Steve, Use the 1000 as a chip shooter only (and thats if it works once you turn it on). If you have problems with the 1000 just post questions as i am one of the last guys on the planet that knows that machine (and its been a while since i have worke

It wouldn't be that many placements (billions) since we are a low volume high mix shop but we have placed 100s of thousands with the N08 for sure. We use the N045 by far the most since we seem to be an 0603 and smaller type shop (probably into the m

No one can stop you from making feeders. But unless they are better and cheaper than the OEM you will not be successful. Feeders look simple(CP4 for instance) but there are many underlying design concerns that are not apparent to the naked eye. Yo

I wouldn't worry about patents except for those types of feeders which have patents such as the MyData Agilis feeders. I would worry about cost of tooling for $tampings. Long time for ROI there. Also pay attention to the burr side and shear side of

At least cut your teeth on something that doesn't accurately offer up a device 1mm x 0.5mm every 0.09 seconds. There is precision & there is precision. A lot of cash has been spent by a lot of people on trying to make decent 3rd party fuji feeders,

Aim offers excellent soldering fluxes. That said your probably dealing with the local representative. The FIRST question to ask when evaluating any chemistry is "What is the Availability of the flux". Distributors don't necessarily stock all of a man

Hi Folks, My boss has me chasing mischuck figures and I need some stats for a report. All of my machines are humming at over 99% efficiency so theres no major loss there, but still there is a huge descrepancy between stock after its been through ou

This 10 - 20% loss, is it 20% of 10 parts or 10,000? How many parts are lost from a "Perfect feeder teardown"? For example our Samsung 8mm feeders lose 8 components on 4mm pitch every time the cover is released. So if we had an 8 piece run that re

How are you counting parts back into stock? If it is an estimation then that could be your problem. One place I worked, the stockroom estimates were usually double what the lead hand would estimate. If you are using a counter then your rate is probab
