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

The separation clip part number for a TM8 and a TM8C are different. The TM8FC clip is longer so it will cover the component before the one being picked.

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.

Hi We are looking on buying a used MY19. When comparing, the TPSYS version seems to be a major thing. What is TPSYS? Firmware? OS Version? How much does a TPsys upgrade cost? Is it something I can do? Can TM8 feeders handle 0402 reliably? I saw th

Travis, Thanks, but there is no adjustments (software or hardware) for tape advancement on the TM8FC magazines. Got a hold of the feeder documents from Mydata that Sr.Tech was talking about. I'll try there suggestions. Thanks

Are the TM feeders ok for parts bigger than 0402? No major loss? The mydata machines I am looking at seem to have pretty high mispicks compared to other solutions on the counter.

Thanks för the reply. I can't find any info on any feeders/magazines except for the Agillis. What is the difference between tm8,tm8c and tm8fc? Tried to search for Fp feeders also no luck. I've got an account on Myspace on mycronics. There's also

You can't do it. The pitch of the tape advancing sprocket is not the right pitch on a TM8 magazine. You need a TM8FC magazine.

TM8 Magazines step 4mm min. You need a TM8FC or Agilis. You can make a tray and pick from strips of tape too.

All the TM feeders are obsolete. So, you won't find anything on them from Mycronic. The TM8FC is the one you want for 0402s.
