Yeah that is a drawback to those feeders. The plastic part that is mentioned in one of the responses is okay but you have to be real careful when pulling the tape out before you can put that part on. Mydata always says to leave the reel with the feed

Hi , Using the Agilis feeders 3/4 months now. We are low volume so they haven't worked hard , but we have had no real problems. They seem to work well with both paper and plastic tapes.As for components we use them on 0603, 0805 ,SOT ,mini-melf & t

We have also had some of the same problems, but at the risk of sounding redundant, we have had success in using both the 8mm and 16mm tape clips to secure the tape. We have also been very pleased with the adjustable 16mm feeder doing a job the regul

Something to consider is the ability to pick from 2mm tape if you're going be placing 0402s. Quads can't really do it (at least they couldn't do it about 6 months ago when we inquired), but you can program two feeder locations for the same feeder and

Dave, I think he means that when the plough on the feeder peels back the tape, it exposes a few extra components that are yet to be picked. As a result when he is finished with the reel there are some components in pockets that are not required but

Good Morning All, We have a Mydata shop. 5 lines in all. We are also using a mix of old style and Agilis feeders. The claim that you will not loose parts in loading is based on keeping the clip with the reel. This is the whole basis of the Agilis co

I know what you mean but have never found a tool that would do this sufficiently. For higher value parts you should keep them in a bag for the next time you run a job that uses that part and hand fit them. The nature of the feeders means that you w

Pete I can fully understand the inter-departmental problem your dealing with. A couple of simplistic thoughts since your only dealing with pennies. You cannot afford to run out or the parts you are dealing with or you will have thousands of dollar

Hi , I am having an issue with my Mydata TP11 UFP. About 2 yrs ago I upgraded from TPSYS 1.6 to TPSYS 2.2.4 to enable me to use the agilis feeders. This involved an operating system change from Venix (Unix Clone) to a version of Linux. the upgrade i
