Mydata Automation placement machines support up to 35 alpha-numeric characters for reference designators in the program.

Have had a request from a customer who wants to use component reference designators of 6 or more charactors. They have a good reason for this from a design point of view but it becomes a problem at manufacture. Our machine (also MRP system) only allo

Craig, If you have a Juki KE-750/760, or the newer KE-2000s, it will support 8 characters for the designator. The older models only support 5 characters. If you have a KE-750 and/or a KE-760 and you can only enter 5 chars, then call you local Juki

You might want to look at a sequencer. It would be over kill but might work for you. If you trust the people to use the right resisters in the right places you could even program the entire kit of resisters. You would still have to cut to separate ea

That was my first tool I made for that purpose, a mini guillotine with marks showing quantities of 7, 11, etc, that they needed. Pull tape to mark, cut, repeat... After tens of thousands, it gets old. Also repetitive injuries became a factor.

No idea if something like this is available commercially, but it would be easy enough to make one for a few dollars using an arduino to control it. If you have a local MakerSpace ( or similar ), contact them and ask if they could come up with a solu
