The Fuji flexible model is the XP, (Stay away from the QP!) but (as a previous poster mentioned) I'm used to the Bomb proof Chipshooters. They still make these and from memory I think they are around $350,000 each. They will place BGA's and reasona

Hi Greg, We've used lots of machines over the years & seen lots of different tape related issues - the main one being snap off of the cover tape, usually due to too much glue, over entusiastic heat seal, or a feeder requiring maintainance. Also the

There have been times when we could have done with having a Ken or 2; He may not always agree with everyone but he has demonstrated a very good process knowledge over all the time I've been using SMT net. Also I've never read one of his posts that w

The play of the tape is quite significant as I mentioned in an earlier thread. Tape width can vary between 8.1 +/- 0.2mm. Demos on 0201's are most likely done with 8.1 +/- 0.05mm tape. I guess you are referring to the cover tape pull, which can dispo

Dear Paul, My company carbide refurbishs these cutters for Sanyo/UIC chip-shooters as well as for Fuji CP machines. The trick is to add carbide and then precision grind to orginal specifications. I have done this for many customers, most recently Ce

Sam- It all depends on what and how many boards you're trying to build that will determine if gantry or turret is the way to go. I like gantry machines and have been impressed by their increased performances over the last few years but they still hav

The Advantis with a lightning head is less accurate at chipshooting than a Fuji CP643. That's progress? Yes it is a great platform for it's space & yes it is a good all in one package, and the IC aacuracy is far better than stated. But you run o

Hi Mika, I used to work for the largest chip cap manufacturer in the world, and by far the largest problem we would see was cracking due to incorrect z height adjustment on Chipshooters. It can also cause solderballs and bad joints by displacing th

Mark, How about a "line booster" such as the Universal AdVantis AC30L? The Lightning head provides a huge boost in throughput for your existing line, while also adding to the component range. One solution is to put it in the middle of a line to retur
