Hello all, We have came into this problem that I wanted to get everyone's input on from the SMTNET. We have roughly four pieces of equipment from a major manufacturer that we purchased from various brokers. We have two reflow ovens, one wave solder,

Hey Jason- I saw yer post on Technet as well. First I agree with you 100%. It is kind of funny how Capital Equipment Mfr's can lay off Service guys, Apps guys and Customer support Guys (Guys = men/women) but charge more $ for registration fees for

I do not agree. We were even told that if we do not pay, and we need to order parts, that there is no guarantee of receiving the right part number (since we didn't/couldn't use phone support for correct part numbers) and if the wrong part was receive

Here's what ticks me off by the OEM's extorting registration fees out of customers and refusing to support the used equipment market. You won't get the OEM's to admit it but a large part of their profits are obtained by service and support includin

There are a few reballing devices out there. Rework Solutions in San Jose, CA sells one. There are a few services that do it for a fee. One is Netco Automation. I am told they do a great job. I am not sure of the phone but they are somewhere bac

It is not just the rgistration fee. It is the fact that often after you register the machine you sre still denied a certian portion of service. UIC is very in check with their registration pricing. OEM's do however have a clause that says we can not

Yeah, you'll get the blue button functionality w/ 1.6. That protects the machine by disabling the magazine before its pulled from the machine. It tells the computer not to pick from that mag. Going from 1.4.7 is the same as going from 1.5, just softw

If a OEM does the wrong thing tell the World. Tell every single person you know. But also do the right thing by them when they do the right thing. Tell the World. If it's right it's right. UIC seems to be doing the right thing right now. Their regist
