Chris, Have you considered Fuji? The robustness of Fuji is proven. I have recently done floor space analysis and cost per placement/sqr foot studies. I have also performed ROI studies on these machines. The new CP7 machine from Fuji outperforms th

When the are up and running they are hard to beat, but when they go down they go down hard. Keep field service close. Don't get me wrong they're great machines and the company I used to work for had some of the first machines available. I come fro

We have auto-correct funtion on our Panasonic Create CM-301 placement machines but have never turned it on because of a perceived loss of placement time when the camera verifies placement. We look at the first article and correct placemnt if needed.

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

There is a new toy I received today: a NeoDen TM-240A automatic desktop pick and place machine! I’ve kept my eyes on this baby for a quite a while, and finally decided to make a purchase last week. The shipping was very fast: DHL from China, a total

Even when you run a board several times, the machine may not make the same travel path every time. This in itself does not create a problem, but the vacuum on the nozzles could be different, dependent on the configuration of components on the heads.

proper pad geometries, accurate placement, and good reflow profile. Are you having problems right now?

A lot depends on the complexity of the board/process as well as the amount of placements. If the board has few placements and the parts are not smaller that 0805 then doing all the rework after completion is ok. The human eye can only pick out obvi
