1. can you load cut tape onto the feeders, or only reels? You can, but you have to use cover tape extender (pretty cheap, though) >2. how about parts on trays (like Atmel AVRs in the QFP package)? You need tray feeder. But you can "make" your own

Contact's new C5 platform is an excellent machine. I found that it is superior in value due to several points. 1. one machine capable of 192 8mm feeders. 2. Feeders that are capable of being adjusted from one size to another with little effort. R

Hi, Your right, and that's the thing I liked about MYDATA, even though we are selling ours now, and putting in Fuji'. I would still by a MYDATA if I was starting again, and doing low volume. When we started we kept our first product as simple as po

Hallo Erhard, this appears to be a common task for the manufacturer of taping machines. These machines pick from a bowl feeder or from a wafer and place into tape or tray. Check Ismeca, Viking and others. If you are looking into a custom made solutio

Hi, When I started out and we were the same we got an old MYDATA TP9-2U. It places everything, and you should be able to get a cheap one second hand, that will perform very well. They have vision as well, as an options, and that works very well. I w

| I am involved in the purchasing decision (Technical side) of which placement machine to buy. One of the criteria we need to specify is how many feeders, and what sizes. I have a provitional parts list of a job that we are most likly going to build.

The PPS helps to prepare a program off-line without affecting on-line production. However, there are certain efforts that we must consider, such as identifying the part orientation on feeder vis-a-vis its placement orienation on PCB, and confirming s

Thanks Alexei for your advice. I consider mainly high-volume production with tape/reel feeders for most components and tray for big ICs. My ultimate goal is a cost estimation of the production activities. So departing from a parts-list, I need to est

I didn't use my real name because I don't want to get bombed with phone calls and emails. We are an OEM looking to put in a SMT line soon. Is this GSM a decent machine? How much does it cost? | | Also and info on decent screen printers and reflo

I would highly recommend Assembleon OpalXII/TopazXII for your low volume high mix applications. You could perform changeovers very quickly. Of course it depends on how many feeders are required per product. If you buy for example, 2 OpalXII machines
