Hey Mike- We ran into the same thing when we purchased a Large CanadianManufacturers repair business. We were creative and first used an ESD bag cut open (Simulate the paper idea) then we used a 3M parts bin and would tip it on its corner to funnel t

Does anyone know of fully automatic pick and place machines that can pick up parts either from small pieces of cut tape (i.e. 0402's, 0603's, SOT's) or components loosely arranged on a tray (not ic's that are in matrix trays)? Application is proto

You can use cut tape on Mydata machines fairly easily. We are a high mix, low volume manufacturer who has to use cut tape often as that is what our EMS customers provide. It is does take more time to load/unload than a reel does so you need to fi

Thanks for the info. On the Mydata do you position the cut tape inside a feeder or place it on a tray of some sort? Here the environment is OEM R&D lab so a Mydata would be overkill in terms of size and cost. I was thinking of a smaller auto pick

So far this is what I found and have not had any problems since. There was a big chunk of the belt torn halfway off and I had to cut part of it. Also there was a connector loose on one of the boards. Thanks for all of your advice.

I worked for a company that did fast change overs with Panasonic machines. We also had dedicated feeders that never came off the machine. But even with over 100 different dedicated parts most set-ups still had 30 or more parts to load. All feeders w
