Mika, I think you will find all board houses "clean up" their customer's files to suit their shop. Depending on the severity of the change; I think they take the attitude that they will not inform you to avoid an argument going backwards and forwards

We replaced a manncorp machine with a MyData about 3 years ago and have been very satisfied. A Mydata machine should meet all of your requirements with the possible excpetion of the odd form parts but I am not sure any machine does those well. The

Looking at the Emerald machines, they do seem like they'd fit the bill quite nicely. Other than the operating system, is one generation markedly better than the others? I have all the data on the X2 from the manufacturer's site, but what changed from

If you're still looking and cost is a major factor. Celestica Toronto is selling a couple of GSM 1's in reasonable condition. They should do the job and there's tons of parts/feeders etc available in the used market. I think they're asking around

Dear forum We are in the market for a new /used machine pick place machine with 15 mil accuracy. We have been using a quad 4C for 7 years and it seems like each week we put more money into repairs. I have looking into several machines but it seem l

Hi, There is lots of threads on this, so I would search these, and then do some reading. Then once you have some brands in mind, call the suppliers of this equipment and get some demos to learn about how each machine works. There is lots of differen

We are a high mix - low/medium volume company running an older MyData upgraded TP9 machine. It does a good job placing 20 mil pitch and 0402 components. We have not tried to place 15 mil pitch. Breakdowns/repairs have been relatively low consideri

I have only used the Quad 4C, We bought it used and ran good right out of the box without the need for repairs. It uses quadaline and does not work very well on IC's. We place 30K 1206 parts a week with a 4 % dump to bin. I have to tolerance set to 3

Quadalign is very similar to the Samsung. I would think that 4% dump on 1206 or even IC is way over the top. If you are certain that your component data is correct; I suspect that your z-axis centring height may be out of whack and that you are eith
