Sorry Rob, FCM-1: first machines around 1990 FCM-2: first machines around 1996 FCM Multiflex: I think it was 2001? AX: about 1.5 years now But indeed, let's finish it: the entire discussion drifted a bit away from the initial question. I just get a

Agreed that the FCM has been the choice in the past...but have you seen the 4797S HSP (TCM X100)? Usually (2) 4797S's can replace (1) FCM for about the same purchase price, and only a slighly larger footprint (consider the cost of ownership as well..

I heard from a second hand source that the heads required calibrating reqularly and to do that they needed to be sent to the manufacturers. I also heard that they were fairly unstable and broke down alot. All these were not from first hand experian

I am sure the QP-132 is a more stable platform. It is a Fuki after all. My big question is why not X2 CP-6 machines. I mean you can tell by resale value of the FCM Vs the QP-132 that the QP-132 is a rock solid machine but, for such cheap money two CP

Dear Sir, I do not want to mix in this "subjective" discussion but as an employee of Assembl�on (buider of FCM II, FCM multiflex 50, 75, 100) I can provide you with MTTR, MTBF, placement data (0201), software, and other (also customer) data on our e

Vinit- The name's Rick by the way. Probably best to stay in the new equipment business as your knowledge of used prices is a bit out of whack. First of all you could buy (2) CP4-1's new for what and FCM went for new. Second CP-4's are selling for ar

Does Fuji even make the QP-132 anymore? I have not seen it at Apex for the past 2-3 years. This "inflexible" dinosaur was a commercial disaster for Fuji. Philips/Assembleon has sold countless more FCM than Fuji QP-132. The problem with both machines

You're correct Rob. If you go back any amount of time in this business like it sounds you have (and I know I have), it wasn't that long ago that companies like Philips and Seimens were way behind everyone else, (Fuji and Pana) when it came to buildin

Hi, I have loads of experience with QP132's. You can change over product quite easily depending on a few things: - � The board sizes should be the same otherwise pallet adjustment can take an hour or so. � If you can fit all the feeders on one set-u

Lot's of good discussion in this string...but I think we've missed a few points. First off...turret machines are more than capable of handling the smaller component sizes (in fact, they are the best)...Machines like the SANYO TCM-3000 or Universal 47
