Hello, We have also used an antistatic ESD mat cleaner as you described and it works well. Fortunately, this issue does not happen often.

What is the humidity level in your facility? We maintain ~40% year round and never have any issues regarding ESD from cover tape peeling.

I soldered a wire in the tape press lever of th feeder, so as to create a small gap where the cover tape passes and the component doesn't: in this way the component is pushed down in the pocket as soon as it tries to follow the cover tape. regards,

Could this wire be helping by a second means, becuase it is grounded to the feeder it may be discharging the static at the point it is being produced? If so it could be bent to contact the film and not scratch the LED lenses.

Found a company that builds modified tool tips for my9 with stainless steel tip. we are going to try one and seen if it helps on placing the 0201 components. the rubber tip just gets damaged too easy and components stick to it do the solder flux.

Yes, it OK to mount axial PTH component as radial PTH, if that's what you're asking. * There are no rules for orientation. Pick something and stick to it. We like to be able to read the component value / orientation from the top towards the board.
