OK, so I think I have figured out the machine configuration for tape feeders. BTW, your procedure for retrieving the X/Y/Z coordinates for the pickup locations was wrong. So I looked it up in the Quad manual. The manual was wrong too. Correct procedu

Kevin, There are a number of custom integrated systems that perform automated insertion of "odd" components. These system use either a robot or cantilevered X,Y,Z Cartesian motion systems. Our systems have accepted standard and custom component feede

We had several 4c's before we put them out to pasture. From my experience they are easy to make program adjustments, but like the previous person responded the auto programmer did not work for us. We had laser coplanarity check as an addition to th

I've never seen one but i've been told that there is a 2 tier vib plate where the top plate is set back a bit so that the nozzle can pick from the top and bottom plate. OK so you have the plates on the machine and have entered their coordinates. Cl

Pete C We do bake our tray parts. I am familiar with the ipc specs. The problem is for example: a level 4 component can only be out a total of 72 hrs before rebake is required. If this is a tube or reel part, the 125c bake temp that is recommended wi

Moisture has done this to me in the past. Try baking a few QFPs first and then place and reflow. I had to remove them from the tape and reel and place them from a tray - but it was moisture related.

Problem: A SMT fine pitch or BGA component needs to be baked due to MS concerns and is needed in a hurry. In some cases the packaging will not allow a high temp/short duration bake. Production will not allow a low temp/long duration bake. If the part

The recommended bake temperature for components in Tape and Reel is 40C. If you use a bake temperature higher than that, the cover tape and other elements of the packaging will degrade to the point that it becomes impossible to reliably use an automa

I did see the Amistar at NEPCON Texas and it appears to be a fine machine. The multi-heads and vision-on-the-fly is nice. Feeder capacity seems to be a concern, though. Ibelieve it holds 120 8mm feeders and if you purchase a tray sequencer, it takes
