Yes, your TM magazines will work. However, you will lose some performance.

The recommended feeder for 0402s and especially 0201s is the green feeder with a 3.7mm spec. We use greens for 0402/0201, white for 0603, yellow for 0805s, and reds for tantalums. They work well, but sometimes you seem to get difficult tape. I hav

Yes, you can run tm magazines on my machines but with the hydra heads they are not quite as accurate and miss pick more parts then agilis feeders. Mycronics does sell dual head machines with 2 midas heads and 2 sets of hydras

My company also uses the TM8C (all feeders) with the same problem as Paul. The 0402's do exactly the same as he desribes.The SMT operators are correcting the placement data all the time when using 0402 but to no avail. Chris What do you mean by the
