I know of a place here in Phoenix, Arizona which would probably have all or most of what you need - it's called "Equipment Exchange"; their website is down, but I think they're still in business (haven't visited in a while, though). They deal mainly in used semiconductor and electronics manufacturing equipment; I've seen everything from wafer inspection equipment to reflow ovens to wave soldering lines to pick-n-place robots...etc. Craziest thing I ever saw there was a Unimation Unimate (the thing was waaay bigger than I expected - about the length and height (at the shoulder) of my Ford Ranger at the time). Wish I had the money and space to buy it at the time...
Well whomever wrote "I guess they don't want to give out that info, we should just answer blindly so that they can complain about being too far from the source.." that came to my email....Thanks for being a total ass and not having any sort of patience. I dont live on this thing like you apparently do, I told him im from Canada maybe 5 minutes later? Dont bother responding to any of my posts if your going to be a jerk.
As for everyone else, thanks for your help so far. Im looking to expand my department but dont know much about this equiptment.
I believe the budget I have been given is about $8,000, its alittle tight ( i know ) and he wants new, not used.
Ill check out this Equipment Exchange anyway...once their site is up again that is Even though its used equiptment, I may have to look at that for my budget?
