I am looking for some equipment with a fairly undemanding capability. I would appreciate pointers to potential suppliers. Dispense size 0603 chips only, speed can be as low as 60 chips per minute. Only one type of component (ie one reel) is loaded.

If you are using a well maintained chip shooter, you should not see more than 1%-2%, and that is on the high side. Most pick and place machines (depending on what they utilize) with laser, vision, mechanical centering will most likely reject a diffe
