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

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.

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

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

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

I would like to understand what different options people are using to place low volume / odd form parts. I am very familiar with the tweezers / vacuum pen method however this can be less than desirable. I am looking into a manual pick and place to

Ken, Thanks for the info but I do not see where this addresses my main concern of placement using an alternative to the tweezers and keeping the board on the conveyer. Please let me know if I am missing something. Thanks, Kevin

Kevin, I saw a few months ago in a Philips pamphet that they now have a "tray" that sits at the feeder locations for loose components or a small tape of components. I think it was for the Topaz machine.
