"Better" means different things to different users. When we decided to upgrade I thought about a TP9 too but frankly it couldn't do much more than the Quads we already had. It just did it with a bigger footprint. We got a Topaz because we needed hi

the calibration error sounds like it is an electrical verifier issue. Are you testing parts before you place them? It could be that your centering electrodes are worn or dirty, or it could be the ribbon cables from the centering unit. If you are usin

I am not sure why you would have an issue placing a DFN with your TP-9. Is the machine throwing it away or mis-placing ? Throwing the part away could have several reasons and so could mis-placement.

| Has anyone experianced Core Dump errors with their MYDATA TP9? | My machine (2/96) has 26 million placements and my operators | have recorded 253 core dumps in 1996, 238 in 1997, and 18 in | January of 1998. We run one job on the machine, period.

Steve, Be careful with that TP-9.......... Mydata will support the machine (as long as you pay a registration fee, I believe), but no support for real old software versions. Make SURE it has at least software version 1.6 or above. If not, the magaz

Hi, I can give my opinion in this topic since I worked with both machines. To say the truth, I would recommend neither machine. First of all, operating software is much quite the same for both machines. The TP9 is true that has a larger footprint ov

It is always an enticing thing to watch high speed machines planting parts lickity split. We are a small shop doing experimental and short runs, and have been running our dear old Mydata TP9-2U for years. No repairs, never failed because we have alwa

We run a TP9 machine and had a very similar problem with it. On a TP9 machine there is a power supply board where all the voltages are generated. It is located on the bottom side of the unit. The problen was with one of the fuse holders. The co

Daniel, We'd recommend MyData's as good low foot print, short quantity machines. They have a good level of flexibility for the price and operation. Considering what you've described, an older used TP9 would suit you. I'll caution you, though, tha
