Well I was expecting some questions. If you have the most convoluted system out there, and its up for a while people will figure out how to use it. The thing with MySMTnet is that many people don't necessarily understand it. We had thought with th

Hi Steve I understand your point, the comments on the thread of which are slightly off of the original posted question but it still is handling. Handling is handling. If you pick up a board from one conveyor just to put on another conveyor that is

An effective method to compare the two machines is to go to each vendor's nearest demo facility. Go there with PWBs, components and board data. Find out from each vendor what the minimum board data they'll need- like X-Y Centroid, Theta and Reference

Yours is (12 thou x12 thou)/(2x(12 thou +12 thou)x5 thou) = 0.60 * Aspect=W/T for electroformed stencils SB GT 1.1 => Yours is 12 thou/5 thou = 2.40 So, we kind of think of what you�re trying do as maybe printing a 16 pitch QFP, which gives you simi

You really must be on a tight budget since most people will pay YOU to take these models off their hands. What is your budget for capital equipment? Zero? That said, I think you would be better served to step up a generation and look at MPA-3's inste

I have worked with Macola, MAS90 now BPCS ("B-Pics"). They are ALL expensive too. To me the MAS software had the best interface and was "easier" to teach an operator who needed to pull up a BOM for a job or to see about missing/short kit items. I

Tim, I cannot remember what model our T.D. wave was it was a small unit about 8 ft. long "tabletop" is what I call them. In keeping up with this thread I noticed a lot of T.D. support. So, I decided to backtrack and review history with my previous pe

Hi O'Conner, I hope you also tell us what Universal-GeorgeW discusses with you. It is a little strange seeing his name on this list and his phone number. Gee I can give you his email address but won't.. Again distance engineering is tough. I woul

Hi Pete, What you are describing is something that will happen regardless of feeder type or machine type. When taking off a partial reel there is the potiential to lose components. It is minimised by careful handling. Yes I would agree that the Myda

CAL Here is another perspective. Ask what is included in the setup costs, ie. programming, stencils, setting up part number bins, bill of materials, changeover time on the line etc, etc. Then ask how much time and costs the CM is allowing for each
