I just received replacement XWB3 and 3PT1 boards. I swapped them out and it seems to have fixed that issue. Thank you all for the help!

Hi SMT Frog We are using an upgraded Mydata TP9-1 system to place 0402s. We do an electrical test plus mechanical centering and use the C14 tool. A few things we have observed/learned: 1) Is the machine not picking the part up out of the tape? Po

I'm at 6800 ft. The only issue I had was related to a PEM nut that was not packaged properly. There was a piece of K@pton tape that was not centered on the part and the tape would stick to the carrier. The vacuum on my machine would not allow me to

Fastek, i believe your right something manual or semi will work great... don't waste time or money buying that fully auto printer, they all do that same Sh&t... i have 2 TP-11 and think you should be ok placing the 0402 using the C14 tool and mechani

We have placed millions of DPAKS on our Mydatas without issues. Usually the crosshairs need to be just slightly to the right of the dimple when trimming. We do not use high centering force. Please tell us exactly what the error message is.

I agree avalancher. Your description is a valid point. But, I am still under the impression that the vac level is a separate issue. His original problem was 0402's missing off the board ,and weird measurements showing up when parts get rejected. I w

Check to see if there's a loose cable, or something, that's randomly setting off the light curtain. We occasionally have that problem with some of our flex or 12/16 mags in our TP9, where the tape take up clip is loose (nothing in that feeder) and i
