I would suggest contacting some refurb companies depending on how much volume you are talking about. From my experience, I would look at Fuji (very good equipment), Seimens (flexibility) or something like MYDATA. Fuji's tend to run towards the high e

Hi Grant, Does the Flex mag have the corect pal chip in it? Some of the early Flex mags had tm8 pal chips in them. On the machine this did not have much of an effect (it did at one time allow you to have the hydra pick from the flex because the mach

The recommended feeder for 0402s and especially 0201s is the green feeder with a 3.7mm spec. We use greens for 0402/0201, white for 0603, yellow for 0805s, and reds for tantalums. They work well, but sometimes you seem to get difficult tape. I hav

Steve, We run Mydata's with CircuitCam, so we do not have the "problem" of having to seperate one build into two programs. We just use more magazines/feeders on the machine. But I can imagine your situation. I think to get around this is that you wo

Good Morning, We have 5 My machines. We process 0402's daily and have not seen any accuracy issues. We are also processing 0201's, 01005's (although not often thank God!), Micro BGA's, CSP's, etc... Definately not the fastest machines but very flex

I've run into mysterious light curtain errors before and what was happening was when the head moved across the top of the components one of the clear tape covers would flutter up and trigger the curtain then it would settle back down on top of the ta

Louie, We'd be interested in your experience with the stainless centering jaws. We just ran a job with heavy 0402 placements, and had a rough time with it. After much work on the package, magazine centering, etc, I've concluded the issue is the ce
