I think with any feeder your going to loose parts. After running the five most popular pick and place machines all I can say is, TAPE. Have your operators tape the reel after they remove it from the feeder. It coasts more in ESD tape and it�s a pain

HI Brad, I'd stick with QUAD, I believe they are no longer known as quad. It's what you know, a different brand would mean learning it and the time to do so. I've never seen any problem with QUAD, that could not be resolved. The C series is kinda ol

We're not familiar with your DYMAX #984-LVUF. The problem is not with your conformal coating. The problem is with your 0805 [and not all of 0805, probably just those from a specific supplier]. This lack of coverage of components is called dewetting
