I couldn't be more pleased with Panasonic. We've upgraded from MPAV's and MSR's to CM602/DT401 and now their NPM platform. NPM's are extremely fast and accurate. Their auto pickup position teach is great especially if you're running any 0402 2mm pit

I've dealt with MyData, Assembleon, Fuji, and Juki over the last 9 years with the majority being MyData and Juki so I'll talk about them. MyData was very nice for high mix/low volume due to the ease of setup and smart feeders, but I felt like I was

tuckered pony I'm riding. Nearly two years off from the biz, and the place I landed is the place I sold a bunch of used equipment to while at my last job. It's deja vu all over again. Anyway, I'm a little more active with the placement equipment he

What we have had recently is a lot of larger thin (32 thou) thickness boards that have had issues with SC90 diodes bouncing off the pads in the final PNP machine. Our setup, universal instruments GC120 or quad beam 30 spindle lightning heads. This m

We use Quad IICs, and IVCs and love them. They can be expensive to fix, but they are pretty reliable. I think PPM is releasing Windows software for their rebuilt machines, although I think it was going to be exensive. Maybe they give it away with

0402 imperial? all those machines should be able to handle that. Even an old Quad 4C can place those. As others have said, availability of parts in your area will be the issue.

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

I am looking at buying a pick and place machine to assemble the circuit boards we make. Most of the boards are small (2 to 10 square inches), most are 2 sided, and have maybe 20-50 parts per side. I use mostly 0805/0603 chips, SOT-23, SOD-123, SOIC
