waste of time - get your materials manager to work on the smt floor for a week and see how ridiculous this approach is! saving pennies while adding time between setups, looking for parts and as you said issues with pickup etc....

Our company has recently changed the way our cage gives our SMT Department their parts to try to better control inventory. SMT now instead of recieving reels recieves strips with only 2-20 extra parts depending and the size/cost of the part. Does any

I was wondering if you could tell me about how long it takes to load and teach the strips in the tray?

Teaching trays (considering you already have the package in your library) takes about 2 mins. Really comes in handy for small batches when ICs/BGAs are supplied in small strips.

Seems like this is a common theme. It was always an uphill battle with management to get them to understand small strips costs us more time which in turn costs more money. Our management never got it so we had to think of ways around it.

I like AJ's answer. Count-On-Tools makes a neat holder for presenting short strips of taped SMT components to a placement head. http://www.smtnet.com/company/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_company&company_id=51639 Let us add to this by saying, we don't

I'm guessing you're running small batches of boards on the MyDatas. We had the same issue with management when they decided to save on parts (not realizing it cost them more in time and more frustration for us). We had Agilis feeders so that helped.

We run a Mydata high mix, low volume line. You can handle strips with either the Agilis feeders (losing the first 5-10 parts) or by placing the strip on the Y or tray wagons. For cheap parts like resistors, capacitors, some diodes and small ICs, ou

We build all our stuff in "kits" as you describe. We don't have much trouble running short on parts at the end although most of our equip. is new which helps a lot. We also have feeders that can run in reverse on set-up stations and we reload parts
