I need help on a Quad IVC. We are having intermitant problems. What happens is it runs and then all of a sudden the Z goes down into the feeder past the limit. I have changed the Z motor, cleared the memory, and also swapped motion controller boards. It works for awhile and then back to the same problem. I also do a function 30 and it runs for a little while longer. But each time I do a function 30 I get a different Z height anywhere from 140 to 250. If anyone has seen this problem please let me know. Thanks much.

Changed the one from the head board, but no luck. Just wondering if it could be the Quad Align Cable?

I would change the Quad Align cable. If you have a spare head board swap that out as well. Make sure your Quad Align lenses are clean. If the camera is smudged then you can have some problems aligning parts as well. Let us know what you find. Cheers.

I changed both cables and still the same thing. I have not changed the quad align cable yet. Any other ideas. Also when I do a run pickup 1 it works normal but when I am in run mode forget it, the z-rod now dont even go all the way down.

i agree with changing the head board if the ribbon cables have been changed. I would also check the quad align card and make sure the cables are plugged in tight to it and to the backplane. There is a large connector on the backplane that sometimes falls out

good luck
