Steve, Give MPM/Speedline a call and see if they still sell the SPM-AV, it's a shuttle style printer with vision alignment. It has a really nice auto-align vision system that will move the table in x,y and theta. It's not a look up/look down syste

For pick and place, I have worked with the Zevatech machines and Philips machines. Both are great machines. The Zevatech will give you greater speed and still offer great accuracy and repeatability. Don't let the belt drive stuff scare you, it sta

Harry,I know what you mean. You are completely right and justified. My father owns his own business and I see stuff like what you described all of the time. Yes we have done business before. I worked with you when you were with MPM and after you st
