I would be looking at used or refurbished equipment with that budget. We had a similar budget a few years back and ended up purchasing a rebuilt pick & place machine. We have been extremely happy with the results Don't forget that you will need t

What is your plan/budget for your reflow oven and paste printer? Those are equally important as a placement machine. Have you factored in other costs of in-house assembly such as inspection, moisture sensitive device storage, rework tools, cleaning p

I am using SiPlace S20 and F4 machines. Both of them handle 0402 without problem. A newer machine, like S23 or S25HM is way better and accurate, S27HM can place smaller parts too. We are using EKRA E5 (2000) which can print this size without issues.
