Paul, Unfortunately the Mydata site is set up in such a way that I cannot send a link. If you are a Mydata customer, call them and ask them to send you the article via e-mail.(Instead of waiting on Sweden to send you a login) The timing can cause pi

We have recently started building assemblies containing 0402 components (argggg!!). Were using the TM8FC magazines and are seeing alot of miss-picks on the 0402 components. When the feeder advances the part, the part can; jump out of the tape, or tur

I don't know about the TM8FC magazines but the Agilis magazines allow you to slow down the tape advancement speed. If you can, slow down the tape advancement on the TM8FC.

SrTech, Thanks for popping in. Your MyData advice has always been good. Anyway, all of our TM8FC's do have the correct seperators. So nix that. I thought the timing only had to do with advancing and stopping the component into the pick line correctl

JMills, The white clip that I refer to is for the Agilis feeder system. The actual clips (feeders) are color coded. As far as the timing on the TM8's, I received a proceedure from Mydata several years ago but had reverted to submitting the feeder ba

Do you have a login for the support section on the Mydata website ? If not, get one. Click on MYtech, then click the article named: "Simple feeder care reduces reject rate! The component separator spring" We run alot of 0402's on the TM8FC mags wit

Thanks for the info Chris, I'll check into your suggestions. We seem to be having the problem with all/most of the TM8FC magazines. I'm looking for a common denominator. Has any one ever experienced static electricity on the cover tape causing the c

My company also uses the TM8C (all feeders) with the same problem as Paul. The 0402's do exactly the same as he desribes.The SMT operators are correcting the placement data all the time when using 0402 but to no avail. Chris What do you mean by the

The recommended feeder for 0402s and especially 0201s is the green feeder with a 3.7mm spec. We use greens for 0402/0201, white for 0603, yellow for 0805s, and reds for tantalums. They work well, but sometimes you seem to get difficult tape. I hav

Good Morning Paul, We are using the linear magazines as well as the old style and are processing 0402 and 0201's. I do have to say that the Agilis magazines work much better for smaller parts. Just make sure that you have the correct size clip for t
