| Is cost an issue? I evaluated Siemens Siplace about a year ago and the price per placement was twice what Phillips Machinery has to offer. We too are a high mix/low PCb count shop. Also, Siemens has many hidden costs and the references I talked

Some key data is needed 1) how often does the HS 50 machines run? 24/7? 2)How many placements are being performed? I know for a fact Siemens Siplace S/F platforms require weekly preventative maintenance. Knowing the sophistication of the HS platform

We have one of the triples, it advances much more smoothly than the Siemens feeder and is easier to load. It is a well designed feeder, the drive mechanism uses some kind of plastic gears - but we haven't had it long enough to know if how well they w

Rob, I think the change over on the Quad QSP2 is about as easy and fast as it can get without swapping out the feeder bases. In a high mix environment I think it is worth looking at. Regards,

Are you using extra feeder tables that you can setup off line and than just exchange for the ones you had in the machines for the previous batch? This way the Siplace should not be too bad. Otherwise for fast change and low volume you might look at m

| You can prepare your setup off line, using additional tables, and exchange very fast just sending the new program and checking using a barcode reader. Also you can edit a setup program with mixed feeders between PCB families. You can decrease your
