Pick and Place machines TVM920 or Chmt530p4

[chris2006]

Hi Everyone

I'm going to invest in a pick and place machine but I'm torn between the TVM920 and the chmt530p4

The smallest components I will be using are 0603

Is it best to go for a windows operating system or linux ?

Which of the 2 has the best method of securing the pcbs to the base ?

Hi,

I was in the same situation as you. My company invested in the CHMT530P4.

Dont ask me why. We will be going for a full OpenPNP conversion/hack.

Its in a boat right now. Arrives in two weeks.

I will do a full review with videos and put it up in the forums.

I think you should invest on TVM920 as it would be a system with a SMT Mounter Resistor Surface Mount.
