Board Handling Transfer Time (from “pins up” to “pins down”	2.5 seconds	4 to 5 seconds	“About 3 seconds”
Maximum Board Size	559 x 470mm (NPT) 483 x 406mm (PT)	508mm x 381mm	508mm x 381mm
Insertion Area	508 x 470mm (NPT) 483 x 406mm (PT)	508mm x 371mm	508mm x 381mm
Allowable PCB Thickness	0.79mm to 2.36mm	1.6 +/- 0.15mm standard The RHS II can accommodate a range of 0.8 to 2.0mm, however the PCB transfer rails must be changed for PCBs with nonstandard thickness. This is an option. Even when using the standard 1.6mm thick PCB, there are chances of lead length/angle variation which causes PCB transfer error depending on the shapes of boards and/or insertion holes.	1.6 +/- 0.15mm standard The RHS can accommodate a range of 0.8 to 2.0mm, however the PCB transfer rails must be changed for PCBs with nonstandard thickness.

Auto Recovery	Yes – Semi-Automatic	Yes – Interrupt Recovery Enabled (Automatic supply recovery function)	Yes – Interrupt Recovery Enabled (Automatic supply recovery function)
Component Replenishment	Any disp.head location can be spliced w/o stopping the machine.	Although this is a sequencer based machine, when a feeder is low on components, that feeder and the two adjacent feeders must be turned off before reloading or splicing additional components. If during the reloading process the machine requires components from those three feeders, the machine stops until the reloading process is completed by the operator.
Uninterrupted Power Supply	Standard. When the UPS detects a power interruption, its fully-charged battery can run the machine for up to 10 minutes.	No	No
Language	English is the main language, however Chinese, French, Hungarian, Polish, and Spanish are available for event messages.	Japanese/English	Japanese/Chinese
Machine Dimensions	80 Stations (In-line): W = 5428mm D = 3226mm H = 1746mm 80 Stations (Straight Back): W = 1800mm D = 6397mm H = 1746mm	80 Stations: W = 3125mm D = 2210mm H = 1560mm	80 Input Stations: W =Inches (3125mm) D = Inches (2210mm) H = Inches (1560mm)
Marketing Evaluation	3 years with more than 350 installed Radial 8 A machines worldwide, good public support. The Radial 8 XT is built on the same platform.	Brand new machine without marketing evaluation	Initial evaluations indicated that the machine was fragile, and required significant repairs. This led to the introduction of the RHS II within 1.5 years.
