Most likely I am doubling the budget mostly because of the feeders. I am leaning to Juke 750/760. Most likely will end up buying 2 of them once we are fully up and running and understanding everything. We are looking for a good old dinosaur who

Lasers can go quite often, but if you are lucky and not in a great hurry you can get them refurbished dirt cheap. If you have a good 750/760 that has been well maintained it should run for a long time, but if it has not been loved you can end up payi

@ Sr.Tech, Most of our Chinese spares are Juki & Yamaha original & still bagged, just much cheaper. They wouldn't sell machines in China if all the spares and consumables were at European mark ups. Nozzle wise the Juki 750 & 760 copies are not 100%

@ Reckless, We installed one of our old GSM1's in a customer as a favour around 15 or 16 years ago, to use as a prototype machine. We spent 5 days there initially, 1 day set up, levelling and sorting out air and power issues, and 4 days teaching th

The 740 has been a great machine for us. We've been able to reliably load components as small as 0603 (we've not tried 0402, but I believe with a special nozzle adaptor, you can get it to work) and place a 7x7 56 pin QFN with 0.4mm pin pitch with hi

Fuji makes great machines, just depends on the local support If you are not doing anything special I'd probably just go with the I-pulses as you'll get a lot more machine for your money, and have some left over for inline AOI/SPI or look at somethin

Manncorp refuses to support used equipment. Plus their stuff looks like Torch ovens anyway with glorified controllers. They had a bad attitude towards their stuff. Did not sound like a responsible manufacturer to me. I did find two people suppo

MTC = Multi tray changer. It's a stand alone unit that feeds in trays of components - it means you don't sacrifice feeder locations to waffle packs. Different companies call them different things. A 760 is dog slow, and spares are getting harder to

Hi Reckless, Depends on model of Samsung & Juki. For example you talked earlier of a Juki 750 compared to an Assembleon Opal Xii, which were different generations - a fair comparison would have been a Juki 2060 to an Opal Xii. Same with the Samsu

I never thought I'd utter these words but, Have you considered Quad? Quad went out of business around 2001 but the line was picked up by Tyco Automation and then by a company called Precision Placement Machines (PPM). A Quad 4C with feeders should
