Changing the pitch on the newer feeders is a little bit different and involves adjusting the location of a sensor. Where we lose the parts is at change-over. There are some reels that we might put on and take off a feeder 20 times before the reel is

Stephen- I'm not sure since I'm having trouble understanding your post whether you are knocking my post or not. If you did intend some sort of slight than let me clarify your concerns: 1) Claude is not using an MPA-G3 so H.D. is out. 2) I've used P
