What about chinese replica pneumatic feeders?

That's a good price with low hours. It's cheaper than an annual service. If handled correctly, with new copy Chinese feeders ($50 USD each), and good copy nozzles, and fixed set ups you should get a lot of use out of it. Personally I'd want some

... indeed, unless I'm very much mistaken you should be able to find refurbished or Chinese copies of your feeders in abundance on alibaba etc. I would suggest you try a few new ones as well as trying to refurbish the ones you have.

except the machine in question is a Chinese desktop crapbox with drag feeders... You could try asking the question on eevblog, someone else there might have one and have solved a similar issue. the reality is tho' you will get all sorts of issues l

I wouldn't touch one of these Chinese machines if a reliable "no headaches" experience is what you are after. I'm sure they do OK for whatever it is they are designed for, but actual volume production not so much. As others have said, proper machines

How many feeders do you need and what is the price of each width? Factor that into your equation. Onsite service is coming from ??? Annual fees for tech support, etc.? Does it handle matrix trays? You might need that in the future.

I only need 30 feeders. It comes with 64. What do you mean price of each width? No onsite service - so major drawback. Free tech support 24/7 for lifetime of product. What are matrix trays?

If the machine works I will order more of them or a bigger model. The idea of a desktop machine is very enticing. I can fit 10 of these in my R&D room. It uses Yamaha pneumatic feeders which are supposed to be very reliable.

Why are they so > expensive? Feeders are expensive, you can easily have considerably more invested in feeders than the placement machine. On new machines you won't find feeders coming in at much less than $500/each, often considerably more. As a r
