We use Quad IICs, and IVCs and love them. They can be expensive to fix, but they are pretty reliable. I think PPM is releasing Windows software for their rebuilt machines, although I think it was going to be exensive. Maybe they give it away with

I am looking at buying a pick and place machine to assemble the circuit boards we make. Most of the boards are small (2 to 10 square inches), most are 2 sided, and have maybe 20-50 parts per side. I use mostly 0805/0603 chips, SOT-23, SOD-123, SOIC

If you go with a Quad from PPM, I believe that they've developed a windows interface for the machine. They also have a couple of old Quad people working there for continued support. --I receive no benedits from PPM, but I am a happy customer-- We

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask you a few questions.. -Do you prefer the IVC or the IIC? -What sort of actual components/hour throughput do you get? -Did you have any issues with the machines? (so I can check anything I buy to be sure it's free

Why use magnets? I found a KS project of a pcb prototyping machine that uses vacuum for PnP. Here is a video https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/botfactory/squink-the-personal-electronic-circuit-factory/posts/929661

Hello Ok there is not much info here. What you have to mae sure of is several key factors. 1. Have you entered the correct stencil thickness. 2. Are you using the stencil gerber (not the paste layer) The paste layer is usually not adjusted for ap

Smaller companies many want to rent a machine, but may not necessarily use it 24/7, and a smaller machine may require less expertise to use. If many small machine can work fast enough, it can operate for less time and reduce operating costs. (I'm mo

The problem about covering it with glue (without using solder) is that the components might dislodge by a miniscule amount underneath the glue. So maybe the contact points will disconnect. I'm not sure if this will be a real problem, but if so it wo

Hello, We are using Panasonic pick and place machine. I would ask if there is anyone from Panasonic to tell us which is the tape splicing method the most adequate to Panasonic feeders?
