A component placer performance can be kept alive if proper maintenance is carried out regularly. During such maintenance, all functions including component recognoition and illumination levels should be verified and any wear-out part replaced if requ

Has anyone done study or have feedback on 0402 placement capabilities of Europlacer Vitesse? What kind of common issues were seen when placing 0402s with the machine? We know the machine is rated for 0402s but don't know how reliable it is. Rgds, P
