Consider: * Understanding the cost of change. * Buying every feeder ever made for your machine. * Buying �High-Mix Low-Volume Manufacturing� Mahoney, M; Pearson Education (Prentice Hall); 1997 [013255688X] offered by SMTA. * Searching the fine SMTnet

Thanks for the replies.With which ever machine we decide on the feeders with the most commonly used parts will stay on the machine. Also parts used on other jobs but not needed for the current one will be able to stay as well. The problem well run in

Since you are a HM/LV facility take a look at the feeder design. I noticed that the MyData feeders (that I have seen) peel back a lot of pockets before the pick, so when you change part numbers on the feeder there is a larger waste of components. O

You could alternatively look at it another way - the customer asked how quick it would be to change over 20-25 feeders. All of the above machines have the capacity to hold at least double this, so the question is can you run the orignal product, w

I would rather keep my Juki KE-2060. It runs faster, do larger boards, and can place a wider range of components when compared to the Opal. Also, I have trolleys on front and rear, without losing any feeder locations. Why can't you put trolleys on

The Juki 2060 can have both front and rear trolleys and you do not loose any feeder locations. My question was why can't the Assembleon put trolley on the rear? I recently visited a friend at a company that used a lot of Assembleon and compared run
