I would think the communication between the machine and feeder would be the main drawback, not sure if the manufacturer will give you info on how they do this.

There is no communication - a big cam hits the feeder & indexes it forward, then the camera looks at the nozzle to see if it got anything on it. The precision is the problem.

Even worse, you might be running into patents that prohibit you from building the same stuff they are. Might wanna check that first, because I doubt that Fuji or whoever will grant you a license.

There are definately patents in force for many feeder assembies. Specific mechanisms like waste tape take-up and sprocket indexing are covered by several patents. Fuji, Pan, Yamaha all have patents on the various aspects of their feeders. Best of

Quick note on Hover Davis, I am not impressed with their Fuji IP feeders at all. They short out and blow IC's up in the MFU's They sell their own feeder set up stand to tell whether or not you have a shorted feeder. What the hell is up with that ?

I have a problem with a Murata cap chip type resonator(ROHS). After the reflow process, the soldering joints flow to one side of the component. I did not have this problem with the leaded component. Did someone have a solution for this problem?

Gee Greg I did not know you have been in this for 20+ years. One would have thought you might have figured out how to design a machine that could sell more than 5 per year. or was it that many?

One more thing, check the serial connection to the PC in the back of the machine, If its intermitant, you will have all kinds of problems as well.

Look at the lubrication of the three shafts that move the stencil frame (lubricate both sides, up and down) Also check the belt that moves this assy is not loose. If too loose it may have "skiped" one or more of the belts creating this condition. Go

So far this is what I found and have not had any problems since. There was a big chunk of the belt torn halfway off and I had to cut part of it. Also there was a connector loose on one of the boards. Thanks for all of your advice.
