Anyone out there with first hand experience with the Advantis platform and more specifically with the lightning head? How is the speed/accuracy/software? Thanks!!

The Lightning Head on an Advantis Platform is a good choice. You should expect to see "Real Life" speeds around 20K, better accuracy than any Turret Style Machine, and the software is the same as any GSM,Genesis,Advantis machine using a Windows platf

Do you have any advice on preventive maintanance? Universal does not call for much. We have the machine running now. It is incredible for a $150K machine. We have had no maint issues but I want to make sure it stays running the way it is. I have visi

In search of my ultimate chip shooter I need a machine faster than 2 universal instruments lightning heads. I am aware Fuji has a turret head and Yamaha. Are they as reliable/fast as the lightning head? Who else makes turret heads?

We have 2 lightning head machines. We have a very clean, dry air supply. We have had zero spindle problems in 3 yrs.

Genesis should work with pneumatic feeders, but not if Lightning heads are used. It's basically 24V transformer and some wires and fuses - you can do this "upgrade" by yourself, actually. Regarding cal. kit - it's the same as for GSM's but, again, no

So far, So good! We are currently standardizing the Lightning Head Advantis as our chip-shooter. We only place chip packages, 0201-1206 with the Lightning Head and everything runs great. We performed qualification testing with components up to 20mm

Universal has been producing Lightning pick and place heads for some years now. How are these heads performing these days? Speed, component range, reliability. Who has worked with them?
