Hi, MYDATA's are ok for lower volume, and they are very flexible. If you only have 1 or 2 trays of components and are on a tight budget, then you can even place the trays on the Y wagon behind the PCB so you can get away without the tray wagon. Al

It was apparent to me that because he was looking at a Topaz, not a Topaz X, and a TP, not a My9, that he's looking at older used machines. Is there a used Sony in a similar price range to the other two that will outperform them?

I have some alternatives that match up well spec wise with these two models. They are factory refurbished machines priced for quick sale. Contact me if you would like more info. Greg

To answer your question: During my experience with Topaz machines, we had to replace 4 Heads on different occassions with different operators involved. Also I encountered several Head crashes with Eclipse machines. To buy such replacements here in Ma

People not knowing how to use them...surely not my case........I have worked for more than 7 years with a Topaz and always performed the maintenance and repairs on my own without the assistance of field service engineers!!! Please respect cause I kno

MyData TP9s Work well in high mix applications because change over time from 1 job to the next can be done in as little as 15 minutes if you have the right mix of magazines/feeders. Component placement rates vary depending on which component you ar

A philips Topaz is a good machine, I have accurately placed 0402's without a problem, Fine pitch QFP no problem, BGA's not a problem, I am not familiar with the TP9 so hopefully the other guy can answere questions on that, The Topaz is rated at about

What about MY100? Its based on the same high speed hydra head just two of them. Do you not recommend those as well? Originally, I was looking at a MY9 before spending on a MY100dx. Certain things mydata do make it attractive but im a low mix, high

A My-9 which will hold 96 8mm will run you $150K. That's a refurbed unit directly from Mydata with feeders (magazines) and warrenty. I know because I recently priced one out. The Tp series is much cheaper in price but you sacrifice speed if that is

Hi, I would agree with that, and the second hand prices for a TP-9 is very low, and they use the same feeders as the MY series, so if volume ever increases there is an upgrade path. TP should be able to handle any component, and because they can p
