I have a Universal GSM1. I'm trying to add a new 6*16 matrix feeder. Does anyone know what the pickup X & Y refers to in the Pickup Information section. I've looked at an 8*20 and it says x=-38.5 , y=-28.3, but its not clear where it expects zero to

BTW GEB; When you put the feeder in the front bank did you pick the comps with Head #2 and from the feeder bank just opposite from the rear non working feeder bank? Did you make your feeder banks fixed or is it already that? It just hits me, if you

I have been working with GSMs since 1999. Mostly, I've been programming them but for the past 2 1/2 years or so I've also gotten to know them mechanically. I think they are great machines. If you are looking at Flex head GSMs (4-spindle) they won'

Make sure you get a good upward looking camera combo. 4.0 on rear and 2.6 for PTF (platform tray feeder) parts is my favorite. Easy to wrench on, calibrate (if you have a cal. kit), and easy to program. Single beam will run at 2000+ cph and dual b

I need info on loose pin vibratory feeders for Universal GSM. At this time we are presenting them in Matrix trays, and the cycle time is killing us. Any info on aftermarket Vibe feeder Companies would be great. Thanks JB

There is. I've done it. Can't remember how the heck to do it 100%, though! We no longer have GSM's and it was years ago so sorry I'm not much help but I'll try. I remember a couple details... I put clear or kapton tape on the part (sticky side u

Go with Universal. We had Fuji equipment for years. That is all but phased out now and we only are buying Universal. You cannot beat their service. The chip shooters are great. The only cons that I have dealt with is the learning curve on the n

We are in North Western U.S. I like 2.6 better (for our mix of builds, anyway). 1.0 works great on PTF parts such as fine pitch QFP's but I don't like it for chips. It's too picky and we wind up forcing parts to the 4.0. We have another GSM dual

I have been working with the UIC GSM platform for 6 years now in an EMS environment. Operating, programming, configuration, and line installation. I do not work for Universal or represent them in any way. UIC is a 1st rate company with excellent and

We've done some of this - paste in hole. O.K. success but really we prefer to do stuff on selective wave for best results. For your application, look at a high force head to place the snap in component. Additionally, you might find it more efficie
