You can try to see if GPAK could help you. They make custom tapes and feeders. I have never used them, but they have some interesting video clips on their site.

I would check the clearance between the bottom guide and the carrier clip. Usually I set it .004 below the clop then set the head height .004 above the guide. It's a little tighter than UIC specs but it'll prevent the lead better.

My recollection is that there is a carrier clip locator that positions (centers) the clip in front of the CTA. Has the adjustment on that been confirmed as well? (Edited because some of it's coming back to me!): I think there is a diamond shaped pin

Wow. Never have, never would, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done. Mostly it just seems impossible to design a carrier clip that could hold both well...more likely it would hold one well and the other poorly, or both poorly. Anyway, is there

Steve, all the worn carrier clips (chipped, spring less or damages, etc.)have been changed for working ones. Alignment has been performed to loser and afterward thighter tolerances than the manual recommend to see if it changes anything (no). I check

I am currently placing LED's with a RAD 5 machine and developed cutting problems with a specific LED. I am not having problems with other similiar LED's where only the color is different. After dispensing to the clip all is well. After going through

Hello all, we are about to modify a Universal Radial 5 so the machine will be able to insert radial components with lead pitch 3.5mm and 5mm. The 3.5mm components are ELCOs which are getting inserted all the way to the component body so they sit fi

Manufacturing already tried to get a design change but no chance. I guess because the designer is afraid the components could get bent too much if they are mounted with a stand off. Of course everyone who has to manufacture this fist sais: why don't

I forget which type of CTA that machine has so I probably won't be much help. It's been ages since I worked on them but it doesn't look like you'll find many people that have. That said, usually if you get things aligned properly and it still bends

Would you happen to have the Jig used to check that the component itself is in spec with UIC's general specifications? 1.) Component in spec. 2.) Correct 2.5mm pusher on the feeder / dispense head. Also set the conditioner guide where the comp enter
