That's what we do with our MSHII's...setup one carriage offline while the other one runs. We also have setup carts to load the feeders ahead of time and haul them out to the lines. Of course, when we exceed the carriage capacity of 75 slots for an

Unfortunately 95% of our runs require both sides of our Universal HSP's. We also have carts that hold one carriage worth of feeders on each side. Parts that carry over from one product to the next are flagged and relocated in the machine per the ne

Great advice!........Single tier feeder set-up carts are also available through Universal instruments directly for this exact purpose. Most people who really care about this changeover time have "pit-crews" that work in the component storage areas, o

Adding to Mike's comments. There are two types of selective wave soldering machines. * Chimney type, like the AirVac and Wenesco that Mike used. They use a boot to funnel the solder to the component to be soldered. * Programmable head type [ie, ERS

Doug, Thank you for your interest in DEK's PumpPrint technology. The stencils are a plastic type with a standard thickness of 3mm. This thickness, as you mentioned is to allow us to route out for clinched leads. Also for note is that we manufactu

You are correct...These are proprietary codes. Your best bet is to stick to the UCT-31. Other folks have tried to create a tool of their own, but have had little success. Universal Instruments offers component library conversion tools as well as patt
