| Okay guys (and my fellow lady lurkers), I am trying to determine WHAT the segmentation is for the products in the pick and place industry. | | For example, I know in screen/stencil printing, there are manuals, there are semi-automatics, mid- and h

| We are currently looking into purchasing a high volume, medium mix production line. We are considering several different vendors and I would like to know if current users of Siemens equipment are happy. Are the machines maintenance intensive? Ho

When the are up and running they are hard to beat, but when they go down they go down hard. Keep field service close. Don't get me wrong they're great machines and the company I used to work for had some of the first machines available. I come fro

Chris, Have you considered Fuji? The robustness of Fuji is proven. I have recently done floor space analysis and cost per placement/sqr foot studies. I have also performed ROI studies on these machines. The new CP7 machine from Fuji outperforms th

Brian- IPC has SMEMA Down loads for communication protocal: http://www.ipc.org/html/fsresources.htm. Also, I interfaced a fuji CP6 with a Siemens s20 and had to put in a relay and sensor to complete the communications loop. Fuji uses a 24v on/off com

Dear Sir, It is possible depending on the exact application. At the moment only way to go direct from die to waffle or PCB is with Hover Davies direct die feeders on Philips EMT (ACM, advanced component mounter), Universal and Siemens machines. This

Thanks for your feedback. All the 0603 chips have the round solder lands but the 0805 chips and larger are rectangular. After speaking with the designer on it he said they chose round lands for the 0603 chips to get higher density of the circuit trac

Dave, I did assume Angela meant components ready for pick up. It would be too time consuming for any machine to measure the component availability prior to pick up. If we assume that the feeder advances in a rate of six sigma ( 3 defects per mio ) t

I had a couple of Mydata's for a number of years. I loved the software, it was easy to use, easy to program, easy to learn and very flexible. It's design is suited more for "batch" style production, rather than inline production. The placement is rel

It's not so much of a change but a new investment. We have Siplace lines now, and very pleased with the performance. The reason for looking at the Mydata is to remove all the small stuff from the faster lines and reduce changeover times. The idea is
