Hi, That's expensive, and perhaps the MYDATA answer is not that far off if you get one of the TP9 models, which can be picked up for $40K or so. They use the modern feeders, and place only 1 component at a time, so will do ok on prototypes. As it's

Hello everyone. I would like to know opinions about which is the best SMT machine (pick and place) on the market, for smd electronic manufacturing, to put 0201 chip-type components up to large packages, such as coils, capacitors, soic16-, QFN, BGA et

I have had an Advantek machine for 10 years, replaced 1 heater and that's it. We don't tape every day but we use it quite a bit. Wouldn't do anything really small with it but SO's on up- no sweat. Pretty easy to change over too, stockroom girl does e

I've got four KISS 103s. If you keep up with the pump cleaning and especially keep your nozzles clean on the Lead Free, they are great. The only downside with them is that they are West Coast and we are East Coast, so if I have an issue first thing

I can only say it looks okay for what you need, you will want a dual wave system it can make things so much easier. One thing to check would be the wave nozzle sizes I can see that the conveyor will do up to 15" but thats not to say the nozzle is

Hi, Yes, forget Guru, he's a "tosser" who talks "bolloks". Did you ever notice the English have fantastic words for putting people down? Anyway back to the original question. A manual stencil printer might be ok if your not doing anything too tric

Funny how things can be looked at from two sides. Not sure what would be considered low volume in the above post. Our first KISS machine has been producing product for well over 4 years now, double shifts every day, and about 50% of the saturdays

Hi, Sorry, should have been more specific. We're looking for one of those benchtop/very small footprint machines to go with a support rail hand printer & benchtop reflow for our design lab to use for low volume prototypes. Something you can plug i

Have you considered looking into using am EMS provider instead? 130k is a very small budget to set up an SMT line capable of placing and reflowing 0201's. At that price point, you will need to go with used equipment. Do you have the knowledge, time a
