Quad4C's have their moments. If the price is right and you are aware of the machines limitations then you will be satisfied. The placement rate is slow, 1.2 seconds/chip. Don't buy any Quad if it has the CyberOptics Laser unit, the Quadalign unit is

We do a lot of low volume prototypes and several boards that have have cut outs or fixtures that dont always reliably stop squarely at the in carrier (beveled corners). This sometimes results in a fid read error, because the fid wont be in the search

Yes, the Quad IV C machines look like they have been picked for parts. Obviously, same for the CP45FV. The QSA30 machines LOOK to be in better shape, but I could be wrong. Jon

There is a fairly recent one. And all the conculsions need things you don't have. Buddy loading - so one person loading one verifying everything. Barcodes - gets rid of people misreading labels mixing up 4k7 with 47K or nbot seeing a decimal point o

Our MY12 is having trouble picking both out of feeders and the TEX using the MIDAS head. The nozzle (spring or rigid) will go down and touch the part but won't pick it up. I get a Level too high error - the pick location isn't obstructed, part isn't

Thanks for the comments. Tech-support is one the big savings we think we can make and the customer will have to install the machine themselves - we will make a comprehensive series of videos and tutorials. Calibration will be semi-automatic and the

I like what you're doing. 20 years ago anyone, hobbyists and tiny garage-shop companies could create electronics devices just as sophisticated and cool as big corporations. Today, SMT has largely trashed the creativity (and competition) that existe

I am looking at buying a pick and place machine to assemble the circuit boards we make. Most of the boards are small (2 to 10 square inches), most are 2 sided, and have maybe 20-50 parts per side. I use mostly 0805/0603 chips, SOT-23, SOD-123, SOIC

Hey everybody! So my Quad 4000c has been acting funny lately. When it goes to dumb a rejected part into the dump bucket it doesn't actually drop the component. This results in it trying to pick up another part with the previous part still on the nozz

Hi! I have a Quad IVc pick and place that runs dos. The GUI computer is a compaq prolinea 4/33s. The hard drive went stupid mode and now wont respond. I have all of the data backed up. I tried transferring the files to a fairly modern hard drive (20g
