Dear SMTnetters, I've been told to have a look at finding a machine that could mill the leads of all PTH components to a certain height on an assembeled and soldered PCB. PCBs should be inserted in one side of the machine and come out milled on the

Thank you Mr Fish and Operator. All these machines seem to be manually controlled though. At least it gives me an idea of what is in the market.

You also need to understand when using something like a Q Cutter you should resolder the board after you cut! Your alternative is to get someting that when you put your part in it cuts and clinces the part. Contact Systems makes machines that present

I have done this in a past life. In my mind this is a step backwards. If all of your parts are placed by hand it will work.You will need to cut at the top of the solder to keep the leads form bending If any parts are auto inserted you will need to c

YV100, easy... YV112 uses a dual work-area, dual gantry machine in which the gantry does X and the PCB-table does Y movements. Also each gantry can only work on one PCB work-area and can pick form only one side of the machine. Basically you have two

I am currently contemplating the purchase of a pcb prototyping machine. The machine will be used to prototype some patch antennas, microwave circuits, embedded systems, boards for various surface mount chips evaluations, possibly milling PZT materia

We currently use both machines side by side in our lab now and LPKF is by far the better machine. Both are comparable systems to each other but the T-Tech machine always seems to have problems of some sort and their tech support department isn�t ve

We have been in contact with HK Yush out of Shen Zhen that is marketing an SMT metal laser cutting machine similar to the LPKF 6060 series (IA Tech SC-6060). Apparently there are no customers in the US. Does anyone in SE Asia have experience with th

I'm in the market, also, but vasilating over cost vs performance. I've also used both. In general, the LPKFs have more bells and wistles. On the LPKF S62, I love the tool magazine, and vacuum table. And, the fiducial recognition camera is great o
