Hi All,

I have a series of snap-in radial TH capacitors that I would like to place using a pick and place.

Has anyone had any success using a universal platform machine? My thought is a custom vib feeder would present the parts just fine.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

thanks!

We've done some of this - paste in hole. O.K. success but really we prefer to do stuff on selective wave for best results. For your application, look at a high force head to place the snap in component. Additionally, you might find it more efficient to load custom matrix tray(s) offline.

thanks for the info SWAG. My thought was to use a GSM/advantis like a radial inserter or odd form place machine, after double side SMT. We run selective solder as well.

The parts I'm looking to place are snap-in electrolytics and radial inductors. Both have very consistent body size and strong straight leads, so it's worth giving it a shot.

thanks

Make sure that you have some feature on the part to get orientation check. We tried long time ago and it did work on GSM with 4 spindle. For us, setup the vision system was the challenge for correct rotation using vib feeder.
