What about MY100? Its based on the same high speed hydra head just two of them. Do you not recommend those as well? Originally, I was looking at a MY9 before spending on a MY100dx. Certain things mydata do make it attractive but im a low mix, high

I have no experience with the MY100. Personally, I'm not a fan of platforms where the PCB is not stationary. Mechanical feeders typically require more maintenance than electronic. Yamaha is one of the few I haven't worked with. It is my understan

I would say not very reliable. The component separator spring, pick point adjustment, and magazine have to be perfect. Your nozzles have to be perfect etc..etc... My general advice is move to a different platform if possible. I have worked extensive

Darby, I'm not completely sure I understand. Juki machines have what is referred to as a multi-head. The offsets between the heads are the same as the spacing between 8mm feeders. So the (6) heads all come down at once and "gang pick" from 6 8mm fee

The only time we dealt with "major" loss related to the feeders was when they were out of maintenance. Kept in good shape, sure there's loss; but, I never considered it to be major. But, that is subjective, of course. In the end, in my mind, it

As much as I love MyData machines, if you are low mix high volume, they may not be the best solution. They have their place in the mix, but, I believe their greatest value is in high mix environments. Not to say that the My's won't do the work, the

yup...I've always ignored rated cph reported by the manufacturer. In the case of MyData's, the only way to approach the rated cph is to load the same part in multiple feeders next to eachother, and place it a million times...that way Hydra can gang

I looked into Fuji but heard some horror stories of $50k firmware upgrades to get older machines to work with latest software. ASM doesn't come off as small business friendly. Panasonic is a possibility, I prefer platforms that don't force you to p

Indeed, back in 2010 or so I had quotes for a MY100 with a Hydra head,as part of that I did get them to run a theoretical build time for one of our own boards. That came back @ just under 7k cph, it was a pretty sensible board with a nice range of th

Dear Forumites, It's been a while, but I have a question. I was recently asked to provide a scenario on capacity if we retired two older lines and replaced with a new line. My capacity figures were based on real time production over a period of six
