We are placing a load of thin quad flatpacks 10x10x1 in waffle trays. We made an 8 x 8 tray and set the 1st and 2nd refs, but the picking gets progressively more offset the further we get from the refs. The x and y pitch for the waffle tray when we 'made' it is spot on, so i am wondering if the machine software for the waffle tray is limited to a specific size or a specific number of y direction 'lanes'.

If we set up each individual position bias (64 of them !) then it picks spot on, but then we need to fit in the next tray 

Anyone experienced this?

Hi all,

I am looking for a couple of 24mm feeders (ie 3 x 24 / 2 x . Any condition - working or not working.

Tks

We had a little problem on placing variations on a multi biscuit v scored board. Although the placement was spot on on the first biscuit, it progressively got worse as the machine placed parts on each progressively distant biscuit from the first.

On going over some old notes that i made 10 to 15 years ago when getting some training from DC, i came across this note for step and repeat boards. "Try just using the first fiducial point only - step and repeat compounds any errors".

We have not tried this approach, just wondered if anyone else had some success with it?

The quick fix for us was to make a dedicated jig that held the board in its index holes and gave us a few thou board to board positional repeatability and turned the fiducial correction off. Not an elegant solution though.

Cheers
