My Machine guy was a 4 year ex-quad Service Engineer. Prior to that he spent 6 years in a CM programming and servicing quads from QX toQ3c/4c q100 series. These are opinions. Nothing more. I have noticed that the smallest players in the market

Dr. Lou, I wouldn't recommend the Quad QSP series. A stated before it's old tech, and the feeders are junk. If your looking at Tyco (Quad), they have a new Mirae 1025P platform. It's very competitive performance/price against Assembleon and the li

Here's my 2 cents worth.....as if anyone cares??? Spend: 1 million for a machine = 1 million in R&D on the machine 100,000 for a machine = 100,000 in R&D on the machine. if spending the 100,000, then you need to hire a qualified engineer to maintain

Pete, Please for all of us that read this forum, explain to us what Grant has said about Mydata that is not true. I watch this forum closely and I never remember Grant saying anything about Mydata that was inaccurate. FYI: We have had Mydata machin

I have been reading the forum to try and figure out what brands to look at for Pick and Place machines. We need around 3,600 cph, and would like to be able to handle 0402, soic, tssop, and perhaps as little as 0.020" pitch. Max pcb is 9 x 13". Looks

Ken...you are right on the money. I couldn't imagine someone new to SMT assembly getting themselves involved with such an old platform. Besides I would have my doubts that a Quad 4C can even handle what this guy would want it to do. 0402's on a 20 ye

Hi Pete, Thanks for taking the time to respond. My experiences with Mydata would differ from yours, but as in life, different machines are for different circumstances. We have many low volume customers that love them - they are easy to use, upgr

Fuji is the best, but there are other alternatives besides Quad. If you really want to look at Fuji, take a peek at their XP142E series. With "Vision processing on the fly" and a "Mini Turret Head" with 12 placement nozzles it should fit your needs n

OK I am game and will put some input here...I do like the Samsung machines for the price and they are easy to program. Another company you may want to look at is Essemtec. ESSEMTEC USA Glasboro, NJ 08028-1499 Steve Pollock Tel. 1/856 218 1131 Fax 1/

Hi, I have used both MYDATA TP9, MY9 and more recently MY12. MYDATA machines are just not accurate, and we did everything possible, and every kind of upgrade they had. We ended up putting in Fuji XP based machines, and the differences are very notic
