Phil,
The QSA-30 was built by Sam Sung, Sold by Quad. Single Head 2 Nozzles around 11K CPH Quad does not support the machine but I believe you can get parts direct from Sam Sung. I am not sure if they have a registration fee. The QSA used Quad made Quad Aligns scanner. They will handle 0402's. Most QSA did not have upward camera. It was a good machine but parts & service are and will become more of a problem. Software was not soo good. If you can live with the parts & service availability, It is a good buy for what the machine can do you.
You may want to look at a Quad QSP-2. 14K CPH 0402 -15 mil fine pitch. Supported by Tyco & us, PPM. Dual Gantry, 2 heads, 4 nozzles. You feeders will fit.
Or a QSV-1, 7K CPH, Single Gantry, dual nozzle, Single head 0402 - 12 mil Fine pitch. Again your feeders will fit.
You can find info on Tyco website: http://automation.tycoelectronics.com/
Or on our website http://www.goppm.com
I know these machines very well and would be glad to answer questions. Tom 603 895-5115
