Is Vivo is now http://www.intelligentdrives.com ?

Yes it is - Intelligent Drives was always the original manufacturer, and now selling direct.

www.vivo-smt.com now looks broken...
(Things are afoot here, and I was looking for machines)

If anyone from vivo-smt/whoever is watching here, you may want to fix it.
(I'm aware the 'fix' may involve pointing it elsewhere  - vivo is still showing up in searches)

Cheers,
Steve

Shortly after I asked that question David did call just to check on our new machine acquisition status and at that point at least seemed to be still selling machines himself. Other folks on this forum also had machine orders in progress, hopefully all is well and they got them.
The Intelligent Drives machine appears to be sold in one configuration only but the pricing is nigh identical and as such is probably the most affordable machine new.
After that you have options like the Benchtop Autotronik, Mechatronika, APS, Dima ATOZ or Essemtec Pantera (CSM seems to no longer be on their Site). However you need a budget of £60k+ for a machine with a decent bunch of feeders for anything beyond the first 3.

Hi all, to clear things up a bit:

VSMT SOLUTIONS LTD and VIVOSMT LIMITED are no longer authorised distributors of the machines designed and manufactured by Intelligent Drives.

GREENKIPPER LIMITED and UNION FMS LIMITED have never been authorised distributors.

The machine referred to as 'The Vivo' has always been designed and manufactured in the UK by Intelligent Drives. The design is owned by Intelligent Drives. By selecting different options and numbers of feeders you could suggest this is a different model or variant, but there is currently only one base model, with several options and upto 128 feeders.

Machines are in full production and orders are being fulfilled. For pricing and lead time quotes contact details can be found here:
