Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have posted a similar question on this subject (Chipmounter Plancement Speed). Does the 60% inclusive of the PM and Downtime ? I also find that line balancing also plays a part. For example the Universal GSM II

I know it's a dumb question but have you tried swapping feeders or getting them all checked? (Possibly not indexing accurately). I only suggest this as the CP's are turret, and have to take the component where it is presented, with no adjustment,

Dreamsniper, We would need much more details about your process to help you to determine the source of voids. Type of paste, how long you leave your paste on stencil, your relative humidity, reflow profile, type of oven, oven environment (N2?) and so
