If you have a newer style MPA like the MPA-G3, check out http://www.hoverdavis.com/Products/mpp/mpp.htm I find them much better than the panasonic feeders. You may have to set pitch to 2 or 3 because of timeing issues, or you can change the NC progr

While on the topic of feeders I would like to ask a question about the Mydata Tube or stick feeders. Due to a shortage of metal forks for the tube feeders we are forced to improvise and use what ever size of fork is available. This is done by notchin

Kevin, There are a number of custom integrated systems that perform automated insertion of "odd" components. These system use either a robot or cantilevered X,Y,Z Cartesian motion systems. Our systems have accepted standard and custom component feede

For a general rough rule of thumb I use Practical Components for programming our machines. Practical has a nice layout of most Tape and Reel components and sizes. We use this mostly for tape/ feeder allocation. But for QC, Specs, and Other Stuff we
