That's why I put this in the context of PNP robots rather

Phew, I sure wouldn't want to hand solder 150 - 200 boards!  
Been there, done that, never want to do it again!
There are machines that can do reasonable lead pitch spacing 
without vision, using mechanical alignment.
My Philips CSM84 does 0.65mm lead pitch TQFPs quite well.  
One other detail is lead coplanarity.  The leads from the 
manufacturer are formed AFTER plating to all sit on a flat 
surface.  If the leads have varying solder thickness after 
removal, or are bent out of the seating plane by handling, 
that will also affect the ability to reflow solder them 
reliably.

Hello AJ, Al,

It took me a while, but I finally shipped the tapes to Raymond Stricklin.
I also have SunOS 2.0 tapes:

http://afterpeople.com/images/Image%20(31).tif

Al, check if these have been already images, if not I'll mail them to AJ.

BR,
Plamen

Hi, Plamen & Al,

I'm just catching up on some of these past threads involving QIC
cartridges.  What ever became of these Paragon tapes?  Were you able to
read them and archive the contents?

Thanks all,
