Yes process engineers that work for contract manufacturers try to get the full CAD or XY rotation files from their clients unfortunately still many of their customers still give them only Gerber files for the PCB project. Unisoft has had a focus on

Certain customers do give us CAD. USUALLY ODB++ but I've also gotten .ipc and .pcb . Many of our customers bought or inherited a design, and therefore have no control to generate additional files. Or, as you mentioned, they had another manufacture

The point here is if you can't get the full CAD files or the XY rotation files and all you get his Gerbers and a BOM. Most all contract manufacturers and some OEM's at some time or another have to deal with Gerber only files. If you find yourself i

First of all, whom are you getting it from ? Mydata, or a used equipment broker. If you can tell me what machine type you are looking at, then I can tell you what to look for. (MY-series, or TP series) Most important things right off the bat: *Machi

MyData TP9s Work well in high mix applications because change over time from 1 job to the next can be done in as little as 15 minutes if you have the right mix of magazines/feeders. Component placement rates vary depending on which component you ar

Generally, the machines can place the same types/sizes of components. The advantage with the 11 is that you can have more magazines loaded with more components, and build larger assemblies more efficiently. The -9, though, will get you through near

The two first level cuts at comparing placement machines are: * Placement rate * Range of component capabilities This boils-down approximately to machine price. Virtually, everyone's feeders are priced similarly. Go to "Circuits Assembly" magazine
