Hi David, I've only ever worked with MPM, but my experience with them has been excellent. I've recently started with a new company, and we have a proto line that uses an SPM. I found the worknest a little frustrating at times, but the set up is fa

I worked on MicroFlex. All axis move via electric motor drive. Carraige reapatability is +/- 0.0005" (12 micron). Cameras position more easily on linear bearings than the swivel type. The alignment accuracy and repeatability easily supports sub-20mil

It's your first line, go with established manufacturers. Whether new or used it ultimately comes down to does the tool do the job and how well is it supported (labor/parts) if it does break down. I am a former field eng. with Speedline and now run
