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

WOW, just no innovation here. Nobody thought to sick some suction cup thinggys to is so it can place parts too and a little dispenser so it can put down paste and yea, an old convection rework wand and wow, we can do SMT and AOI. GOD, what was I thin

The company on a whole makes me nervous. If I were a betting man my guess is they have the biggest potential to be sold or worse. I am not sure I would bet my companies future on them. The last experience I had with them on new equipment was the sta

When you get in to a 30 spindle lightning head or the dual and single beam 7 spindle flexjets from UIC, there generally really solid machines. The only flakeyness we have is with a GC120 (4 beams in 1 box). and of that most of the issues are purely b

The older generation "GSM" feeders will work fine on the multifunction variations of the AdVantis Platform, but will not physically work on the Lightning based AC30L. The AC30L uses a 42v feeder interface, while the MF versions have both the new 42v

We just bought an Advantis w/flexjet head. Great machine. No problems with anything and Universal support is excellent as always. Prec-Pro dual lane feeders are the way to go. Also, I recommend buying the NPI module. This software allows you to

I might answer some of your questions: 1 - in order to use old 24V feeders, Advantis needs 24V feeder kit installed. As far as I figured out, it's only 24V transformer and wiring, so I guess you can do it yourselves if the machine is not upgraded

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

Your vibe feeders will probably work fine. Using the old tape feeders on a Lighning head will limit the speed of the machine big time. I have not done it but I dont think its a good idea. We considered buying used feeders to offset the cost of our ne

One of the requirements was traceability so I commented on that. I didn't comment on the Lightning head or on pricing policies. The lighting head has been sold many times and I have not heard of any user that kicks it back to Universal. Pricing poli
