First off yes you can still get Comtra belt feeders. Second what type of belt feeder and for what kind of machine? eg Juki

Juki feeders will not work on Quad or Tyco machines. Unfortunately, (or fortunately - depending on how you look at it) there are not many, if any, cross-platform feeders. Heck, some vendors can't even swap between models of machines that they sel

We still have a lot of parts supplied in stick format for one reason or another and had some old MBF feeders which work great, does anyone know an alternative aside from the vibratory type feeder?

Contact your manufacturer of the machine and see if the belt feeders are available. Comtra Systems is the maker of the belt feeders and I do not know if they sell direct to the end-user. I don't have any contact information for them. I know they

We have had a 421 for a little over a year now and after the initial software bugs (we were one of the first users in the US i think) the machine is excellent! I would definitely recommend it. FWIW I was also looking at Juki but the feeder capacit

yes, Bob, I agree about that. But I can't afford them by now. But the problem is that I had to reject almost the 50% of the feeders that came with the machine, because are useless even for 1206. I also work with a very old but faithfull Juki, with it

Not sure what you mean. 0201's and 0402's are both on 8mm feeders. Juki's will do simultaneous picks an all 8mm feeders no matter the component size. Your feeders need to be maintenanced and calibrated to reliably pick 0402's and 0201's. I hav

GSMs are great machines for many parts, but for the small parts you should look for something better and more contemporary. As it was mentioned in one of the previous posts, the feeder is a big key. I don't think there is feeder for GSM that can supp

Hi Guys, I have Juki PnP machine with 2 heads, and for some reason, whatever I do, I can not make the machine to use 2independent feeders for parallel picking up single component reference by both heads from 2 feeders. Example , imagine you have a

The feeders on the Juki 750 machines have about 0.060" slop in the x-axis. Which allows the machine to try to pick up the part on the edge,inverting it. With the auto-correct feature enabled, the machine locates the feeder pocket based on its pick
