You could also try some of the 3D MID placement machines - some have dispense heads in with the placement heads, so theoretically you could place on the PCB paste, dispense on the terminals. and place the new part. Yamaha/I-Pulse do a couple: https:

Can you get away with 2 x 2ft with either a flex joiner or backplane type connectors to turn into a 4ft board? if you can get your panel down to that it means a lot more potential suppliers

Hi Vojtěch, Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it. Yes we have the same options, but if you want to pick from the alternative feeders at the same time you have to use different part numbers. If you want to pick from alternatives w

Hi Thomas, Yes, we are pretty good at feeder maintenance, we gang pick on our Yamaha/Assembleon kit with no issues. On one of our older machines (YV112-3/Sapphire) we pick 12 LEDs at once per side of the machine. On a couple of jobs we exceed the ma

Don't go down that route, Juki cut spares support a few years ago on these. Although bits are available from China, you do not want to be swapping used cards. They are both also dog slow in real life whatever you do to them. Especially a 760. We'r

I wouldn't, it's not a starter machine. OS2 and it's quite an accurate and complicated bit of kit to start with.

@ Sr.Tech, Most of our Chinese spares are Juki & Yamaha original & still bagged, just much cheaper. They wouldn't sell machines in China if all the spares and consumables were at European mark ups. Nozzle wise the Juki 750 & 760 copies are not 100%

@ Reckless, We installed one of our old GSM1's in a customer as a favour around 15 or 16 years ago, to use as a prototype machine. We spent 5 days there initially, 1 day set up, levelling and sorting out air and power issues, and 4 days teaching th

Fuji makes great machines, just depends on the local support If you are not doing anything special I'd probably just go with the I-pulses as you'll get a lot more machine for your money, and have some left over for inline AOI/SPI or look at somethin

Sounds like you are sorted then. Always liked Fuji kit, had it in previous companies. I'd also take a look at the software tools they are bundling in before signing, unless you have Valor, Unicam, Aegis or similar already to handle the programs, opt
