| | Phil - The C Series machines do not support adaptive pick. If you get a chance, take a look at the the Q Series product line from Quad. I think that you will be impressed. I worked with L&W for a number of years. There has been a great relationship between our two companies. It may be time to consider upgrading some of your older C Series machines to Q Series products. The good news is that all of your 1200 tape feeders work on the new products. Give me a call some time at 732-728-0951 and please say hello to Joe and Jay. Merry Christmas to all at L&W! | | | I believe Quads, in our factory, are on the phase out list. Philips puts out some great products which have been recently introduced in our two plants. I was certently impressed with the capabilities! Especially the CSP lighting options. In my 4 years with LWG I have never seen so much tollerence directed at down time due to electrical / mechanical failure. than with our Quads. Since the introduction of our 3 Fuji's , reliability has taken on a new meaning. | Bravo!
I have worked with Fuji and Panasonic for many years. Before that time, I worked with Quad. Who hasn't that's my age? I can only applaud the former. No further comment on the latter required. Most people hear and know it all as the same old rhetoric.
Recently, I was introduced to Philips. Outstanding! No down time and almost bullet proof while being easy to program and operate. Excellent everything especially "Emerald and Sapphire" With even the later versions (Constellation Series) of Orion and Eclipse behave as the Gem series. Though the names and colors don't improve my appetite, nothing more need be said except life is good when processes are manageable.
