Spoilt, OK, a good point in your message, what good is a machine with 15 mm component height capability if there are no feeders that support that tall a component! I hadn't thought about that aspect! (My Philips CSM84 is limited to 6.5 mm, and I r

WOW, thanks for the documents, this will REALLY help selection. It looks like I want the FLX2011CV, that makes it a lot easier to set up and not have to reach into the machine to load and unload boards. The machine footprint is really compact, 10 m

I certainly can on the Paraquda and I suspect the basic algorithms are the same. Slimmer annular rings such as you might get on a plated via hole don't always image quite as well but if for some reason it doesn't pick it up you should be able to inte

OK, I am really happy with the robustness of my CSM84. I wonder how hard it would be to hack up one of these 3-phase machines to run off single-phase power? Mostly, it just feeds a big DC supply for the X-Y servos. 2 heads with ANE should be just FI

This will be in the basement of my home, in the US. I can assure you we do not have 3 phase "outside our building". We do have 7200 V 3 phase a block away, but that would require adding a block of 7200 V feeder and a transformer bank, the power com

If you are looking at a single machine, you are after a true "flexplacer". There are a couple of options it will depend a bit on the spped you want and how many different parts you need too load at once. Best: Europlacer Iineo for pure flexibility o
