Barney, Please tell me who it is that told you this customer cannot get support. Certainly it is not the customer himself. We have been at this customer with top level engineers at the drop of a hat from day one. As for the C7 it is part of the new

Barney, We currently have 3 Contact Systems machines, (1) C3AV and (2) C3AVXs and I can't say enough good things about the machines or the support. It has always, always been there since we started dealing with them in 1991. The Service Dept personn

I have to disagree with Fastek. We only use dedicated tooling on our AP machines. Dedicated tooling pros: *Set up time is 90%+ faster than universal tooling. *It is very easy to train operators to install dedicated support plates. *You do not need

I am thoroughly amazed at the defeatist attitude of most of the reply posts. Ah well, let's let them have it without a fight. Do you realize that there is no next best technology any more? What you mean by not so easily exported technology will not
