Hello Alan! We have used both chipshooters, we also have a Mydata with the hydra head... We switched entirely from Fuji CP7 to the UIC HSP4796 and now HSP4797. The CP7 is a nice machine but we were very unhappy with the support structure within Fu

Yes to all of the above with the exception of the part sticking. The same parts are EASILY picked using the 4790/91 feeders on a 4790/91 machine. The new feeders just flip the part out when the feeder advances. Thanks! Lee

I've been struggling with this problem for a while. We have two products: A, which is Ok and B, with tombstone defect (0603 & 0805 capacitor chips). A & B have the same design: pad sizes, separation between pads, components orientation. Both have s

Also CP-7's have that feeder carriage quick change option which allows you to pull out the whole feeder carriage via a quick change cart and replace it with another one.

Not to mention the costs of FCM based machines. $1.2 million USD for an FCM-2 with 100 feeders was the price a year ago. Now that's expensive floor space!

On the new 4797 T12W8P feeders we are having trouble picking the very thin chip resistors. Adding foam to the feeder (beneath the pick point) helps, but it only minimizes our frustration. Universal has a reel of these parts and they are looking into

We have an HSP 4796, if the feeder mechanism is the same, this may help you a bit. First make sure that the componet definition is right on the component library. Tape or Embossed. Second, the component thickness vs actual thickness. Is the pick u

Hi Grant, you have 2 good machines there. Thing to remember: Fuji machines need an external controller to run (Fuji cam or Flexa), you will have to buy that (extra cost). HSP have is own firmware include. HSP can do pick-up correction both in X and Y

Hello All, we have 2 CP842 on site and they are running simply perfect. We used our existing CP feeders (with the small reel holder). CP843 can compensate pick-up both in X and Y direction. also measuring the height of the part with a laser sensor.

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Couple of other things to consider: 1) Are both machines similar in price? 2) CP-6 feeders will work on a CP-7 although the larger pans need to be changed. Used CP-6 feeders go for about $175 on av
