That is true. But maybe for discreets in paper tape where the bulk of your partially used reels is it may be helpful. The rest you can guestimate. Not very good of course. As a placement machine manufacturer I agree every machine should have real

Hi, Great, and thanks for the info. I will check it out. It's true lead times are long for large reels, but it's worth it when running. We have much faster machines now, but if we are sopped replacing reels all the time, it cuts into up time in a

Thank you all for your feedback. While the new smart reel towers are the ideal, we simply cannot afford them or better pnp equipment at this time. However for the short term, probably putting colored stickers on the reel edge folded over so it is vis

The best way is to have proper system in place that shows which reel is stored where. Now mycronic, juki, fuji and more have these towers(MSD), where you can keep your parts in. It is a very elegant solution with a beautiful software that tells you w
