Thinking about converting to GC60's and GI14 machines. Do any of you have opinions as to how good the machines really are?

I'm looking for any information on the Samsung SM421 regarding BGA placement. We currently have a Universal GSM (circa 2004) GI-14 and we are approaching software limitations on multi-pitch BGAs. Any additional information about the SM421 capabilit

Thanks for responding. Which one do you like better GI14 or GC60? I agree with you that VRM motors are better.

@Reckless on GI14 machine, we have around 90k picks per week. About maintenance I rly can not say, since I'm head of programming and not maintenance. But as far as I know GI14 is rly complex just as @Comatose said, but it is much different then GC6

1 million picks a week is the highest figure I have heard. The lightning head is SMT poetry in motion. I do hope to get one someday, not sure how bad maintenance is on one of them. I have a 2004 GI-14D with 2 flexjet3 heads with 50 million picks

Well it's hard to compare these 2 machines. GC60 is chip shooter with high throughput, and GI14 is for more complex component, especially in our case, we use it with Magellan camera on one side for big and complex components. Just as any other manuf

Poly, I've seen the same error occur with our GI-14 when the glass scale encoder is simply dirty. If you bought the machines used, they could have been stored in fairly dirty environment. Just clean the glass scale. (use caution). We use lint free cl

Thank you for your response. I'm new to SMT so I am constantly learning. Unfortunately have not come across books that go in detail about these issues (if I ever get time I might write one). I have an older universal gi-14d (7 spindle head, dual g
