Hi @protoneer,
Does it work similar to the TVM802 where the machine connects to a PC via Ethernet and two USB camera's?
Yes - save to say that the PC is mounted into the 920 [MiniITX format] and therefore you'd expect a somewhat more predictable result in line with what the QiHe engineers receive. In the 802 for example I see users claiming very different results from the same version of the SW App.
Only had a quick look and not certain that the cameras are necessarily USB interfaced.
Does it need an external vacuum pump as well or just a compressed air source
The 920 requires an external compressed air source - moderate in capacity.
We are intending to use the small Rolair 10Ltr silent model - ~AUD$400.
Does anyone have a photo's of the insides of the machine? (How easy is it to service PC and electronics)
Super easy to gain access - 1 panel on each side of the lower section of the machine, but I'm hoping not to be 'in there' all that often - but with plenty of space to 'move' if required.
Does any CL feeders work with the machine?
I'm not certain of the origin of the CL naming and design, but for the price they are available, I'd only really consider acquiring 'new' feeders. ~USD$55 8mm size. These follow the Yamaha design.
How well does the vibration feeder work?(When running the machine are they always on? I take it,its just a normal front/back feeder to the machine cause the software does not mention any special settings for vibration feeders)
I ordered one Vib Feeder but haven't put it to use yet.
Your assumption that it is always 'on' is correct - it has no logical interface with component selection.
What I have done is get them to place a Pwr Socket on the Front and Rear panels of the machine to supply the Vibe Feeder to spare those extra cables trailing around the place. I'm certain it could be interfaced into the 'system' if required, but I doubt I'll need to do that.
@thommo , what stencil printer would you recommend? I have been looking at the QH3040
That's the printer I selected also. Can't 'recommend it because I've not used it yet, but build quality looks really good and it seems to be 'fit for purpose'.
Given the situation, it all seemed easier to deal with a 'single source' in QiHe that to order the same [or similar] item independently. Also I figured I'd have some 'comeback' and clout with QiHe than another supplier if required.
