We have the same problems with cut/tape parts. But, we specialize in short-run prototypes, so I don't have much of a choice but to deal with it, and find a way to make it as easy as possible. We just demo'd a splice tool from Sierra Electronics (ww

On our Mydata machine, we place a piece of scrap bare pcb next to the pcb we are loading. Using double sided tape, we attach the cut tape strip to the bare pcb, then program the machine to pick up the parts from that location. The smallest Mydata m

You can use cut tape on Mydata machines fairly easily. We are a high mix, low volume manufacturer who has to use cut tape often as that is what our EMS customers provide. It is does take more time to load/unload than a reel does so you need to fi

Hi All, Has anyone seen or used equipment that is capable of automating the process of attaching hookup wire directly to a large SMT pad? Soldering, ultrasonic? I'm looking to see if there is a machine that is capable of automatically taking a tef

Here are some of the problems (and my pet peeves) that can be found during a machine set-up. I have run into each of these many times over the years. Wrong part value: This can usually be traced to a purchasing, incoming inspection, or kitting mist

I am currently having a problem with uncut legs on one side of axial components from a universal dual head insertion machine. Initially it was thought that the anvil on one side was engaging slow so I stripped down and changed the seals in the botto

MyData machines are probably your best choice for low volume/high mix applications. Change over times can be minimal when you are loading your extra magazines/feeders for the next job while the previous job is running on the machine. Component plac

Save your money. I tried to buy one for a G3 before, had one actually shipped in, and had to return it because it didn't fit the machine. Some other options: 1) buy a tape and reel machine cost you about $10K, but then you have control over
