I don't know about the TM8FC magazines but the Agilis magazines allow you to slow down the tape advancement speed. If you can, slow down the tape advancement on the TM8FC.

If you update the MyData TP machine with the latest version of the TPSys software you can use Agilis feeders (and magazines) on a TP machine. Of course, they will charge you to do that.

Yes, you can run tm magazines on my machines but with the hydra heads they are not quite as accurate and miss pick more parts then agilis feeders. Mycronics does sell dual head machines with 2 midas heads and 2 sets of hydras

How reliable are TM feeders for 0402 placements? I have a board with 2000+ 0402s that I need to run daily. I don't need agilis feeders for change overs as we use less than 50 feeders total.

I have five Mydata machines. The 21000 number is pie in the sky. Our new My12E (2 months old) won't get close to that. Having said that, I am very happy with 0201 production with the Hydra/line scan/Linear Agilis combination. Mike

The Agilis feeders are much more reliable than the old TM feeders. You can tweak the TMs a little bit, but, it can be a pain. Agilis have better repeatability, and built in y axis correction for 0402 and smaller parts. On the newer machines (My se

I would agree that anyone buying a new machine should run boards on it. As well I agree with almost everything you said. We did run boards on a Mydata machine. If we were shorter runs and higher mix I would have bought one. We paid a local comapny a

JMills, The white clip that I refer to is for the Agilis feeder system. The actual clips (feeders) are color coded. As far as the timing on the TM8's, I received a proceedure from Mydata several years ago but had reverted to submitting the feeder ba
