Samsung charges $5,000/year to keep a machine under warranty. I thought that was too high. The SM320/SM482 are on my wish list but annual maintenance contract & support are pushing me off. Definetly heeding your advice for dust free enviornment.

There are no new machines for under a 100k that will do 40,000 to 60,000 you are looking at over 250,000 dollars with feeders for a new machine.

I have been eyeing Samsung newer machines. They are claiming 55-90k cph on their chipshooters. Is that accurate? It also mentions they can handle QFNs.

What about their dual gantry 10 head chip shooter machines? They seem to be going around $50-60k used.

We have the sm481 10 head it runs about 20k per hour we are i n the USA if that machine is used for 50 to 60k it probably in bad shape or if it is from offshore you buy at your own risk.

20k doesn't sound that great to me. SM481plus is rated for 40k according to brochure. How fast do the chip shooters go?

Rob, I tried looking up information on google about assembleon sapphires and not finding anything. Do you recommend sapphire for a cheap older chip shooter? My smallest part is a 32pin QFN and 0402.

Rob, even for $3k guaranteed working, 20k hours? I want nicer equipment but I hate paying extra for it. I do have a full time Panasonic SMT tech from the 90s who handles the machines.
