Ultimately you are trying to deal with technology that is 25+ years old. The Hydras and TM magazines of these days were not robust and functioned mediocre at best when they were brand new. Even if you use Agilis feeders the nozzles and the cameras ar

Hi, Yes, it was fun reading this thread again. We initially upgraded our MY9 to a MY12 with line scan camera, but it was still too slow. We considered getting a second MYDATA, but decided to go with some FuJi XP 142, and 242 machines, with a second

Sounds like Mydata might be one you could look at, for example. I don't have experience with them but they do have "smart" feeder capability. Some machines use electronically controlled and motor driven feeders, some use pneumatic and/or mechanicall

| IF anyone is placing 0402's with the Mydata tp-18 I would like to here how reliable it is(with these little buggers). | | | Thanks | | MD Cox | MD Cox, We have a TP11-UFP and were very skeptical about placing 0402's. We bought the feeder and

Hi, Even if you don't use vision or a HYDRA head, the MYDATA should still sense no component, and try 3 times by default. Also, if the MYDATA does not place the component it will not be marked as places, so the placement program won't ever finish. Y

We have recently started building assemblies containing 0402 components (argggg!!). Were using the TM8FC magazines and are seeing alot of miss-picks on the 0402 components. When the feeder advances the part, the part can; jump out of the tape, or tur

The recommended feeder for 0402s and especially 0201s is the green feeder with a 3.7mm spec. We use greens for 0402/0201, white for 0603, yellow for 0805s, and reds for tantalums. They work well, but sometimes you seem to get difficult tape. I hav

Yeah that is a drawback to those feeders. The plastic part that is mentioned in one of the responses is okay but you have to be real careful when pulling the tape out before you can put that part on. Mydata always says to leave the reel with the feed

The Agilis feeders are much more reliable than the old TM feeders. You can tweak the TMs a little bit, but, it can be a pain. Agilis have better repeatability, and built in y axis correction for 0402 and smaller parts. On the newer machines (My se

Hi, It's both really, and we are doing higher volume of current products, but new products are increasing in component count, mostly passives. We have analog on our products, and this uses a lot of passives, plus each semiconductor needs decoupling
