What defines the Cadillacs and BMW's of board handling equipment? This industry seems to meet conditions for being commodity, and it is difficult to differentiate one line from another. But talking to people, alot of the same names come up. My the

the same differences that seperate Cadillac and BMW's in the auto world. Lines, look, performance, convienence, sound. A conveyor with wires, hoses, loud solenoids, are undesireable. Stien Automation/ Cyclone Automation Have a Newly released conveyor

Of the three main ones I use I like Autoveyor, robust, well priced, excellent features. DongGi - don't like. Flimsy, finicky. Nu Tek are good but compare the prices. I guess you would buy a "Rolls Royce" if that part of the line is fully automated, w

Well...maybe. First you would have to determine what type of trays you have. Conductive, dissipative or non conductive(non static generating). Dissipative would be your best choice. In the charged body model, the sudden discharge through a conduct

I would be afraid to have this kind of basket holding my boards. Yes, in most cases, you would not get damage if the boards were closed inside of a good, metalized (silver colored) ESD protective bag. The problem is that the boards usually have to c

Manual placement aids are often very similar, I would suggest it is quite difficult to tell them all apart. Most of them include some kind of carousel for bins of loose parts and have the option of a few tape "feeders". If you are building small volu
