The HSC, "Lightning Head", is offered on two platforms, Genesis and Advantis. The decision will depend on your throughput needs and price requirements. In comparison to the HSP, I would recomend the HSC. With the ability to use docking feeder carts,

Anyone out there with first hand experience with the Advantis platform and more specifically with the lightning head? How is the speed/accuracy/software? Thanks!!

The Lightning Head on an Advantis Platform is a good choice. You should expect to see "Real Life" speeds around 20K, better accuracy than any Turret Style Machine, and the software is the same as any GSM,Genesis,Advantis machine using a Windows platf

We have 2 lightning head machines. We have a very clean, dry air supply. We have had zero spindle problems in 3 yrs.

Universal has been producing Lightning pick and place heads for some years now. How are these heads performing these days? Speed, component range, reliability. Who has worked with them?

In search of my ultimate chip shooter I need a machine faster than 2 universal instruments lightning heads. I am aware Fuji has a turret head and Yamaha. Are they as reliable/fast as the lightning head? Who else makes turret heads?

I would agree up until 2005 - 2006. Universal did not have a good SMT solution. Their GSM's were limited and combined with the sanyo chip shooter - software was a nightmare. What years did you have universal?

I'm not getting an association between global and local fids on our Universal Lightning and In-Line 7 machines. The machines find globals just fine, then when it moves to find locals, they are not always centered in the search box (sometimes nearly
