Any recommendation about SMT machines?

Former Member

Since I and my friend wanted to start small batch production, we hope to get some suggestion from you guys about SMT production line, including a solder printer, a PnP machine and a reflow oven. But  we don't have too much budget, does anyone have any experiences with cheap but stable SMT machines before? Any suggestion is appreciated!

 

Best regards,

    Olimex is a company in Bulgaria that sells new and used equipment; leaning more toward small shops.  You might be familiar with their boards (Element14 sells some), but they also sell manufacturing hardware.  They're an open source company that may be more willing to help than the guys who want to sell 100,000 Euro PnP machines.  They'll also be more knowledgeable than an importer about processing and equipment.

    I'm in the U.S., and not familiar with their equipment sales, but they produce some very good products themselves (I've use some of their boards).  You can check out some information from them at https://www.olimex.com/wiki/SMT-PRODUCTION .
