Rob, Fantastic! I sure wish we would have put our requirements into our last P.O. The G.M of the manufacturer of this machine flat out promised and guranteed a certain CPH after reviewing the products that we would be producing. When the machine w

Hi Grant, We use the CP series from Fuji - so not quite the same, but the quality of engineering and company philosophy will almost certainly carry over into the XP range. Our machines are totally bombproof reliability wise, and the programming i

Hi Rob, I'm not sure I know what you mean. Are you referring to adding leaders to cut tapes in order to minimize component loss? Also, I've never heard of tapes snapping. Is this something you see regularly on a particular piece of equipment? Th

Hey Rob, I've seen operators splicing large tapes not just by sticking them together with a piece of splicing-tape, but additionally they overlap the tapes and (forcefully) insert the last pocket of the leaving reel into the first (empty) pocket of

Is anyone successfully and repeatably placing 0402 or 0201 components with an older GSM? We're looking at the possibility of quoting a new job with 0201's, and I need to assess the capabilities of the machine before I commit to the job. I've never

Rob, I know the things are not always as we like them :)....but people should understand that with the equipment you have you can't really work on 0201 jobs, so they shouldn't take any of these. I can design and build a helicopter, if I have the r

Hello again Grant, In addition to our Fuji CPs we run Universal machines, and although they are pretty reliable, they are not in the same league. Regarding Fuji Placement speed we hit 30K plus on a couple of boards with no issues, but you do have t

Hello Rob, We have reel hangers on our feeders as opposed to "buckets". The reels cannot be removed while the feeder is mounted to the machine. Thus splicing is not currently an option. As mentioned above, we felt that it is easier to remove the f

Greetings, We are discussing what should and what should not be baked and vacuum packed. Should we just concentrate on the fine pitch packages and the bga's? What about those components which come on blister tape, should they get baked and re-packed

| There is a practise within the industry of an Inspector inspecting a board, and that same Inspector performing touch-up. My opinion is that the Inspection and Touch-up operations should be separate functions whereby the Inspector is not performing
