Not trying to be negative but MYplan or MYlabel are not really going to help you with this. The most they will do is tell you what you already know: the reel is on another machine. Instead of dropping 5 to 10k on software think of how many reels you

Update: We have bought more reels to cover both lines and it has helped enormously. There were about 100 part numbers that were used on both lines over 300 times per year. The majority of them were less than $20.00 a reel. We have also been using My

Greetings, Does anyone know where to find a tape and reel flatness specification? Looking at the EIA 481-B standard, there is no reference to the tape flatness (the images shown may "imply" flatness from one side of the tape to the other, However I

Hello, I am looking for a machine that can cut terminals on a reel efficiently. We buy some of our terminals on reel because it is significantly less expensive than buying them in bulk packs even with the added labor of clipping them off one by one.

My company uses both Juki electric and mechanical feeders. Yes, electric feeders are much more efficient than mechanical as far as pick speed and general feed speed. However, if a reel runs out, it usually takes our operators under a minute to change

Thank you all for your feedback. While the new smart reel towers are the ideal, we simply cannot afford them or better pnp equipment at this time. However for the short term, probably putting colored stickers on the reel edge folded over so it is vis

First, you cannot measure capacitors once they are soldered onto the board. Second, why must you measure? Verify your machine set up by using intelligent feeders (if your machine has them) or a checklist, preferably by two people. If you cannot trus

Hi, I have an older Samsung pick and place (CP-40LV model). During last few runs I have experienced several feeders with the clear plastic tape cover not peeling back to expose the next part. I manually pull back the tape and it runs for a while and

Keep some empty tape and splice a long enough piece onto the foot of the tape to keep the strip and the reel connected.(Brass shim type splice being the most reliable) Or Print 3.5mm labels (Brother PTouch make one this size) and stick those onto y

I have several reels of components I purchased from Chinese source. During pick and place, the tapes keep breaking (they tear diagonally along the reel). I notice the tape is very tight if I try to pull through manually. I tried several over 12mm fe
