We traded in old vibes for this thing and wished it was around long ago. The savings in lost parts and set up time makes it worth it alone.

Yes, you can run tm magazines on my machines but with the hydra heads they are not quite as accurate and miss pick more parts then agilis feeders. Mycronics does sell dual head machines with 2 midas heads and 2 sets of hydras

How reliable are TM feeders for 0402 placements? I have a board with 2000+ 0402s that I need to run daily. I don't need agilis feeders for change overs as we use less than 50 feeders total.

Thanks, what about the newer agilis feeders? Fully agree one 0402 missing and its a train wreck.

I just went through the spiel about these Agilis feeders one of the questions I asked was "Does the part that separates the cover tape from the carrier ever gum up or jam?" I was told they have never seen any problem from this issue, but when you men

The Agilis feeders are much more reliable than the old TM feeders. You can tweak the TMs a little bit, but, it can be a pain. Agilis have better repeatability, and built in y axis correction for 0402 and smaller parts. On the newer machines (My se

JMills, The white clip that I refer to is for the Agilis feeder system. The actual clips (feeders) are color coded. As far as the timing on the TM8's, I received a proceedure from Mydata several years ago but had reverted to submitting the feeder ba
