We are using EKRA E5 and X5. Both of them are rock-solid and easy-to-use machines. Software of these EKRAs are really user-friendly. If you make the yearly maintenance and preventive maintenance they will work for years. I know a factory where are ar

I will sell my X5 soon, in September, as my scheduling comes true. Used EKRAs have really good price because they are good printers. I saw most of them between 4000-20000 EUR depends on configuration and vintage. My E5 was around 8k€ 10 years ago, X

It is really strange you don't have EKRA on your list. EKRA are really good for protos and mass-production too. We have E5, X5 and two X4Prof. X4Prof are lasting forever if you handle and maintenant them properly. ESP001 and Simplex softwares have t

Snap off is an option to make distance between PCB and stencil. If the distance not enought, adjust the PCB thickness too. Mostly we don't use snap off, I more prefer if the stencil is tight with the PCB - I know, this make the stencil lifetime worst

We have X5's. You are able to turn inspection on/off on the screen. Obviously an older machine running XP. I have never had a bad experience with ASYS support. I usually call our regional Field service rep. Where are you located?

We run 2 lines: Line 1 has a Dek 265, GL5, CP43, QP242E, and Heller 1900W; Line 2 has an Ekra X4, GL541, CP643E, QP242E, and BTU VIP98N oven. Soon both lines will have new Ekra X5 screen printers and the BTU replaced with another Heller. Works for us

I am using SiPlace S20 and F4 machines. Both of them handle 0402 without problem. A newer machine, like S23 or S25HM is way better and accurate, S27HM can place smaller parts too. We are using EKRA E5 (2000) which can print this size without issues.

Hello! Go on the Service Button (bottom right) password could be 2211 or 9060. In that menu you should be able to change direction. Please tell me if it works! Bye Christian
