| Has anyone had any experience or data using vibration during the reflow process. | We introduced a vibration device attached to the fixed rail on a Vitronics reflow oven. The reason was to prevent skewing on large PLCC devices. The process worked v

Thomas, I imagine if you could get everybody's opinion who's worked with vibratory feeders for any length of time, they'll all tell you they basically suck...it's better than nothing when you have to deal with tubed parts, but they still suck. Here's

I have a question about assembleon vibration feeders. What is the process for loading tubes in these feeders? Our personnel are cutting the top of a tube end around the size of the part and glueing it into place. Then the machine is programmed for

Hi, Yes MYDATA vibration feeders are a nightmare, but you might want to check the feeder. We had one that would vary a lot, and it never seemed to be able to be set to the right vibration level for consistent feeding. It turned out to have a problem

Don't know if you can do it on a MyData, but I have found that I lower the rate of failed pickups on our machine by altering the placement order of devices. Specifically insisting it does not attempt to pick sequential parts from the same lane. Of co

Yes... I can generally get away with it for all but the low profile stuff such as tssop packages. The plastic tubes are so shallow anyway that once you've used a scalpel to create a pick up window, you've virtually got no side-wall left. Anything b

Reels are 100% the best, vibration feeders should always be a back up, they are quite unreliable through no fault of their own. Say you have 1000 parts to be placed, and the cost of a reel is 100$ more than a tube, but the reel loads 10 to 1 over th

Marlies, The terms are one in the same but are used according to how you descibe the situation; i.e. centering refers to adjusting the part where as aligning normally deals with adjusting the vision. NOT THAT THIS IS A RULE. ( different strokes...

A rejected part from a reel is a little bit of a pain to use, where a rejected part from a tube is easy. That doesn't mean that I like tubes though. I have also found that some parts cost more when delivered on tape. First check that your machine is

Hi, One think we always hated when running MYDATA was the vib feeder, and we had no end of problems. The supplier told us most people angled the component tubes up, however then the vib settings change between when the tubes full, and mostly empty.
