Thanks for the feedback guys. We have Fuji IP3's, so we can save all the reels and bottom tape too. Stick feeders are a nightmare. Lost production due to the long set up times of vibratory feeders is ridiculous. Also, pick up rate is inconsistant fro

Kitting: Buy-in material in kit form that is complete and in the proper form. Line set-up: Layout all boards to be the same width. Printer set-up: Use a dispenser, instead of a printer. Dispenser set-up: Program & debug off-line. Placement machin

We have worked out as a guide formula to help us calculate this. As we have products that range from 5 unique pars to ~300 parts it is tricky to answer clearly. we worked out an average time to change our feeders at 3 minutes (this includes removin

We currently have agilis feeders and TM8 magazines for our Mydata machines. Our operators and set up people seem to dis-like the agilis feeders. When you set up a reel that already has the overlay tape peeled free from the carrier it gets in the way

I agree with Russ. If possible buy a bunch of used feeders and load up the next job while the first one is still running. This will save you time and lots of aggrevation over reeling feeders in the correct order, this will never work in the 'real wor

Hi, we also use Advantis machines. Our software have a software option "Auto teach pick up position". This one is made exactly for not perfect feeders or reels. In case you have this option it could help you. you can set it for each part you want.

Hi Grant, change over and set up times for the CP's depend on a few things. For one, if you have enough feeders you can have the feeders reeled up ready to go on the machine. The change over will be very quick. If you are lucky enough to o

The ideas so far are good, but yet remember, we are running 4 different lines with "1" set of parts that are never removed from the feeders. We can not get purchasing to buy extra reels of the of the most used parts, and these parts travel from line

Probably of no help but here it is anyway This is a tuff one. Attrition is due to many factors. You have machine rejects (visual fail, no pick), feeder set-up loss each time a reel is removed you lose X number of parts depending on feeder design (w

1. Not quite. The width of 16 mm came most likely from the reel width, which can be up to 15 mm wide for the 8 mm tape. The reel for the 12 mm tape is up to 18 mm wide and would occupy already two slots. If you design a machine from scratch, I would
