I am looking to replace our current smt line of a Contact 3S. This has been our only machine and we have had it for about 6 years. We are looking for 100 plus feeder capacity and 10k plus placement rate with a diverse component range. I am considerin

Aside from answering the obligatory "why on earth would you want to do this yourself?) pitches, you need to tell us more about what kind of packages (component body types....0201, 0805, QFP, BGA) are going on to the board, how many you plan on buildi
