Dilbert is correct. The CS-400E machine is the machine of choice. The component insertions are light guided, the components are automatically presented to the operator and the leads are automatically cut and clinched at programmable lead length and

Hi Reese, Thanks for the feedback. So you have a fair amount of assemblies that are new designs with 10% through hole parts. Are these parts inserted manually? What is the soldering process?...wave solder?...selective solder? Do these components

How about Semi-Auto insertion. Only one type of machine needed to insert virtually any through hole components. The CS-400E was originally manufactured by Contact Systems and now Versatec is offering remanufactured systems...completely rebuilt to t

The Multitroniks 2000 series machine was not a Europlacer machine. It was designed and build by Multitroniks as an entry level machine and has a very basic simple design. It has very easy to use software and a very heavy stable platform but quality

Hi Dave, The short answer is "it doesn't". The mascot is simply a light guided assembly system. The major difference is the CS-400E machine has the fully programmable cut and clinch unit doing it's thing under the board while it is being assembled.

Hi Adam, Good question. I know I am seeking a lot of details. Here's the deal. Five years ago I acquired the assets of Contact Systems. Since then I have been re-manufacturing the CS-400E machine which if you are not familiar with is a light guid

So we all know through hole assembly hasn't been completely eradicated. I am doing some research as to the types of through hole assembly that still remain. My questions are related to through hole requirements and past, current and future methodol

Larry, The Quad is based on the Samsung - yes? If so, here are the final recommended answers from Samsung. All LM guides and bearings, ball splines and rack and pinion use Shell Alvania EP2. Sometimes called LF2. Sometimes called Albania. It's a dar

Your history is pretty good Dave although Multitroniks never had anything to do with Royonics. Multi was formerly Ragen who also made a light guided semi automatic PTH machine. They dabbled in SMT after changing their name to Multitroniks and takin

Interesting, see we used to do a large amount of PTH but we have been able to convert most of those parts to SMT now. the majority of our PTH is connectors. I am doing some research as to the types of through hole assembly that still remain.- This d
