Good tidings, all. I am looking for a machine that will allow us to mount a flat flexible strip (such as TennRich's B.Type) to a row of pads on a PCB. I have not much knowledge about the process, I guess I expect to see a machine with some hot bar.

If you are looking at a single machine, you are after a true "flexplacer". There are a couple of options it will depend a bit on the spped you want and how many different parts you need too load at once. Best: Europlacer Iineo for pure flexibility o

You should narrow it down more. Your list is easily achievable by most of the machines on the market. There are things like throughput, factory layout, traceability, number of operators to run the line, setup requirements, flexibility, product range

If you have decent volume with high mix or are a contract shop, the most flexible method is a software controlled router. Using pre routed boards with tabs is not a bad way to go but there is a price for the pre routing that may more than justify the

I'm not a Mydata user, but I know some people who have used them for prototyping. They swear by them for flexibility. I was at Mydata over by Boston a few years ago, and they had a refurbed machine there for about $50,000. If I remember correctly,

Amit, You are asking about limitations, but how did you narrow your equipment selection down to the D1 or D2 in the first place? These machines have many limitations versus other solutions. What are your main concerns for instance? Component range?

Hi Jeff I would recommend you to try unexpensive user friendly Juki Late Model KE760 series. you need a flexible machine that can handle components,fine pitch QFP. This machine is very unique. you can use even without an offline software optimizer,

Hmmm...The Juki machines are designed for high mix frequent change over. They are very flexible. I am not familiar with a JX100. We have KE2000 series machines. One of my buddies owns a small contract business. He has an older Quad. I believe it i

Thanks for the reply, Sr.Tech. Sure, I'm considering all of the things you've mentioned. It certainly seems that service and spare parts are easy to obtain for the Quads, which is the main reason I am even considering the dinosaurs (that and they ca
