the jaws are not for electrical testing do to being two solid stainless steel pieces. i dont really have any issues with 0402's, i got them placing good. its the 0201's that are a pain. attached is a picture of the centering jaws for you to see.

we are currently running 0201 components using the c-14 tool on the my9 pick and place and are having a lot of missing components with in the PCB's. is anyone or has anyone had this problem? if so, were you able to finf a fix for it?

Found a company that builds modified tool tips for my9 with stainless steel tip. we are going to try one and seen if it helps on placing the 0201 components. the rubber tip just gets damaged too easy and components stick to it do the solder flux.

Louie, We'd be interested in your experience with the stainless centering jaws. We just ran a job with heavy 0402 placements, and had a rough time with it. After much work on the package, magazine centering, etc, I've concluded the issue is the ce

I doubt that you will gain any advantage from stainless jaws. I think the stock jaws have beryllium inserts in them. I am pretty sure beryllium is harder than SS. Maybe stainless jaws with carbide inserts in them would work better ? Or what about c

you can use whatever you prefer, but they work just fine for us. have not had any problems with 0402 parts anymore, and get more use out of them than the stock jaws. we dont have to replace them as often, and seem to center just fine, and mager diffe

well there you go. I found that trying different values in the "Placing Stroke" had a big effect. I changed it to 2mm and it placed them well, but I could see the board also flexing a little, went to 1mm and the problem came back, so have sat in th
