Crishan, You must be seeing an incredible amount of Attrition on this component if this is the case. You should most definitely be able to put in a Pick-up offset either at the machine or in the part data. aj

Regarding the issue of using a pick-up offset: I really can't see any benefit to this if the pockets in the tape are too large, since this means that you cannot be sure that the components always end up in the same position when the feeder indexes.

Is it possible to advance the feeder at shorter intervals? So every time the part is picked the feeder moves 2 times shorter movements instead of one long move? Just a thought.

For these type of connectors proper underside board heating, a customized nozzle and careful past printing are the keys to reworking properly. Pls contact BEST Inc at http://www.solder.net offline if you need someone to look at these for you. Regar

Hi All, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change just the ratchet wheel on a Fuji 8x4 feeder to make it 8x2 so we can run 0402 chips, or would we need to change other parts in the feeders as well?

All of the 402 parts that we use come on 8X4 reels; double check the part pitch on the reel.

Thanks, but we don't have the parts yet, I need to know if it's do-able before the parts arrive, or I'll need to buy 20 new feeders if the parts are packaged on 8x2 reels.

The machine is a CP-6. Thanks to all for the replies. We may be able to specify the packaging for the parts, but being a consigned kit, it depends on if our customer has already ordered them or not.

Fuji will not sell the reel by itself. also, you need to change the tape guide to 0.7 in order to place the 0402. Tape guide cost you almost a hundred bucks. I don't think it is a good idea to modify the feeder.

That Fuji won't sell the reel by itself is difficult to believe. Is there a part number assigned to the reel? If so...they will sell it.
