We are high mix low volume company and we use a MYDATA TP9. Very good machine that can place 0402's effectively. Issues we've had include: Maintenance - It is an older machine so, it has needed a little more than I care for. Cost of Feeders and Maga

Mydata are OK, but they will not last as long as the Siplace if running the same volume. They are easy to programme, change over & upgrade - they are very good entry level machines. One thing to remember is that they make use of large scale gang pi

Jack, Well, there's always doing it locally on the machine. There's also an old excel macro floating around that will help...it takes the x,y,theta information, and generates a pick and place program. However, we never had much luck with it here

I had the same problem back in March with my MY12, since I have two identical lines i swapped things around until swapping the x-wagon motor (the one for fine movements). When I swapped the x-motor I move the problem from one line to the other gener

If you go with a Quad from PPM, I believe that they've developed a windows interface for the machine. They also have a couple of old Quad people working there for continued support. --I receive no benedits from PPM, but I am a happy customer-- We

On average year how much problems did you have with mychronic? They have some features that are appealing to me that other manufacturers don't do: front feeder loading system, fit through a 36" door, no air compressor make it desirable for offi

Rob, I actually work for Philips / Assembleon. We have had machines out in the field for 18+ years that are still in production. The customer I mentioned has had the gear for 4 years. They also do multiple changeovers every day, and each one take

Brad, I went through the arduous process of selecting new P&P equipment last year. I looked at all of the same machines you are considering in addition to Juki and Europlacer. We are a high mix low volume shop as well and were running Quad "C" mac

Hi, I think it's a good choice for a startup, and if your finding it's accurate enough. We only went Fuji because of our volume, and small errors were adding up, but if I was starting from nothing again it would be MYDATA because I could not afford

Interesting suggestions so far - keep 'em coming as I do a search on every one of them. Speaking of, it seems that if the humongous size of the older MyData machines isn't an obstacle then they seem to be a good choice for us... (to recap: we need t
