Not much, actually, but that was by choice. We use the Quads for short runs and when we want to get set up and torn down quickly. The Topaz was purchased specifically to give us the ability to get through our larger, regular jobs faster than we can

I looked at the Kiss104 and the SPA-400 at the SMTA show in Orlando. I spent an hour with the ACE rep, and walked away totally confused as to how the machine is programmed. I spent 10 minutes with the rep from APS Novastar, and using their Photoscan

Can anyone tell me the differences between the CP6-4000 and the CP643? Is the CP643 able to place a wider component range? Does the CP643 have some sort of vision system while the CP6-4000 doesn't? If anyone has the Fuji Specs on the CP643 and could
