A couple of things.. 1) The problem is more than likely on the magazine board itself (TC2), most likely the pal chip that stores the serial number and feeder information (you could swap this with a working magazine to verify) 2) The magazine connecto

How reliable are TM feeders for 0402 placements? I have a board with 2000+ 0402s that I need to run daily. I don't need agilis feeders for change overs as we use less than 50 feeders total.

Ultimately you are trying to deal with technology that is 25+ years old. The Hydras and TM magazines of these days were not robust and functioned mediocre at best when they were brand new. Even if you use Agilis feeders the nozzles and the cameras ar

Thanks, what about the newer agilis feeders? Fully agree one 0402 missing and its a train wreck.

I have very limited experience with agilis but I know they use them currently. I am definitely not a fan of the older Hydra heads. There were many problems with them mechanically and with the camera.

The Agilis feeders are much more reliable than the old TM feeders. You can tweak the TMs a little bit, but, it can be a pain. Agilis have better repeatability, and built in y axis correction for 0402 and smaller parts. On the newer machines (My se

Hi JEM, We just made the very same upgrade you are looking to make on three machines. We purchased a new MY12 and upgraded our other three (My9 W/hydra, My9 No Hydra, and TP9-2U) from 2.2.4C to 2.4.4c. There are several changes and most of the

Indeed, back in 2010 or so I had quotes for a MY100 with a Hydra head,as part of that I did get them to run a theoretical build time for one of our own boards. That came back @ just under 7k cph, it was a pretty sensible board with a nice range of th
