Dennis, Not sure why your so secrative about what machine but I guess it doesn't matter. When you start placing 0402 & 0603 packages the difference between height and width and length gets lost in tolerance. This allows the machine to pass parts t

The part I'm having problem with is a simple 0805 resistor 0R the inspection is done optical not mechanical and 75% of the rejects rate has the message: one or too many bad leads found. and the other 25% the messages will give a Background or Contras

Peter, What cost per component are you dealing with of the lost components?

We are looking to buy a 2nd hand Europlacer p-n-p. We would be very grateful to have a real production competent opinion about EP feeders/trolleys Questions: 1. generally how good/bad are older (Gen1, Gen2) Europlacer feeders and trolleys systems

Yes, Rob, the database can be output to a text file. But you do not need to create new labels because the correct information is in the database. The original label on the reel contains the reel's unique ID which correlates to the database (the info

Thanks for the feedback guys. We have Fuji IP3's, so we can save all the reels and bottom tape too. Stick feeders are a nightmare. Lost production due to the long set up times of vibratory feeders is ridiculous. Also, pick up rate is inconsistant fro

Bernard, The problem we have is when unloading the feeder several components may be lost due to the partial peel back of he cover tape. This area I am referencing just passed the point of the knife to the pick area. Also matching the correct feeder

Tried and True is counting your components if there is any indication of loss... this is a great TOPIC... unfortunately there are many ways to lose components. Feeder setup,problems with a feeder while in the machine(IE mylar problems or wrong step)

Ken, We're talking pennies. Even though the cost of a reel would be cheaper than trying to account for lost components I have to come close in figuring this attrition amount. Reason being is to try and prevent unplanned shortages. I am in constant

This 10 - 20% loss, is it 20% of 10 parts or 10,000? How many parts are lost from a "Perfect feeder teardown"? For example our Samsung 8mm feeders lose 8 components on 4mm pitch every time the cover is released. So if we had an 8 piece run that re
