Contact Systems cs400e It's a semiautomatic thru hole machine that incorporates hand placement with a machine cut and clinch, was (probably still is) the benchmark in the industry.

Dilbert is correct. The CS-400E machine is the machine of choice. The component insertions are light guided, the components are automatically presented to the operator and the leads are automatically cut and clinched at programmable lead length and

Universal Sequencer, VCD, Radial, or Unimod(DIP installer) machines! We only still have and run our Universal/Berg pinning machine. I can't say they will work any better than humans do as humans will have to run and maintain them though. We did get g

Hi Dave, The short answer is "it doesn't". The mascot is simply a light guided assembly system. The major difference is the CS-400E machine has the fully programmable cut and clinch unit doing it's thing under the board while it is being assembled.

Good Morning jobbie, We have several Mydata lines. We are building low volume high mix as well. Our CPH had been identified as approximately 6000-8000 CPH depending on the application of course. We do have a separate setup area however that stages a

It sounds like you are getting CPH numbers without taking into acount Machine utilization and efficiency. By doing that you can overlook what the real problems are. First find your utilization numbers... available machine run time with respect to th

Hi, One think we always hated when running MYDATA was the vib feeder, and we had no end of problems. The supplier told us most people angled the component tubes up, however then the vib settings change between when the tubes full, and mostly empty.

Hi everyone, New to the forum and have a question. How many cph are others getting? We are small sub-contract firm and are running Mydata my12 with hydra, but not agilis feeders. We tend to do small batches (upto 100 circuits), high mix from 0402 to

Hi jax Have checked actual assemby time against machine up time and have a figure of 5440cph which seems to be ok from what others are saying. Its just the utilization that i need to sort but this is difficult with the resources/restrictions that i
