Sorry, the AC-30 is the "Lightning Head" machine and the AC-72 is the flex placer. The price is correct. Was in a hurry to get home on Friday and reversed them in the sentence after the price.

Because I guess for almost years nobody else even came close to having an overlapping sales pitch. However, today, most brands have a "flex" placer, feeders that can take strips of tape and software options that help in some way with running smaller

Rip, When you say you are looking at Universal, I assume you mean the AdVantis AC-30L? Why go with another aging chipshooter like the 4796 or CP6, when the AC-30L can supply higher throughput, similar # of feeder inputs, larger component range,

Mimot is another machine that is well suited for prototype runs. It's slower than a chip shooter and it is really a flex placer. You can keep a lot of fixed feeders and it is pretty easy to set up. Operator interface is excellent and programming i

Hi Grant, You say your design are increasingly using more passives. Do you mean you're using more and more components per board or is it only the ratio passives/IC's that is shifting? And are you also increasing volume or is it just the component-co

If you are already getting an Advantis flex placer the AC-30 is a no brainer. It will also be a lot easier to balance the line than with another brand chipshooter. We have a video of ours running at http://www.adltech.com. We have had our first Advan

Hi Greg, We've used lots of machines over the years & seen lots of different tape related issues - the main one being snap off of the cover tape, usually due to too much glue, over entusiastic heat seal, or a feeder requiring maintainance. Also the

You should get good service support and reliability from all of them, provided your local distribution agent is a good one. In the UK for instance I would trust all 3 on that front but I would expect very different support pricing structures. Any ma

You may want to look at Universal Instruments as well. We had Assembleon, Panasonic and Contact systems equipment and decided to try to pick one platform for the future to simplify programming and training. We are a high mix CM that also does high vo

Hi, What do you mean by flex machines? You've hit the nail on the head with the cause of the problem, but I am interested in what you mean about flex machines. Are you talking about a machine that can change the placement head entirely? Our problem
