Yes, you are right, but I am still here! I went with Mydata - at least for now - rock steady, easy to use, etc. We were up and running in 2 days. Ok, so you watch it place and think perhaps you can personally go just as fast, but it does a fine job.

Surely the next stage would be to anchor the head & pick & place at the same time cutting out the time lost in movement, then add rotating nozzle windmills to speed up nozzle selection.... I'm just remembering all the nasty things reps said in the p

There is quite some difference with a fixed head versus a head mounted to a X/Y gantry. If the head can move, feeder tables and board are fixed. If the head is fixed, feeder tables and board have to move. Spinning a component around on a vacuum nozz

Our TP9 UFP machine keeps nicking the edges of A12 tool tips. I think it is because the X axis is bouncing when it comes to the component pick position. When the X bounces it is causing the tool to hit the tape hold down arm. Has anyone ever encount

The air kiss is to replace the vacuum with air so the part will drop off the nozzle. Every machine I've seen with Air kiss, uses it when discarding a part as well as when placing a part. The air kiss should not be strong enough to blow the nozzle off

Hi, I would agree with that, and the second hand prices for a TP-9 is very low, and they use the same feeders as the MY series, so if volume ever increases there is an upgrade path. TP should be able to handle any component, and because they can p

We have two APS Gold ovens and are acheiving an accpetable Lead Free profile. We still have to further qualify board widths/sizes to determine what are limits are and still be within the profile we need. For the most part you need more zones/longer t

We have this problem for a long time. It happens to 3 new Mydata MY-9 machine. When pick and place resistor array 0408 (different value, top and bottom side), the solder paste in the middle two terminals missing occasionally. Thought it's because noz

We have had this problem with one of our machine although it is not a Mydata. We had to reduce the blow off time for these. Our problem was also these same Rnet packages. the part is proabably picked a little off center, then the blow off hits the

(... so hard to resist... Rob is probably going to kick my derriere for this post...) So was Assembleon... They first placed a very large QFP (think it was 208) and then placed a whole bunch of 01005's in between the leads. And to top it off they al
