I respect your statements about the FCM-I but only partially. Yes it was meant for ONLY HIGH VOLUMES, but in those cases, it has proved to be a masterpeice. Talk to those who've used the machines for 70000 hours or so. I have customers here that're u

Rob, I also appreciate the banter. It is good to have these discussions with end users in a (hopefully) non sales environment. Philips actually started building Pick and Place machines in 1980 for high volume accounts. They started out because th

Sorry Pete (and others), they do have em'. Back side of the oven. Open the doors with the power supply switch and it's right next to the power relay. Little digital ones on the Omni Flo series. Nope, our company is selling the ovens and several i

If your have enough hours on a machine that you have all the windmills off for maintenance, it would seem to be a good thing to check this height. It would take only a few minutes to put a dial indicator in and manually crank the machine to the botto

Panasonic and Fuji made their reputations in this business with their chipshooters. These are bullet proof machines that will perform admirably in the field for decades hence their reputation cannot be argued. However...what they are building today a

Hi, Oh, never noticed this old comment, but now the threads been revived i can comment. I have actually owned three MYDATA machines over the duration of the last 6 years, and they all had accuracy problems. It depends on what your doing, but we got

Do you have any parts dedicated on the machine? 100n 0603 or 0805 is probably used on almost everything you build. So why take it off and put it on the machine several times a day. Even if you dedicate only 20 parts to never come off the machine, tha
