The older generation "GSM" feeders will work fine on the multifunction variations of the AdVantis Platform, but will not physically work on the Lightning based AC30L. The AC30L uses a 42v feeder interface, while the MF versions have both the new 42v

Tom, Go with AC-30 for LEDs. Stay away from Flexjet heads (AC72).

We were quoted a lower cost feeder for the AC-30 but its not a smart feeder so we stuck with the precision pro. I assume by that that the low cost version is available now.

The plan for this machine is shooting thousands of mid power LED chips onto panels with one or two connector parts. From what I have seen watching video footage of the ac-30 vs ax-72, the ac-30 will be much faster for this chip shooting application.

The lightning head will place parts up to 30mm square but there is a height restriction and it will only pick from tape feeders, no trays, no vibes. It will put down QFP's at full speed and the placements are dead on. I think you need an optional p

Thanks for all of the comments and information. We ended up going with the AC-30L. We ran our first sticky panel once it was installed this week. It is a very impressive machine. I think it will do well for us in this application. Hopefully it treats

Hi Deni, Sure, when we begin to run production I will let you know what we are able to achieve. We are planning to begin test production toward the end of the year and have several other processes to setup as well. I have a feeling we might need an

Hi Tom, Only because I hate when it happens to me and no one says anything, the Youtube link is not working. Happy to hear the AC-30 is working out for you. If you do end up needed another (so exciting to hear as well) please let us know, we wou

I would agree with JAX for a general estimate. If you have a few specific boards Universal can put them in a simulator and give you pretty close estimates. I would reccomend you go to thier NY facility and actually run some boards and get to know the

Your vibe feeders will probably work fine. Using the old tape feeders on a Lighning head will limit the speed of the machine big time. I have not done it but I dont think its a good idea. We considered buying used feeders to offset the cost of our ne
