Checked the condition of your nozzles? Vacuum ok? Dummy part picked from the same feeder position? Dummy part picked from the very same feeder? How often does this problem occur? How many dummys did you pick for comparison? Sometimes a feeder calibr

Good advises thanks. I'll go thru all nozzles and vacuum check today and tell the programer about PD's and nozzle vs shutter. Should I check at the same time all the vacuum filter ? For the placement test, we use the same feeder at the same position.

Hi Alex, I've seen 2 types of feeder test rigs for sale that cover CP6 feeders, one from Alternative - http://www.alternativesmt.co.uk and one called a GAM20 - I think it was ABtech Europe - http://www.abtech-europe.com. The GAM20 was about half th

Good point [engguy], and another thing; if you are using 1.3mm nozzle on a feeder that has a shutter opening of 1.0mm = problem. You could even damage the nozzle. So the main questions remain....

No production running till end of next week. I'll surely give you a status but i'm pretty sure we have also many bad feeders, working on it.

In your PDs you must specify a single nozzle size. Meaning don't assume that entering nozzle size max=1.3 and nozzle size min=1.3 forces the machine to use a 1.3. Nozzle size min is not used in the CP6 software (it only uses nozzle size max), there

Its mainly on the heavy hitters when the head is sitting over the feeder (Gold) and doing some multiple picks. Again this only seems to happen near the end of a reel. If we splice the reel is it picks perfectly directly after the splice.

Hi, we also use Advantis machines. Our software have a software option "Auto teach pick up position". This one is made exactly for not perfect feeders or reels. In case you have this option it could help you. you can set it for each part you want.

Check the spring tension on the reel holder. When the reels start running out of parts the spring can provide enough tension to keep the reel from spinning. I have seen this on some of the dual-lane feeders. Tape the spring back to verify. If this is
