A long shot I know but I don't suppose anyone has any spares for the RV4s, mainly the Z axis motor (Sanyo Denki 103-4510-7040) or has anybody replaced this with an alternative in the past?

I would be grateful for any help or advise on getting this replaced.

Does anybody have any RV4s spares for sale? What we are mainly looking ofr is a control box but we would like to know if anybody has anything avalible that we may consider to buy. Luke

Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem.

When trying to open RVplace I get the error shown on the picture.

Has anyone seen this error before and anybody have any idea how to fix this?

Hi,

We had to reinstall the RV place software yesterday as whenever we opened RV place it would crash the computer.

I now have a problem where I have copied the FDR folder from the old install and placed it in the new install but I get then error message in the picture attached.

Anyone seen this problem before of have any idea how to correct this?

I have a problem with a feeder that will not start up properly. When you 1st turn the feeder on you hear some clciking sounds (index pin poping up and moveing forward and back) When I turn one of my feeders on the index pin pops up but never goes back down and therefore doesn't no perform the forward and back motion. The feeder is now stuck like this untill I remove power from the unit.

All that has happened to the feeder is all connections where removed from the PCB so we could machine a peice out from the front of the feeder and everything placed back in exactly the same place.

Also on this feeder we noticed a part has been added in (see picture) (maybe a DC to DC converter) has anybody seen anything like this and if so could you explain what this is for. I have opened up 4 feeders and this is the only one to have such a mod. "nd attachment show where wires are connected.

Hi there, is there anybody out there that has any RV4s feeders for sale or know of anywhere or anyone who is selling? I'm fine for the 8mm lanes, it's any other sizes I am looking for?

In the callibration menu there is an option "Set Center - Camera 1" does anybody know what this option does? I have a problem with my on the fly camera(see my previous post) and setting an offset for the camera seems to do nothing so hopefully this "Set Center" is what I need to do

I have a problem with my "on the fly" camera. When the machine takes a picture of the component with the "OTF" camera the image on screen shows the tool is in the dead centre of the component but in the real world it is actually picking towards one side of the component. Everything pictured using the fixed camera is fine.
The only thing I can think of happening between the machine being fine and me having this problem is that the lens of the camera fell off and we had to remove the camera to fit the lens back on and then reposition the camera.
Could this have caused the problem or does anybody have any other ideas of how to fix this problem or even what the cause could be?
Any sudjestions would be helpfull as im at a loss to what is happening

Does anybody know where i can get a replacement FID camera from? Mines seems to have died. All i can get is a light grey image. Any help will be helpful

Has anybody had problems with the addressing of the feeders? i have a feeder that works fine in position H (dip switch set 1=OFF 2=OFF 3=OFF) but in position G (dip switch set 1=ON 2=OFF 3=OFF) the feeder will not work. Iv had the feeder apart and there are no broken cables and the dip switch works fine, anyone have any other ideas to try?

Obviously i can still use the feeder but a little annoying having to move feeders around after setting the job up.

Could anybody tell me the original CDF values for a sot23. i think iv changed something but dont know what Every sot23 ends up placed on a slight angle and has to be adjusted with tweezers.
Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know what the "prog rotate" option does in the CDF file. I have played about with it and it doesn't seem to do anything. Ant one have any ideas?

I have a problem again with one of my RV4s. The are a few problems i have so will list them all

1, Sometimes when turning the pc on all 4 LEDs flash on the control card inside the pc as expected bt when loading a job all 4 LEDs flash in turn bt then no movement from the head?

2, Also when powering up the pc i have LEDs on the DSP cards stay on constant, not come on at all, flash at a different rate to the rest of the the LEDs

I can usually get the machine going but can take over an hour sometimes by the time iv powered the whole thing down and back up again (iv currently done atleast 10 power cycles this morning and still nothing) I have replaced DSP cards that i have found to be faulty and this cured the problem mainly but it seems to be getting worse rarther than better, also it can be random as to which DSP card hangs. Things also seem to improve after the machine has been sat doing nothing for a few days.

Any help welcome

I no this is a long shot being as the machines are quiet old nowadays but does anyone know of anybody that services these machines. I have managed to correct most problems but somethings are just beyond me

Does anybody have any dimensions for the O-rings on the placement head or has anybody had to replace these before and could recommend where to get them from. I have noticed this is very critical to the vacuum seal on also the picking up of the tools.

Thanks in advance as i'm sure somebody will be able to help

I am trying to access the calibration menu but all options are blanked out apart from the tool position, does anybody know how i can access the other options or am i stuck? I have the username and password and enter them but still i only get the tool position option. Any help much appreciated

On returning to my machine after the bank holiday after trying to open the job film in RV place i received an error message saying "Less the 2 References in Job" Has anybody ever seen this messages before? Also upon trying to find the root of the error i tried to open the same job in RV setup and when opening up the feeder allocation i get an error message saying "Incomplete Job" i only ran the job a few days ago and everything was fine. Has anybody else ever come across this problem? Has the file just become corrupt?

Regards Luke

I am having trouble with my RV4s machine powering up, when i turn the PC on the 4 lights on the card inside should flash together, right? The problem im having is the LED on the card closest to the back of the PC hangs and then flashes in a different sequence. Any ideas what this could mean?

Also after letting the PC boot up i wait power the RV4s bt nothing happens and i just get a series of "Write readnotbusy error" messages untill im told to correct the fault and restart the machine at witch point the arm will sometimes jerk backwards. Power cycling the PC and machine sometimes corrects the fault but as you can imagine this is a bit of a pain and does not always work. Any ideas to my problem would be much appreciated
