I've been working to bring a Universal GSM-1 back to operational readiness at a university. I have lots of pnp experience but little on the GSM. The software is at 3.2.3. When I try to manually "zero the board" in the PWC menu I get only a black s

Go with Universal. We had Fuji equipment for years. That is all but phased out now and we only are buying Universal. You cannot beat their service. The chip shooters are great. The only cons that I have dealt with is the learning curve on the n

If you teach your feeders, you can no longer gang pick correct? I have never had a dual beam or dual head GSM before. However, if you teach feeders with the fiducial camera and your picks are still off, there is an offset in one or several spindles

Thanks for the advice. This is not a Universal camera. I removed the lense from a "blown" camera and installed a new CCD that I bought from a camera shop. I only see one ring that can be adjusted on the camera itself. Not sure if it's aperture or

The camera on the head of my Universal GSM1 (1994/5 model) displayed interference, and then the live video from it went red. This has never happened before. I've tried re-starting the machine, wriggling the camera feed wires, cleaning the lens etc. D

2.6 mil/pixel and a 4 mil/pixel cameras works maybe even better. It is sometimes a little bit difficult for the 1 mil/pixel cameras to accept parts; and it will take longer time to inspect a bigger QFP as it needs to take more pictures. We use 2.6 mi

It seems Universal Instruments is local to me but I have heard the gsms are maintenance proned. I found one with a brand new head and upgraded camera for $5k. Even if I spend $5k in repairs I'm still ahead. Juki seems to dominate east and west coa

Hello, We have recently liquidated a production line, almost everything has been already sold, we just have left over 300 GSM feeders and lot of spare parts for machines. Whereever I try to sell this equipment I hear it is too old and they do not us

Hi, We used the 1 mil for 0402's etc. Admittedly most of our experience was on 2.6 & 4 mil as we mainly used the GSM's for oddform & fine pitch, but we found that the smaller chips went down better & more accurately with the smaller camera. Oh yeah
