Hi Greg, We've used lots of machines over the years & seen lots of different tape related issues - the main one being snap off of the cover tape, usually due to too much glue, over entusiastic heat seal, or a feeder requiring maintainance. Also the

Griinder, Maybe it's me, but I think what you might be saying here is that you see a reflected image of the PCB or Stencil when you and teaching the fiducials and it is interfering with the teaching routine, is that correct? If this is true it is c

We've always been MpM so no comparison from me on DEK. All I can say is we have had 3000 series that seemed to need constant attention and almost daily wrenching. We got a couple of AP25 HiE's and they are easier to use, way more reliable and simpl

We run Dek ELAs and MPM UP1500, Everyone here prefers the Deks. Set up, software, maintenance, operation etc. There's not a lot in it - the guys just prefer the Deks. However we are an OEM and so get control on board design, finish, fiducials etc. So

I'm with Chunks on this. In my experience MPM's are very accurate and reliable. There are so many out there because people like them. You can make a program with 2D inspection in about 10 minutes. Things do sometimes break on the 3000's, but not

Some Customers normally don't share CAD data in order not to copy the design. What you can do is use the Pick and Place file then plot to the pcb paste/silkscreen layer of the gerber using software. Not sure if your universal machine can load a gerb

I believe the early UP3000's had some significant mechanical issues. We have 3 UP3000 Ultraflex machines. We bought them used. These are great machines and easy to program but you need to have operators that really understand the machine. I dont thin

I agree with Chunks. Programming was much simpler. The 2D inspection is much better on MPM. I didn't have to use offsets on the MPM or the DEK very often, but did more on teh DEK. I didn't like the front justified stencils on the DEK. I also did

Do you know how to obtain feeder loading sheet from CircuitCAM?

Pavel You're correct that you should consider the point loading of your placement, wave and other machines. I've put shops above the ground floor of buildings. Equipment suppliers are the best source of information about these requirements. BR, dav
