The GSM sounds great except for one thing--you won't fit all your feeders on it. That is, assuming your feeder list is what you want to have resident on the machine at all times. I think you could rule out 80% of the machines you are considering b

Before you buy a manual screen printer try to do it by hand. We hand stenciled boards with 19mil pitch parts for three years with decent results, with your parts it should be simple. lay the board on a piece of ESD bubblewrap, the kind with small bub

Hi Jeffrey, I bought my first used p&p last year, and I wholeheartedly agree the process of picking out one of these things is daunting! I am a small OEM with a strong tendency toward vertical integration. I'm just not satisfied unless I control a

One other thing to check is your PEC camera. Universal uses a jig to calibrate this camera but you could check it using this method. 1.Run about ten 0402 parts on tape with the PEC camera off and check placement. If the placement is off change the x\
