Hi all, I have a question to the users of the Topaz Xi machine. We currently are placing the electric capacitor (10.5 high) on the Topaz Xi (erlier we cut the nozzles 74). So the machine picks the component and placed. But there is small problem. Du

It will be tough to get a good line for that cost. You might want to start by looking at Mydata and Juki for the machines. Ekra for the screen printer and Heller for the oven is where you might want to start. If you have not already you might want

Assuming you want to run 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, you need a sustained throughput of 2.5k components per hour. With fine pitch, futzing around, setup, etc you should really look for machines rated in the 4k to 5k per hour range. That's not sc

Yes, what you are thinking is correct. Assuming an 0805 capacitor parts that are picked from the front and back of the machine will be picked at 0 theta. Parts that are on the left or right will be picked at a 90 theta. This way they can all share th

Difference in pick height from paper and embossed reel (typically) is 0.2 mm. Try to change your pick height and place height (different type of capacitors have a different height: for 100 nF 0603 and for 4.7 uF 0603 it's a big difference!). Can you

We have difficulty in placing a trimmer capacitor chip using our Philips CSM 84 VIII pick and place machine. This Trimmer capacitor is supplied by Murata and its partno is TZBX4P300BA110T00 and value is 4.7~30 pf. While trying to place the componen

Hi All, I have a series of snap-in radial TH capacitors that I would like to place using a pick and place. Has anyone had any success using a universal platform machine? My thought is a custom vib feeder would present the parts just fine. Any feed

If you refer to having wrong resistor or capacitor value, the only way is to automatically measure the part value. Mycronic pick and Place machines do it on the fly, ASM machines have feeder where part is measured....other main brands probably have

Rich, From my experience, few causes of capacitor cracking are: - mechanical stress caused by pick'n place nozzles and chucks. Try to isolate and find cracked caps before boards go thru reflow or wavsoldering. - thermal stress by reflow pro

A mistake happened at our company before I got there where a wrong value was used, so now we have to check it with someone else to make sure the old empty reel is the same value as the new full reel. Some months after I started, I decided to check t
