I just logged on here to post that link! It had gone by the time my saved search flagged it which is probably for the best. Decent amount of kit for the money and my garage is already stuffed!

Yep, same here

I already have two RV4s's,  can't really justify another 2    ;D

A decent price, though I think now that there are some reasonably viable new alternatives from China, prices for used RVs are going to start declining.

I bought them with £3,000. I must find out now exactly what nozzles and feeders I will receive.

I hope to be more satisfied with this machine than I was with an TVM802A from China. To change the nozzle manual (screw/unscrew) it takes a lot of time and I preferred to place some IC manual. Also the vision was not so OK. Can someone tell me what other Chinese PnP machine are better and not so expensive?

None of the Chinese machines are yet as good as the RV in terms of :
Auto tool change ( none have it, though Neoden4 has 4 nozzles)
Tall parts ( many use the same head design with the same inherent limitations)
Software quality ( we all know the Chinese can't design decent software, OPenPnP may be a route out of this)
Flying camera ( none have it but some claim to be useable for some parts witjout vision)

I don;t need speed... I need to be precise so and not have to place too many components manual. So I think I make a good choice.
