I am trying to figure out how many feeders I will need for our first venture into SMT. I have broken down our largest board we would build into the different feeder types. What I need to know is, how many extra should I order? Why?

I agree with all the comments saying MPM and DEK are OK, but more that spent those $90 KUSD in the machine, consider also the operating costs, spares, service, etc. We have had sometimes poor response to our MPM in the Mexico Plants. Try the EKRA if
