Just a quick easy question. What is the largest image size that you can have in a 29 inch stencil? In other words, how close to the ID of the stencil can the image get? I'm sure I knew this at one time but the memory is not what it used to be! Th

Hi Steve, Depends where you are in the world too - if in the UK I would go for the Topaz - easier to program & use than the GSM2, if not as good a machine. However there's a lot of 3rd party Quad support if you're in the states.

One last question, can the FLX2011 pick up a negative fiducial, ie. a plated through hole? Some of my boards do not have traditional fiducials, so I pick up the location of a couple mointing holes. (It didn't address this in the documents.) Thanks

Spoilt, OK, a good point in your message, what good is a machine with 15 mm component height capability if there are no feeders that support that tall a component! I hadn't thought about that aspect! (My Philips CSM84 is limited to 6.5 mm, and I r

WOW, thanks for the documents, this will REALLY help selection. It looks like I want the FLX2011CV, that makes it a lot easier to set up and not have to reach into the machine to load and unload boards. The machine footprint is really compact, 10 m

I certainly can on the Paraquda and I suspect the basic algorithms are the same. Slimmer annular rings such as you might get on a plated via hole don't always image quite as well but if for some reason it doesn't pick it up you should be able to inte

Yeah my issue with the CLM945 type single slot feeders used for parts over 6mm is they index forwards using a tiny servo attached to some gears that pull on the cover tape. A system that begs to fail, the tape can stretch, the gears can start grabbin

I would specifically look at the FLX2011 models with a V for vision (they otherwise come with Cyberoptics laser alignment as standard, although that would also work if you are not inspecting BGA balls). They come with software that I think is called

Hi, MYDATA's are ok for lower volume, and they are very flexible. If you only have 1 or 2 trays of components and are on a tight budget, then you can even place the trays on the Y wagon behind the PCB so you can get away without the tray wagon. Al
