One of my Universal GSM (1995/ 1996 model) pick and place machines has recently started to drop the nozzle on the reject belt when dropping off a rejected component. I have tried replacing the nozzel holders on the ends of the spindles but with no im

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

The GSM can place the part from a XY positioning standpoint without issue. You'll have to look at what camera you have to know if the machine can inspect it. After that you need to decide if your feeders can accurately provide the part to the machine

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

Hi, Thanks for all the advice, and we are looking at everything we know of, but have not had much info back from anyone at Universal yet. We have been interested in their machines too and are going to go to a trade show before we decide. However I

Assembleon Topaz (many different flavors) or you can pick up an almost new Universal GSM pretty cheap these days. Are you looking for "new" equipment only? What are your requirements and/or features you are looking at/for? Another good machine if

The question new or used was discussed several times. If you start fresh and have no experience with one or the other machine vendor, I would get a new machine, whose supplier has a service tech in driving distance. If you select the used machine pa

Grant,You should take a look around at all of the alternatives out there. There are many fine solutions from every SMT assembly vendor. Fuji is not the only game in town. You should not purchase on name brand alone. If you are considering the CP-7, I
