GSMs are great machines for many parts, but for the small parts you should look for something better and more contemporary. As it was mentioned in one of the previous posts, the feeder is a big key. I don't think there is feeder for GSM that can supp

I think they can all support pneumatic but it might depends on the age, I'm not sure about series 2 Genesis. Something to watch is that they can't all support 24 V Electric feeders. Mine does but it's an option. 48v is the standard for gold feeders

We have a line running GSM1 machines and we are considering upgrading to GX-11S machines with FJ3 heads. Does anyone know if the GX-11S machines can take pneumatic feeders from the GSM machines? We have a very large inventory of the pneumatic and ele

Hello all, I am looking for a general opinion on splicing tapes. It has always been my opinion that splicing was an after thought for the machines that did not allow feeder removal and replacement during machine operation. If the machine has the ab

Thanks, Deni! We're replacing two 4-spindle GSM's with two GX-11S with Flex3 front and IL4 in the rear. These we plan to use a mix of our pneumatic & 24V feeders as well as high speed feeders as we acquire them. The sellers advised that the 24V kits

Juki is a great way to go as far as reliability the Jukis are bullet proof. Change overs are much like other Japanese machines if you have the feeder carts, tray changer and stay away from Vibratory feeders you will be successful with this platform i
