Efren, Dover Technologies is maybe the only true supplier of a whole SMT line combining DEK, Universal Instruments, Vitronics Soltec, Hover Davis and others. Based on the information you've provided you may want to consider the AdVantis or Genesis

We actually ran production boards on Mydata and Universal Advantis. The Mydata machines software was very command line oriented which I thought was strange but they said they had no intention of upgrading it. The Mydata placement accuracy was superb.

The Advantis was more accurate than the turret, so he claimed. The Single beam (dual lead screw drive-this is not a GSM 1) flex machine is $125K the Lightning is $150K. They changed the pricing in 2004. I was quoted a Topaz XII at $187K. I know Phili

They don't index fast enough - On GSM's the original "black" feeders were replaced by "blue" feeders that indexed a lot quicker, that just about kept up with a flex head. There's no way one of those is going to index 8 or 9 times a second to keep

Thank you very much for the input. The Siemens route is actually one we have looked into but I guess our CEO had a bad experience with some Siemens machines some years back and is now rather turned off towards them. I myself have looked at the new Un

In my past life, I worked at a CM that used Mirae "Meridian" machines Universal Instruments "Genesis" machines. The universal instruments machines were much, much faster. What sort of head configuration did your Advantis machines have? The 30 spindl

I'm working on a regular base with Advantis. There's nothing special regarding maintenance with the machine itself, only standard greasing & cleaning each 3-4 months. An hour or two maximum. If you have lightning head on it, it's maintenance free. I

You might want to look at Universal's Advantis machines. I visited thier factory a few months ago in NY. They are building a LOT of machines so they must be selling a lot of them. I have been to two places that have them installed and the lightning h
