Hello, I recently purchased a used (obviously!) Siemens ms72a pick and place machine. This is an old unit, that was "run" by an old HP9000 computer, over IEEE488 bus. Also, the machine came with no (zero!) documentation ! (not one book!) Hav

Your best source of parts and info for MPM machines is PPM in New Hampshire. George, who is the oracle when it comes to these printers is no longer with the company, but either Ed Sullivan or Steve Brown can probably assist you. I had a UP1500 and

Hi Fasst1, Have Assemblion/Philips actually building machines for 20 years, or were they badged machines? (I'm not asking to be funny, I'm asking as I don't know) I've build product on Topaz's, Emeralds & Comets, and they have been good machines, b

I have been working with the UIC GSM platform for 6 years now in an EMS environment. Operating, programming, configuration, and line installation. I do not work for Universal or represent them in any way. UIC is a 1st rate company with excellent and

The Lightning Head on an Advantis Platform is a good choice. You should expect to see "Real Life" speeds around 20K, better accuracy than any Turret Style Machine, and the software is the same as any GSM,Genesis,Advantis machine using a Windows platf

Think you will find every mpm is operating on dos base software, just in the last 2 years have they got software with windows base. The mouse is related to the version of software, and the old software requires only one model of mouse. Give up tryi
