Excuse me seeming to parrot Wolfgang�s posting, but he makes good points and I'd like to expand on them. I disagree that it's about disliking a "non-techie to post a reply/comment to the SMTNet forums." It's not about WHO posts. It's about WHAT i

That does sound like a great deal Tsvetan. Can you share any information about who/where exactly you purchased the machines, and which printer/reflow you have? I do have friends and colleagues in China that could ease the process if anything is comin

I like what you're doing. 20 years ago anyone, hobbyists and tiny garage-shop companies could create electronics devices just as sophisticated and cool as big corporations. Today, SMT has largely trashed the creativity (and competition) that existe

Well to their credit Neoden has regional representation in the EU, Aus and USA which helps support the end user better than email/QQ chats to China, although how much they really can do on their own is not something I could speak for. I suppose for

Wouldn't think of them as peas and carrots. Maybe, tree and carrot. ITAR: Export regulations that are specific. Board fabricators may choose to be ITAR registered. AS9100: Aerospace tailored version of ISO9000. So, it's general. In it's base form, AS

When the are up and running they are hard to beat, but when they go down they go down hard. Keep field service close. Don't get me wrong they're great machines and the company I used to work for had some of the first machines available. I come fro

Chris- The machines you identified are stable products and have been around for over two years now and most bugs have been worked out. The F5 IC head has not changed much since its introduction over 5 years ago. Remember these machine like to run, r

We currently have around 20k+ components in stock. I would like to have some opinions on creating a more lean manufacturing system. We check stock in our system and then order parts. Most of time leading to employees looking for parts, or shorts. We
