For Sale - Charmhigh CHMT560p4 and CHMT530p4 Machines

[gc.ga...@gmail.com]

We have a CHMT560p4 and CHMT530p4 Pick and Place Machine for sale. These machines are Charmhigh's "big-brothers" to the CHMT36VA machines commonly used in this group. We found these to be a big improvement over the 36VA on everything from build quality to speed, accuracy, and reliability.

The reason we're parting with them is that we're moving facilities near the end of this year and we've been using these less and less due to ordering volume runs through our CM. We are located in Southern Oregon, USA.

The machines come with a variety of electric feeders (all feeders listed are electric). The machines can be run with less expensive pneumatic feeders as well, but Charmhigh recommends these electric feeders for the absolute best performance/reliability.

Machine #1 - Asking $6,000

• CHMT560p4 - 60 feeder slots
  
• 27 x 8mm feeders
• 6 x 12/16mm feeders
• 1 x 24mm feeder
• 1 x 32mm feeder
• 1 x 3040 Stencil Printer
• 1 x T962a SMD reflow oven with Unified Engineering upgraded firmware installed
• 1 x Makita MAC100Q 58dB Quiet Series Air Compressor
  
• Feeder power supplies, various nozzles, miscellaneous accessories
  

Machine #2 - Asking $4,000

• CHMT530p4 - 30 feeder slots
• 24 x 8mm feeders
• 7 x 12/16mm feeders
• 1 x 3040 Stencil Printer
• 1 x T962a SMD reflow oven with Unified Engineering upgraded firmware installed
• Feeder power supplies, various nozzles, miscellaneous accessories

Machine #2 (if bought separately) will need a small air compressor which is used for the triggering of the feeder progression (the electric feeders sense the pressure change to start the next feed). Other then that both machines include everything needed to run as well as stencil printers and reflow ovens.

If there are any questions please feel free to ask.

Hi - 

 

I'm up in the Seatlle area, have a 48VB.

 

Does this take the same programs as the smaller machines, or would we need to reprogram?

 

Have they been reliable for you?  I like the idea of changeable feeders.

 

Regards,

 

    Brian

Hello Brian,

The files are a very similar format (at least to the 36VA), but I think you will likely need to regenerate or at least modify your files for the 530/560p4. For example we had to rotate all parts 90 degrees for the 36VA because of the feeders being on the side, when we went to the 530/560 (because the feeders are straight on) we removed that offset from our file generation. There likely were other minor things we had to change as well, but I can't recall.

However, conceptually you should feel right at home coming from the 36VA style machines. There's also some options that we found that weren't available to us in the 36VA software we were running. Many of which, like individual (per feeder) vision thresholds, were really useful to us.

In terms of repairs I think we replaced a 12v fan in one of the machines and a feeder power supply (external to machine), so pretty minimal. In terms of reliable feeding/placement it was a very noticeable improvement over the 36VA. The 36VA feeder system is really clever, but the standalone feeders are in our experience a lot more reliable by themselves.

Changeable feeders was one of the motivators for us as well. It worked particularly well for us as we (by design) reuse many of the same parts on different designs.

Let me know if you have any other questions. You can also select "Reply to author" from the 3 dot menu if you want to direct message.

Thanks for looking,

-Garrett
