Hello everyone, We're a CM that utilizes both the Zenith AOI and 8030 SPI platforms. High mix, relative low volume so we're told by KY that our library is very large comparative to their other clients. Of all the SMT equipment we own, the KY softw

You want 1)Used 2)dirt cheap 3)no hassle. Item 3 is mutually exclusive to items 1 and 2... On a more serious note, both Juki and UIC make excellent equipment which is why there are so many dinosaurs still in the field. There are plenty of people in

Quad didn't go out of business because they made stellar machines, but if you are running the same board all day long, you can get it dialed in where it's repeatable and reliable. Spares aren't expensive (at least by comparison)and there are lots of

Here, there are two possibilities - either it is a new board to us (ie built elsewhere previously) or it is a new product for the company requesting the build. If new to us only, ask for a sample PCB. You will need CAD data for pick & place machines

Be careful about used AOIs, some of the companies have truly outrageous registration fees (ten, fifteen grand) without which you can't get support or parts. 2d AOI is of pretty limited utility other than detecting a wrongly mounted reel during plac
