Stick with what you know, Panasonic make perfectly good machines that are in installs all around the world and last for ever. I believe the I-Pulse is a derivitive of the Yamaha/Assembleon platform & as such should be adequate. (I'm sure Base will

Panasonic and Fuji made their reputations in this business with their chipshooters. These are bullet proof machines that will perform admirably in the field for decades hence their reputation cannot be argued. However...what they are building today a

Hi Folks, Starting a second SMT line this year and it's been (too) long since I have looked at newish machines and I am in need of some assistance with P&P machine selection. Here is what we currently have: Panasonic CM-202 chip shooter 216 8mm reel

What kind of transformer is this? Is it single phase, 3 phase? What's the input and output voltage and how much current can you draw off of the secondary? I'm doing something with a stepup transformer right now and am wondering what Siemens used t

Nathan, look into a 7 or 8 zone oven. Depending on your baord size, a 5 zone may get you by. If you do plan to get larger work orders, go big on your oven now. It will pay off in the long run. Plus your window for profiling will be easier.

Yep, we did it just the way you described, I think. What we did NOT do was a block conversion. We just built it a board at a time, to see if things were accurate when we first programmed it. They weren't, so we did away with the block fids, adjusted

Hi, Sorry for getting a little off the original thread topic here, and we should do this offline. We found there is quite a difference running a few boards to running hundreds per day with about 100,000 placements per day. That's what we ended up d

Bobpan ..Thanks for the 1st input Let me ask in a little more detail The controller on SMT machine will understand the X-Y positions to mount the chips/transistor based on a given centroid in gerber file---the software on machines like Fuji, Assem

We use an AOI machine to check the first-off. This will pick up such errors, and if the line is stopped until the AOI operator has approved it, the problem is solved, although it would require one fix.

The best I have seen was two people set up and verify and then two other people not involved with that setup verify. It worked quite well but even then a wrong part was put on. Day shift set up and Afternoon shift thought that both verifications had
