That might because every CM has a different overhead rate. In general, your costs should be material+direct labor rate+overhead rate+markup and or profit margin. For your overhead rate, consider your non-direct labor, and your facility costs. Am

The Fuji CP6 and QP242 should be more than capable of placing 0402(cp6) and bga components (QP242). You must be having some programming difficulties.

By way of an update. We have the locost machine running. Plenty of stuff left to do BUT we should have it available for Q3/2009. The basic spec is much the same, we have spent *ALOT* of time developing the vision system and calibration mechanism.

Harry, thanks for your comments. Certainly circuit diagrams where appropriate and mechanical schematics of complex parts like the head would be useful to the end user. We are working hard to eliminate relays and switches from the unit, and things

The Essemtec has a very cheap to manufacture feeder which you could adapt, or try one of the feeders that remove the tape by "ploughing" it off. Can't recall the brand right now. They are well made, but very cheap to make. The laser gets you speed. T

Thanks for the comments. Tech-support is one the big savings we think we can make and the customer will have to install the machine themselves - we will make a comprehensive series of videos and tutorials. Calibration will be semi-automatic and the
