Save your money. I tried to buy one for a G3 before, had one actually shipped in, and had to return it because it didn't fit the machine. Some other options: 1) buy a tape and reel machine cost you about $10K, but then you have control over

I actually built a dual tank fluxer for my Econo-Pak once to handle the same thing. Not all that difficult if you're mechanically inclined. BUT, for your application I'd recommend just hand spraying the 1 to 4 boards a month with any flux they reco

Mydata uses fiducials on their feeders. I am not sure whether or not your are familiar with Mydata feeders, but its pretty basic. The feeders are actually magazines made up of multiple individual feeders. Example: There are 16 8mm feeders in (one)8mm

The play of the tape is quite significant as I mentioned in an earlier thread. Tape width can vary between 8.1 +/- 0.2mm. Demos on 0201's are most likely done with 8.1 +/- 0.05mm tape. I guess you are referring to the cover tape pull, which can dispo
