We usually program the components in the component database with pin 1 in the lower left corner. Then in the feeder database we set the component orientaion to 270 deg for Tray feeders(turn the tray in the feeder 180 deg) and "tube" feeders. For tape

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

Cheers Greg, It's unusual to have such direct access to manufacturers & their opinions. I'll tell you what really does get us, and splicing doesn't work well on these occaisions - big SMD connectors, requiring deep pocket feeders. You only get m

Hey Greg, As you already pointed out yourself: unless you can do away with covertape pickup-spools (or can figure out a way to empty them without loosing tension on the covertape) your feeders will not be suitable for several consecutive splices. S

Dr. Lou, I wouldn't recommend the Quad QSP series. A stated before it's old tech, and the feeders are junk. If your looking at Tyco (Quad), they have a new Mirae 1025P platform. It's very competitive performance/price against Assembleon and the li

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

Hello Rob, We have reel hangers on our feeders as opposed to "buckets". The reels cannot be removed while the feeder is mounted to the machine. Thus splicing is not currently an option. As mentioned above, we felt that it is easier to remove the f

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
