Good Morning All, We have a Mydata shop. 5 lines in all. We are also using a mix of old style and Agilis feeders. The claim that you will not loose parts in loading is based on keeping the clip with the reel. This is the whole basis of the Agilis co

Always base your decision based on the need, rather than mearly comparing the specificaiton. The specifications are only indicator and not true performance for a specific application. Mydata and their agilis are good for high mix medium volume produc

Hi, Yes, when we load new reels we cut off the end of the tape, just long enough so we can make sure the whole tape will feed out the back of the machine as it starts to feed. We have the Agillis TM1218 feeders, and they do have problmes with the

I wouldn't worry about patents except for those types of feeders which have patents such as the MyData Agilis feeders. I would worry about cost of tooling for $tampings. Long time for ROI there. Also pay attention to the burr side and shear side of

Hi, We have never had a break, and I did not know that happened. Can they be repaired? Regards, Grant

Well the first thing you should know is once Mydata comes out with a new version, the older one is done. We have upgraded to the 2.4.4 and it it was well worth it. We increased our speed because the Agilis LM magazines are faster. Mydata always adds

Grant, Yes they do get broken by the operator or whom ever is loading or unloading the feeder stick pulling the tape through the feeder and the component pocket will snag the tip of the plow and bend it so that the tip ends up breaking off making

Hi, Yes, one of the problems with the MYDATA is the feeders are in groups, but at the same time, they are simple, and don't break. But the new Agillis 12 and 16 mm feeders do jam a bit. It's worse on glued cover tape, while heat bonded cover tape is

Many MYDATA customers might not be aware that some tapes are of PSA-type. They don't have to. In the early work with Agilis this was also an open issue for the design team, so several tests were made which showed that PSA would not be a problem. Rece

I know what you mean but have never found a tool that would do this sufficiently. For higher value parts you should keep them in a bag for the next time you run a job that uses that part and hand fit them. The nature of the feeders means that you w
