When looking at 0402 parts in our old style Europlacer trolleys, the pick up point is in between two part slots. I have heard that there is a manual adjust somewhere on the sides of the trolley that will let you move part into the pick up window. I h

From what I can rememeber I used to set x & y to zero advance the tap ethen it was press the lane and vaild button together to advance half a pitch which should bring it all into line. All the older RC software you could just put a manual adjustment

We are looking to buy a 2nd hand Europlacer p-n-p. We would be very grateful to have a real production competent opinion about EP feeders/trolleys Questions: 1. generally how good/bad are older (Gen1, Gen2) Europlacer feeders and trolleys systems

Hello Dave, Thank you. I certainly look on Used Equipment Mart section. The question was if Gen 1 feeders/trolleys worth to invest or better try to buy EP Gen 2 feeders/trolleys even if significantly much expensier/rare on used machines market.

Hi, As a user of EP P&P machines for over 20 years I have used Gen 1 & Gen 2 Trolleys. If you can get Gen 2 Trolleys with Elements that would be the preference as there are a few options available on the Gen 2 not on Gen 1. That said the Gen 1 Trolle

Great! Thank you! What about Gen1 vs Gen2(NT) EP feeders (not feeder elements)

Go for Gen 2 NT feeders, the Gen 1 Feeders tend to be problematic the older they get whereas the Gen 2 feeders are a much better prospect. I've used 8, 12, 16, 24 and 44mm. Some problems to look out for is pull back of coverlay and removal of waste

Yeah my issue with the CLM945 type single slot feeders used for parts over 6mm is they index forwards using a tiny servo attached to some gears that pull on the cover tape. A system that begs to fail, the tape can stretch, the gears can start grabbin

That's not really the point of dual lane feeders. As a general rule having a dual lane 8mm feeder means the machines "slots" are actually 16mm, dual lanes on a 8mm feeder helps keep the overall lane density of a machine higher, its much easier to bui
