As part of the evolution, electronic feeder has a lot of advantages - precision, programming and speed. If you build low volume easy boards you can probably stick with the mechanical feeders. For challenge and volume, I would suggest you move on to t

What are the advantages and disadvantages of inteligent feeder and mechanical feeders. Could you please through some light on this. Regards, Krishnakumar

Hi pete, We have being using the 8mm agilis feeder for nearly 12 months now, and contary to what you are finding the great advantage of this Mydata feeder system is that we loose very few components, you need no lead in etc. ( compared to other mach

Sounds like Mydata might be one you could look at, for example. I don't have experience with them but they do have "smart" feeder capability. Some machines use electronically controlled and motor driven feeders, some use pneumatic and/or mechanicall

As mentioned, there are many ways to achieve a quick changeover. Every manufacturing environment is somewhat different..but here's a few ideas for you to consider 1. If you have lots of feeder space on a machine you can have several simultaneous se

I would also like to add some more features of Assembleon XII platform. You had mentined that you already have GSM machine whose feeders could be used if you buy a new GSM machine. Assembleon XII machines such as Opal XII, can use GSM feeders as we

We are currently NOT using bulk, even though we looked into as a means of reducing machine time and component cost. Unfortunately, since bulk cassettes did NOT take the industry by storm as it was predicted years ago, we were stuck with long lead ti

I'd be tempted to say you buy whatever is most consistent with what you paid for the rest of the machine.... And if you can source Chinese copies& they aren't expensive it can't hurt to try a few. More generally (I don't know how these particluar ma

A pattern emerges, but really I think it means plan/optimise for your day/week not a single job. Our machine uses 10's, this means there's a significant chunk of the feeder that is not easily accessible if something like a brass shim gets stuck or f

I respect your statements about the FCM-I but only partially. Yes it was meant for ONLY HIGH VOLUMES, but in those cases, it has proved to be a masterpeice. Talk to those who've used the machines for 70000 hours or so. I have customers here that're u
