I am looking at buying a pick and place machine to assemble the circuit boards we make. Most of the boards are small (2 to 10 square inches), most are 2 sided, and have maybe 20-50 parts per side. I use mostly 0805/0603 chips, SOT-23, SOD-123, SOIC

3 Printer Area Conditions * As stated earlier, heat and humidity are damaging to solder paste. Ideally, the printing area should be maintained at 40% - 50% relative humidity and 72°- 80°F (22-26°C). In addition, no air (cool or warm) should blow dire

There isn't going to be much worthwhile used equipment out there if you mean true jetting - it is a pretty recent process. There are lots of used stencil printers out there, so from an up-front cost perspective, stencil wins. Jetting is slow. A hig
