What is the general life expectancy of most pick and place machine? I am looking at a Univeral genesis machine that has 50 million on each of the heads. It has been properly serviced and maintained. What point is it too much?

Once the spare parts are not available it becomes obsolete. Another huge contributor is the person who service the machine. You need someone with high level of understanding hardware and software of the machine.

Wouldn't the VRM linear motors need to be replaced eventually? How long do they generally last on the genesis? Replacing a ball and screw is not cost prohibitive but the linear motors sounds like it would be. Wouldn't that be the life of a genesis

You are making me jealous! Will be on the lookout for lightening head next. Do you recommend genesis or advantis? My SMT operator prefers the genesis, but my pocket is scared of the linear motors going out. FYI I have 2 of those OS2 GSMs.

Thanks for responding. Which one do you like better GI14 or GC60? I agree with you that VRM motors are better.

Linear motors will live longer than the machine will. There is no friction, so unless you crash the machine that bad to damage one of them, I don't see that happening.

I'd look for one of the Advantis machines made after Universal moved production of them back from China to New York, if one that fits your needs exists. Especially with a used chipshooter machine, ball screws will eventually wear out, linear motors w

We're looking at purchasing a magazine unloader from Promation. We've never bought any board handling equipment from them before and I was looking for feedback on their equipment. Thank you

SMTA-Shafiq On your cost per placement: Will the through-put of this new placement machine be greater than the current lowest through-put machine on your line? The lowest through-put machine should be your focus. On your reducing the BOM: Reducing

Can you describe the scenario that gives you multiple p/n's with the same specifications in the same BOM? I can understand having multiples in your inventory (primarily if you're a CMS and have multiple listings for different customers) but not per
