Hello Saaitk, I was recently tasked with selecting an AOI system for our company. We are a low to medium manufacturer as well. I looked at several different vendors and narrowed the field to Mirtec and Yestech. I found that the programming was v

Thomas, We evaluated several AOI machines and narrowed the field to two, YESTech and MIRTEC. We had an opportunity to work with both of these machines on our production floor. In our experience, the MIRTEC machine simply outperformed the competitive

Hello Barry, I have not had any experience with the Testronics bench top system. I did, however, evaluate MIRTEC, MVP, N-Spec and YESTech. In my opinion, the MVP was simply too complicated and took too long to program for a low volume high mix man

First, it's GREAT to have a long-term lurker posting here on SMTnet. Maybe this will encourage other lurkers to join us. [We'll try to be on our best behavior.] Second, while Stephen Pence's explanation of 'equivalence factors' is accurate, your con
