Make sure you fully understand your own products requirements. How many components of each feeder type they will require? How many Feeder slots those feeders will require? How different each product is and how that will affect changeover times - whic

I'm very sorry I did not see this reply earlier. It's been almost a month and I hope you get to read this! I really like your idea of a *personal* electronic circuit factory. You should try getting schools to buy it, because students will love the o

We used to use the Tapesplicer tool available from http://www.tapesplice.com (Sierra Electronics), in a high mix, low volume environment with MyData's (older feeders). Short review: It worked. Longer review: First, technique is everything. Splicin

There are no BGA rework stations in that price range that I would consider for purchase. (or did you miss a zero in your cost estimate?) In order to have placement, and sufficient heating for proper BGA rework (top and bottomside)you're going to hav

Many thanks for the (very) useful and honest answer. I had thought that £1000 was too little, but we don't have a local supplier, so have to rely on internet descriptions. There appears to be many machines out there described as "BGA replacement mach

If you are considering MyData (a fine choice) I would also consider Europlacer. They are in many ways, machines designed for similar markets with slightly different approaches and advantages. I would suggest much of your experience with Manncorp woul

I'm surprised MyData is pushing the service call. They're usually pretty good at walking you through some troubleshooting steps before going straight to the service call. So, the failure sounds like an encoder failure; the encoders are attached to

I have experience with an essemtec pick and place machine that I also had to deal with minimal training. I had no prior experience in pick and place programming and we had the technician for 3 days of training, but out of the package the machine didn

I don't quite understand how these two very different machines would end up on the same shortlist. They are very different machines with very different markets. A Europlacer IINEO is very very flexible platform designed for rapid changeovers and comp

Hi, I had Assembleon machines for many years, and worked through a total of nine of them. Three years ago we began to look at the short-comings we had, based on the machines capabilities. We started to look for a new SMT platform that could improve
