For pick and place, I have worked with the Zevatech machines and Philips machines. Both are great machines. The Zevatech will give you greater speed and still offer great accuracy and repeatability. Don't let the belt drive stuff scare you, it sta

Hey folks... been reading the threads here the last couple of weeks and don't seem to be getting any smarter (and given my level of ignorance about this equipment, I was sure I could only go up from here...). I've been an independent design engineer

Bobpan, thank you for your speedy response. As to the items you noted: 1. I did a test of Funct 30 for the first 5 nozzles, 2 times each as follows: noz1 Ht=215 & 219, center=1005 (all nozzles all tests), run out 2.2 & 2.7. Noz2 Ht=228 &228, runout=
