I would like to know if there are any other major, high quality, and capable custom component tape feeders for surface mount components? So far the only hit that I get, over and over, is Hover Davis, does anyone know of any other good options in thi

Radial Leads (I've had IIs, IIIs, and Vs) do the job nicely, but they need weekly maintenance to keep them running. I don't know if you can get parts for them or not if you're not registered with UIC, but you WILL need parts for it. You will need al

I have to agree with Fastek on the issue of having someone with enough experience or with proper training. Having knowledge and being flexible about tweaking the machine to make it work thats all you really need. We used to call it black magic. I use

If you have'nt had the pleasure of working on these machines, plan on spending a few weeks in Binghamton to get the basics, this will just get you started. I've worked on these machines for more than 20 years and am presently training two of my guys

If you can, put a pressure tank near the machine. It will help stabalize the air pressure, but only if the compressor is providing enough air in the first place. Throughhole PNP machines tend to take air in big gulps making the pressure go up and dow

Any experience with the encoders and ball screws that drive the stage? We are seeing a pretty large y-drift from the 'top' to the 'bottom' of the board during x-travel. I've tried to measure this using the teach function and the x-drift from the sm

We have used many ways of measuring but all are either messy, inconsistent or time consuming. We have done wet, glass slide dry, etc. We are currently using a kapton tape dot system. Spray the board, remove the dot and measure it, subtract the thick

We have issues with these also. They need to be flat to solder well. Reduce the square under the part for the heat sink and youll improve yields. That pad keeps the part lifted high while the other smaller joints reflow and partially attach. You can
