I am not a quad feeder mechanic but I woud assume your worst ones are dirty with sticking parts or have worn out parts. Perhaps Scott Heck could help you with parts, scotheck@aol.com I know he rebuilds older factory feeders to work with 0402s and 02

Check your pick height/depth. Check your feeder alignment. We run 0402s at 0.10 tact. We run 0201s at 0.20 tact, but only because I don't require any more throughput - I have placed them at 0.10 during testing, and there are companies that place th

I placed almost nothing but 0402 components on the Contact 3AV and 3Z machines I had. I will admit that there are better machines for placing 0402 components. Not sure why the 3AVX would perform poorly at 0402 placement. The feeders have a X & Y a

I doubt you will be able to get satisfactory results with 0201. 0402 is another story. When doing 0402 projects, we use only electric (MP) feeders and always at the same feeder slots (feeder teach done for each of them). MPF08 nozzle works fine. Also

Senior, below, is correct. THe narrow view camera has to be upgraded in order to place 0201 components. Also to pick the parts you need the 0201 feeders. These feeders present the part 0.3 mm higher than the standard 0402 feeder. The part pickup heig

I have not had the "pleasure" of placing 0402's, but I've heard stories about feeder calibration being extra critical and possibly required prior to every run depending on your placement equipment. Maybe someone with actual experience can comment on

Hi All, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change just the ratchet wheel on a Fuji 8x4 feeder to make it 8x2 so we can run 0402 chips, or would we need to change other parts in the feeders as well?

Dear Sir, We are having Fuji CP VI and 0804 feeders. Now in new boards we want to load comp. of package 0402 in the available feeders. Can any one tell us is it possible to convert 0804 type of feeders into 0802 by changing the gear which control pit

GSMs are great machines for many parts, but for the small parts you should look for something better and more contemporary. As it was mentioned in one of the previous posts, the feeder is a big key. I don't think there is feeder for GSM that can supp

Is ur smt machine not able to pick 0402 componets? We use Yamaha SMT for 0603,0805,ect. We just change nozzle and feeder in the same machine when 0402 is needed to mount. by the way, we use not only new machine but 2nd hand also. there is a few sma
