I'm looking for a tape and reel machine. Something like Q Corporation QMT 1000. Any ideas? bill@ietechnology.net

I recently purchased two used manual pick and place rotary carousel machines. They did not come with any literature and I've searched Google, this forum, and a few others with no luck. Does anybody know where I could find the owners/operator manuals

Hello Rob, We have reel hangers on our feeders as opposed to "buckets". The reels cannot be removed while the feeder is mounted to the machine. Thus splicing is not currently an option. As mentioned above, we felt that it is easier to remove the f

Some machines provide for replacing feeders while placing components. Search the SMTnet Archives for background discussion on tape splicing, while you're waiting for others to respond.

Hi Greg, Remember, splicing isn't just for when components run out - it's also for when you have to pull a part reel from stock, swap it across machines with different feeders, or when the tape snaps. Cheers, Rob.

I did not desire the manuals to learn how to operate the machines, rather I wanted to know technical data such as the proper PSI for the air supply lines.

Good machine! Just like most part libarys don't let the operators change part profiles. Haven't seen it place 0201's but 0402's have no problem. Tape splicing for the feeders is a problem. The eject wheel gets jammed with anything other than splice t

Splicing for us has been a rough go as we haven't really found a tool that works well/fast. We have a few different machines = different feeders. They all react different to a splicing "style". The best so far is a crimp tool that crimps a brass s

On our machines, the feeder release latch is designed such that the feeder goes offline (machine will not pick from it) before you can actually remove the feeder. This makes it virtually impossible to damage a nozzle or spindle. I'm not sure about

We usually program the components in the component database with pin 1 in the lower left corner. Then in the feeder database we set the component orientaion to 270 deg for Tray feeders(turn the tray in the feeder 180 deg) and "tube" feeders. For tape
