Hi: How simple or complex do you want? We run PFS software, but for our Feeder Maint we used access and just wrote a simple pgm and tied it into our PFS. What PFS gives us is how often the feeder is change out and this is used to base a feeder PM

We have 2 Lightning machines (30 spindle). They have been great. Only a couple minor issues in the 3 years we've had them. No troubles with feeders, either. The "Golds" work great and we have had a 3 or 4 with troubles but that is out of 200+ fee

Hi Thomas, Yes, we are pretty good at feeder maintenance, we gang pick on our Yamaha/Assembleon kit with no issues. On one of our older machines (YV112-3/Sapphire) we pick 12 LEDs at once per side of the machine. On a couple of jobs we exceed the ma

Thanks for your reply. I am interested in knowing about maintenance schedules and levels. I'm wondering how to know if I must replace a part. What part? What type of lubrication (for Fuji). Etc. My company is small in terms of number of lines and th

Hello. In a stupid way I'm glad not to be alone in the feeder jungle. We have the same ammount of feeders with a mix of Fuji and Panasonic high spped feeders as the main problem. The way we do it at the moment is that we have marked up all with a num

Hi Liza, We've seen it occaisionally in house on Universal GSM 8,12,16mm but not on Fuji (except when a feeder's not used for a while). Also on 44, 56 & 72mm (the smaller vol parts I mentioned earlier. It tends not to affect the Hoover Davis Feeder

We have utilized one of these for about 6mos. now (is that right Larry? I know you're reading this.) So far it has proven to be a very good machine. Getting the vision right on chip caps can be tricky and sometimes frustrating but once they are rig
