| 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

| 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

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

Hi Grant, change over and set up times for the CP's depend on a few things. For one, if you have enough feeders you can have the feeders reeled up ready to go on the machine. The change over will be very quick. If you are lucky enough to o

What machines have you worked with previously? Depending on the programming software used, CP6 can be relativly easy to program. CP6 has been a workhorse in the industry for a long time. One the process is set up, maintain the machines acording t

Thank you very much for the input. I figured out my problem to be that once I defined the tray, I did not changeover the table top just as Bob said. I'm good to go now, I think anyways. I was so used to the IQ feeders, changing over the matrix tray

Sorry, I did misunderstand. My opinion would be: Assuming nothing else used feeder space, like tray changers, camera's, nozzles, ..... and assuming 1 slot = 1 8mm feeder position, I think 70-90 slots would be reasonable. A reasonably priced feeder ta

| I have a number of hopefully easy questions: | | 1. Are there significant differences in the ease of change-overs and set-up among different equipment manufacturers? For example, are Siemens Siplace machines truly more modular than others?

My opinion to hold on to your machines was based on the current market situation. First of all, I don�t believe that a customer with ten boards will go to China for prototype production. Truth is, that the remaining market here is the prototyping mar
