical zero point, and it isn't find the dot I put down! I can see it, but the software evidently doesn't. I can't get it to recog...

Well, that helped, but it is STILL all screwed up on the Z axis. First, when homing, I SLOWED down the homing speed, so now it does stop on Zmax, BUT it doesn't back off again! So, when you start to move Z down, it will clear the limit switch and error out! On Zmin, it goes down, the Zmin limit swit...

Ok, apparently, this issue has been discussed before, but I CAN"T FIND IT!!!!

What is the accepted solution for this problem? I tried tie wrapping the cable to the gantry, but it still moves around...

Hi All,
JuKu helped me by having me reset the defaults on the controller. Somehow the values were all off, and this helped a lot.

On the Zmax problem, I glued a couple of pieces of popsicle stick on the lever to lengthen and broaden it so it won't go past the bolt. Will test once glue is dry.
