Thanks! Well, the procedure in the book says to first calibrate the mech aligner with the beam sensor, but that exceeds the X travel. I guess you can just eyeball it off the nozzles and then use trial and error. While poking around on the machine

I am still learning the CSM84, but have gotten one board programmed and working. Now, I'm doing the next board, and need to use the mechanical alignment unit for a 22 x 22 mm TQFP. This chip is too large to clear the jaws on any head. Can the CSM h

The Juki tape feeders are mechanically actuated. There is a knock pin on the bottom of the feeder bank that will push up to advance the feeder.

Has anybody else noticed a problem with Assembl�on's mechanical 12 mm feeders, with 4 mm pitch? We are experiencing grave pickup problems with a MELF diode packed this way and fed with this type of feeder. If I attach a hefty weight to the blister ta

Is anyone aware of any manufacturers of kapton dots for masking boards that come on tape with feed holes punched on the side? It seems like it would be pretty easy to modify a standard feeder to to do labels if the carier was punched for a standard f

I am trying to understand why most manufacturers don't offer mechanical feeders anymore? I find them easier to use, easier to maintain/fix. Most importantly they are A LOT cheaper! Electronic feeders are very expensive especially when you need 100

Does anyone know the mechanical differences between a TPsys 1.6 version feeder and a 1.4. I only need to have one feeder for the 1.4 machine and would modify a 1.6 feeder if that is an option. Otherwise, does antone have a 1.4 version feeder they w

Just purchased a new KE3020 from Juki with mechanical feeders. They do offer electronic feeders but did not try to push them on us, they are not cheap.

CP6/7 feeders are mechanical indexing machines, and the springs, cams etc wear over time leading to misfeeds & increased attrition. You can just strip & repair but especially on the 8x2 feeders the pick up position is critical. John, I'd check with

As part of the evolution, electronic feeder has a lot of advantages - precision, programming and speed. If you build low volume easy boards you can probably stick with the mechanical feeders. For challenge and volume, I would suggest you move on to t
