Looking it at, i think your right...

[Spikee]

The one with linear guides and ballscrews looks like a good one.
The question is if the Visionplacer software will work on this (smallsmt).

[mrpackethead]

I dont' think it will be an SmallSMT machine as SmallSMT is the exclusive global dealer I think.

[Spikee]

AFAIK smallsmt is just the EU reseller.
But for this amount of money I would prefer the CHMT-530P4

No i'm sure he said he was the global distributor and he was in charge of software development. This can't be the same machine.

This is the same machine. He said he sells it worldwide but not in China. In China they are sold by the company which produces them.  Also on some pictures provided by him "AutoSMT" was seen.

Just look on videos in post by Smallsmt https://www.eevblog.com/forum/manufacture/smallsmt-vision-placer-pick-place-machines/msg938180/#msg938180
AutoSMT is clearly visible.

It looks like a nice machine. But if the visionplacer sw (SMALLSMT) does not run on this than you are fucked.
Since it uses these separate strip feeder movers that might be hard to get to work using other software like openpnp.
Since this is the only machine I have seen that does it this way.

This seems like the same software in chinese.

I asked smallsmt a few days ago about his machines.
And if there was a place where I could buy them in china since I am located there.

No response yet. I'm not going to gamble like 3K on that.

The machines with ballscrews seem very stable and the feeder system seems to work good.
The visionplacer 3000 software (should also support VP2500 VP2800) is even better for small BGA work (detects the balls) etc.

The VP3000 seems like a winner but if it's really produced in germany than the price will be to high to be competitieve in china
due to the import cost. or they must have a good distributor here.

I have asked about this but like I said no response.

[Smallsmt]

Spikee if you're located in China you can buy direct from Yusheng no problem.
But he need to support you.

Our VP-3000 can be shipped to China but you're right the import costs will not be cheap.
The focus for VP-3000 is Europe and America it's another class more like a production machine.

For our Chinese machines wait until new year we will add  better tape winder mechanics soon.
A machine having push feeder and Yamaha CL feeder will follow too.

[mrpackethead]

Micheal are these RoboDig machiens the same as your mahine or something different

[Smallsmt]

The Robodigg machines are sold from yusheng too because they are a Chinese distributor.
For the belt machines they maybe same but the HP machines we use different parts
Our contract doesn't allow yusheng or any Chinese distributor to sell overseas so we will see what's happen.

[mrpackethead]

Well clearly not selling to the Chinese Domestic Market when the price is in USD.
