Just as an option you might want to look at Assembleon also. They have an adaptive base that allows you to run the GSM feeders on the new MG machine, which is faster than the UIC machine. I do not work for Assembleon just wanted to mention it.

Last year I was told by an Assembleon engineer that they sold a bunch of MG machines to a previously Universal-house. They (US-based, forgot their name) kicked out their Universals because the tracability system was missing beats. Something you may w

Oh yeah I saw Trans Tec is offering support for the Yamaha made Assembleon machines. I believe this was the GEM series and the MG series that replaced them so they may have some as well.

How does the Yamaha iPulse line compare to the Assembleon MG1? My friends had amazing experience with the MG1 and prefer them. I have never seen an iPulse in person. The heads and software look very similar between the two machines. The M2 seems

If you are working smt machines in Europe or US then your most important issue is setup time and operators needed to run the machine. People are way more expensive then machines. I know the assembleon machines, Gem line and the new MG lines are grea

OK, so all GEM Machines & MG were built by Yamaha, and imported in to Europe & USA and other places by Philips. After a while Philips developed it's own machine - the FCM. Philips then sold off it's SMT division and it was rebranded Assembleon.

When we were looking for machines we were looking at some of the same brands but ended up going with Assembleon Opal XII. They have since been replaced by another model. We have been happy with them. Have not placed any BGA's but 0402's are not a pro
