Bulk parts cassettes... another idea that must have looked good at the time. Too bad the manufacturing trend went from low mix / high volume to high mix / low volume. I guess the feeders have to be too complex to feed the part properly to the machine

gregp Your question started out asking about the advantages of bulk feeding. Based on the discussion it all comes down to costs. I offer another perspective that I believe is extremely relevant. Any advantage in manufacturing has to come down to

Your points are all valid. This is probably a service that the component distributers should provide. The reason I am harping on this issue is because I beleive is is possible to add several hundred part numbers to your pick and place on line inven

We are currently NOT using bulk, even though we looked into as a means of reducing machine time and component cost. Unfortunately, since bulk cassettes did NOT take the industry by storm as it was predicted years ago, we were stuck with long lead ti

I think you just answered a questioned that I never thought to ask. Are bulk parts manufactured differently than standard tape and reel parts? That would explain why there is a bigger price difference in parts from Murata and not from others. As I

So, to really get reliable pickup rates from new bulk feeders, I just need to replace all the chip shooters we have with more recent ones with pickup correction capability. So where is the saving? ;-) -Upside down resistors? not an issue. so what if

If it takes an extra step, then it is costing my company money to pay that person to do that task. Besides, I prefer to keep the stock personnel busy counting reels from shipments and preparing kits for the production floor. Kind of sounds like buy

Q1: Are the markings on resistors the actual value? A1: Generally, resistor marking indicates the value of the device, where the first two digits are the value and the third digit is the multiplier. Q2: Do AOI machines look for these markings or do

We have some high runners (components) that are available in bulk and some that are not. It would only help part of the issue. Cost was only a marginal difference, and we were told by the supplier that it was because bulk just hasn't caught on like

Hello All, I heard much abt SMT bulk feeding for 0603CR, 1005CR on SMT machines. My question is there any manufacturer actually running mass production on bulk feeding (0603 & 1005CR)?? Any glitches?? Pls provide me with any info regarding bulk f
