Interesting dilemma. This is a forum for solving technical problems and whining about issues that no one else cares about. ;-) Consider: * Taking your search to the SMTnet 'Marketplace' [it's in that blue bar across / near the top of the page]. *

This problem is the number one reason the electronics industry has moved the handling process of PC boards to the tray and tray cart handling process. It eliminates flexing of boards and therefore stops board damage ie. broken circuits and micro fra

Hi, I guess you a looking for a manual x-y table with a vacuum pick up such as SMT6000 from OK industries. I presume these are still being made-- We use one successfully at the end of a Mydata machine to place low volume components which we cannot j

I'll keep this short and end with another CM sales pitch. I do not suggest "cutting the bleeding arm" as few others suggested. There are good CMs sending "fully" populated boards. And there are good overseas ones where their average wage is US$4 wh
