I've been struggling with this problem for a while. We have two products: A, which is Ok and B, with tombstone defect (0603 & 0805 capacitor chips). A & B have the same design: pad sizes, separation between pads, components orientation. Both have s

I have worked with Fuji turret machines for several years. I highly recommend them.They are mechanically superb. They very very rarely break. The only draw back from Fuji in my experience is the knowledge of the guys you get when you call the service

Hi Grant, change over and set up times for the CP's depend on a few things. For one, if you have enough feeders you can have the feeders reeled up ready to go on the machine. The change over will be very quick. If you are lucky enough to o

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Couple of other things to consider: 1) Are both machines similar in price? 2) CP-6 feeders will work on a CP-7 although the larger pans need to be changed. Used CP-6 feeders go for about $175 on av

Guys I've been following your threads for a bit here. I have to say that the Universal machine is as robust and probably better than the Fuji. I too have been in this business for about 20 years and have had considerable experience on both. The pla

You can't tell how a machine will perform on your particular board by looking at it place parts at a trade show. Usually they demo a best case scenario (parts in a simple grid pattern, few package types, etc.) You need to supply the board data for y

Sam- It all depends on what and how many boards you're trying to build that will determine if gantry or turret is the way to go. I like gantry machines and have been impressed by their increased performances over the last few years but they still hav

Although I have not personally run or programmed either the Universal or the Fuji to any great extent, I have worked in factories that have utilized each type. One had 4796 machines and the other used Fuji CP3, 4, 4-2, 6, 643. As an observer I am d

Hi, We thought about the Universal turret chip shooter, and decided to go away from them because they are mechanically complex and expensive. We also wanted to use machines of the same brand on the line so we could run the management software easi

I can explain our kitting process which was heavily software managed. For our Chipshooters we grouped setups of the optimum algorithym for less carriage movement, and grouping part numbers as much as possible. This was done with some high dollar sof
