Wanted - Pick and Place Machine

[AndrewX]

Hi
I'm after a Pick and Place Machine. An RV1s/RV4s would be find, or anything similar for that matter.

Does anyone have a machine they want to sell in the very near future. A plentiful supply of feeders is a must, as is being fully functional.

Please post/PM or otherwise get in touch with anything you may have.

Cheers

Andrew

I think the numbers are tailing off in terms of available RV's. I see Grove is listing both an RV1s and a Qplacer, after Versatronics machines you have to step up the ladder quite a bit and could be looking at MyData TP9 or 11's which have on-board vacuum or Juki's and Quads which will need clean dry air. These are the two most common options you will see and there are lots of feeders about, with a mixed lot of about 60 feeder lanes I was quoted £20-25k for such a machines when we were looking, but I think in the case of Juki's you will find them for less.

The other brands you might consider similar to Versatronics are rarely seen in 2nd user market, Essemtec in particular offers people generous trade-up packages which means most of them go back to Switzerland and get refurbished. Having said that Adopt is listing a CLM9000 which one of their earlier models.

Edit: Groves latest equipment mailshot would confirm they have an RV1 they are selling for someone, you never can tell if a webpage is up to date for such things.
