Hi AJ, Change ALL 12 of the 1.0mm to 0.7mm. The CP 4 can only set nozzle size for S M and L not some of the 12 but all 12. 0402 usually come in 8 x 2 mm tape so you need 8 x 2 feeders or you will waste 1 component for every component you use. T

Don't do it.!!!! Are you nucking futs? Why is pre-bake required? Are you producing in high humidity? Is the package of the device poroues enough to suck in moisture? Think, consider you will not get an even "bake", the outside of the reel will get

Although Mydata is probably your best choice they are hard to come by used. If you have the budget for a CP7 you could easily get a refurb from MyData. What ever you do don't buy a Fuji for low volume! Although many might disagree with me a Siemens

Thank you very much for the input. The Siemens route is actually one we have looked into but I guess our CEO had a bad experience with some Siemens machines some years back and is now rather turned off towards them. I myself have looked at the new Un

If there is a budget available, rather than looking at a Fuji CP7. Being issued with small strips of components would prove to be a nightmare with this style of placement machine. I would try to consider the Fuji AIM machine for use as the chipshoote

MyData machines are probably your best choice for low volume/high mix applications. Change over times can be minimal when you are loading your extra magazines/feeders for the next job while the previous job is running on the machine. Component plac

Your oven no doubt compensated by reducing energy to your heaters so it might not be as bad as you think. I'd be more concerned about even heating than over heating. My opinion is that an out of calibration profiler result is better than no result

Tony, We have a splicing service that would enable you to take a reel of 1,000 to 5,000 components and splice it down onto reels of 100, 250, 500, etc. parts for use in production. The price is $10 per splice and there is a set-up charge of $100 but

I once worked at a small CM that did this. On the floor we would save the spent tape to be re-used, so the only recurring costs would be the cover tape. Unless it was otherwise damaged the carrier tape was good for a few passes at least. It just h

Hey that was me way back! Anyways, use Dow 3140 (self leveling) or Dow 3145 (peanut butter consistency) and call it a day. No out gassing/acidic properties. 3140 also contains a UV tracer for black light inspection. Any tall caps should be epoxied if
