We have a line running GSM1 machines and we are considering upgrading to GX-11S machines with FJ3 heads. Does anyone know if the GX-11S machines can take pneumatic feeders from the GSM machines? We have a very large inventory of the pneumatic and ele

Cheers Greg, It's unusual to have such direct access to manufacturers & their opinions. I'll tell you what really does get us, and splicing doesn't work well on these occaisions - big SMD connectors, requiring deep pocket feeders. You only get m

Hey Greg, As you already pointed out yourself: unless you can do away with covertape pickup-spools (or can figure out a way to empty them without loosing tension on the covertape) your feeders will not be suitable for several consecutive splices. S

Dr. Lou, I wouldn't recommend the Quad QSP series. A stated before it's old tech, and the feeders are junk. If your looking at Tyco (Quad), they have a new Mirae 1025P platform. It's very competitive performance/price against Assembleon and the li

Hello all, I am looking for a general opinion on splicing tapes. It has always been my opinion that splicing was an after thought for the machines that did not allow feeder removal and replacement during machine operation. If the machine has the ab

Thanks, Deni! We're replacing two 4-spindle GSM's with two GX-11S with Flex3 front and IL4 in the rear. These we plan to use a mix of our pneumatic & 24V feeders as well as high speed feeders as we acquire them. The sellers advised that the 24V kits

Here's my 2 cents worth.....as if anyone cares??? Spend: 1 million for a machine = 1 million in R&D on the machine 100,000 for a machine = 100,000 in R&D on the machine. if spending the 100,000, then you need to hire a qualified engineer to maintain

These ovens maintain good profiling as long as you stay on top of maintenance. I had 4 150's and 1 125. The biggest headache is keep the plenums cleaned (very messy). Also the blower motors have been replaced a few times on them as well. If I were yo
