Tools of the trade / Re: High speed Pick & Place for $3600

November 21, 2014, 05:40:54 pm

I just got TM240A directly from Neoden.
I was able to get first run in couple hours and it looks like solid machine.

But I am still getting a lot of dropped and misaligned parts that I have to figure out.

My main concern is that it only have 21 8mm tapes.
Changing tapes is a pain, but keeping multiple jobs is not possible because of it has very limited number of tapes.
I am considering to sell it as soon as I see a reliable replacer machine with 50+ tapes.

[quote author="ideaman"]Does anyone have experience with the CHMT36 from Charmhigh CNC ($4,380 on AliExpress)? They claim it is an upgraded version of the TM240A.[/quote]

CHMT36 review is no good:

I was going to buy it, but ended up getting TM240A

This is very disappointing news, I was really looking to order this machine... :(

Is there a clutch on wheel that may be has too much friction on these wheels instead of adding friction to the tape itself?
I guess I will hold for now. $5K is large chunk of cash to waste...

@xinort
Can you tell me where did you get it and (if you don't mind) how much you paid for it?
I see some on sale at AliExpress for $4880 shipped to USA

I am debating if I should get this one or TM240A.

Also did it come with any spare parts? Neodentech is offering spare parts kit that I am not sure if I need it.

I am glad you mentioned a misleading fact that 37 feeders is actually 29 tapes + 8 trays that is pretty much the same as TM240A

Any feedback on this machine?
In addition to the improvements above, it appears to have 37 tapes - more than TM-240A and almost $500 cheaper than it.

Can somebody point me to the sample code or manual on how to use both heads at the same time?
