There is standard pick and place equipment such as the Assembl�on (formerly Philips EMT) ACM Micro and AQ-1 that can easily handle your snap-fit through-hole BNC connectors, in addition to other surface mount components and through-hole odd form part

Wow. Never have, never would, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done. Mostly it just seems impossible to design a carrier clip that could hold both well...more likely it would hold one well and the other poorly, or both poorly. Anyway, is there

Kevin, There are a number of custom integrated systems that perform automated insertion of "odd" components. These system use either a robot or cantilevered X,Y,Z Cartesian motion systems. Our systems have accepted standard and custom component feede

Some things to consider 1. can one operator keep up with manual operations and not slow the line down? If yes, great. If no you will need a way to allow more than one operator access to the next board coming down the line to not create a bottleneck.

Of course, if the number of required component codes ( = feeders) is not very great, you might want to look into odd-form assembly machines. With them you can insert a much greater range of components than just simple radial components and you can ge

Yes, we have an old Universal axial and they still offer independent machines for axial, radial and DIP components, but I do not have the floor space for that. Some offer "odd form" insertion machines (Juki, Hanwha, Cenncorp)which is the direction I

The odd form assemblers are extremely slow compared to the Axial & Radial UIC machines. Also there is a big cost for feeders. Key question is what is the max axial & Max radial feeder count on your biggest job and that will quickly tell you how man

Look into an odd form placer. There are a number of manufacturer's out there, but it depends on the volumes that you are looking for to determine how cost effective. Odd forms can deal with bulk etc relatively easily....Buy a machine that is tailored

I know it is not a surface mount part but I really need some ideas. Does anyone know of an equipment mfg to insert ISA and PCI connectors? I would be interested in odd form insertion as well. Thanks, Kevin
