Hi: We started many years ago with totes on shelves 30 reels per side. Then we moved to 12" shelving with reel boxes. 5 reels per box. It was cheap and each was a single location. Great for finding and decrease cycle time in finding parts. Our wh

Hi, We used to use large reels of 0603 passives, but now we have moved to 0402 our supplier only has standard small reels. That's actually less components and we have to change the machine more often. Anyone know any supplier that has the very larg

I have an Electrolytic capacitor which is 17mm in diameter and is 16.7mm in height. It is presented in a reel,44mm x 24mm. I want to know if there is a suitable feeder available to place this part onto a Fuji IP3. Thanks, Alan.

Hi, Great, and thanks for the info. I will check it out. It's true lead times are long for large reels, but it's worth it when running. We have much faster machines now, but if we are sopped replacing reels all the time, it cuts into up time in a

Hi Grant, What sort of volume of 0402 resistors are you using - I may know someone who would put them on the larger reels.

Hi, We are using well over half a million a month, so it's not as much as the bug guys, but we really need them from the manufacture direct. I think we have found some, and wow can you get a lot of passives on a 13 inch reel! Regards, Grant

Hi Grant, Murata do 0402 chip caps on 50K reels - example: GRM1555C1H101JZ01J 0402, 100pf, NPO/C0G 50V 5% (make sure the final letter is included - the J denotes the reel size - D is standard 10K) Rohm MCR01 series (0402 resistors) come on 6inch, 1

cap and resistor Parts are cheap! $10 vs. $20 or so? If you are worried about inventory cost than only buy your top 10 or so runners in the large reels. I am a big fan of large reels for the high running caps and Resistors.

Does anyone have a better way of holding large reels for the Mycronics machine? The arms are quite expensive so I currently use an ESD bin with a rod in the middle. It's kind of a pain when you need to change a reel. I saw a really cool bin, but the
