JAX Is right. ROI. How much will it cost to subcontract your assembly for the next 3 years vs. buying your own equipment AND staffing (ie: Process Eng, Maintenance, Skilled operators, etc.). Then, ask how much will it cost you to buy new equipment

I don�t see how we could make any impact on the OEM�s to review their decision on the registration fees. Companies, who used to make things happen, are the big ones and they don�t care and don�t buy used machines. You could: Ask the broker/ dealer

Good Idea. I think there are many Bad apple used equipment dealers as well. We should track them as well. Every bad apple needs to be dealt with. OEM must make money to survive and support systems. But I must tell you for example I have found many th

Martin, may I ask what your offer is? Does the pick and place machine vendor provide you with a special nozzle, which would not require the peel off cover. Custom nozzles from the OEM are quite expensive, because they implement engineering and test.

We are a very small EMS that has been sued by a large OEM customer. We built a board, it passed the customer supplied tester, but we had accidentally put a wrong part on it. This was discovered years after we had been placing this part. The cust

You would have to do some extensive testing to really now for sure how much better coated blades perform than OEM blades. Deciding whether or not they last longer is just a function of regular inspections under a scope and accounting for the number

I think this licensing thing was a poor decision to begin with. I can understand the reasoning for GenRad to issue a software license, to protect their product against cloning. Why Universal followed could have been caused by the take over and the

From personal experience, I agree with Dave that pre-owned equipment is often a more favourable option than the OEM route...provided that the equipment is purchased from a reputable source, supported with some kind of warranty, and be aware that some

Could this be the contract-house effect? As OEM's outsource their builds to more and more contract manufacturers, the old way of thinking for the electronics industry will diminish. The picture of the old union shop with long-term contracts, job secu

From my understanding these China OEM machines are for very specific production with low flexibility. i.e. Smaller board sizes.....machines just for memory modules. With those examples they will beable to reduce conveyor sizes, linear motor sizes whi
