I can not find a F4G in Fuji�s equipment list. Siemens has a F4 ( flexible fine pitch machine ) and also a GII ( glue dispensing machine ), which both would make sense to add to your equipment list. Machines are �connected� together with their conveyor interface. You may connect the QP machines together dependent on how many feeders you will require for the job. Because they only place out of 8 mm feeders, you may want to add a machine in line, which can place the IC�s on your board. Actually all the machines you have, except the ( unknown ) F4G are high volume, low flexible machines. You configure these machines together to run thousands of boards of the same kind. If you require some flexibility, you may want to keep at least the chip shooters stand alone and tie possibly 4 each of the Philips clone machines together. Please also note that the machine performance does not add up with each machine you add in the line 40,000 + 40,000 = 80,000, but more likely 40,000 + 40,000 = 60,000.
