I'd like to see a SMD production line in action some day.

Dave Did, we even saw the 'backside' - thanks Dave :p

Well as a newbie (poor excuse I know :) I can change my request I hope..

I accidentally went to the wrong site twice in an industrial park in Singapore.
I got out on 5th floor on the first building and walked into a Seagate disk drive assembly plant.
The hands on the lines freaked out and unfortunately security arrived and escorted us out...

The next building ("C", I think it was ;) was the right building but the wrong floor.
Upon leaving the lift at the 5th floor, there was a perspex screen around the exit of the lift for viewing.

Hundreds of desktop computers were being made an hour with no people in sight.
Everything was robotic. From placing the CPU, heat sink and ram through to packing the computer and loading the pallets.
I do hope you can understand the airiness experienced. not a person in sight - just all these robots going berserk!
It was very surreal, and I remember I stayed there even after the rest of the my party left, absorbing the ambiance.
Eventually I felt guilty being late for the first class of a week training ): and left.
Fortunately the trainer understood :)

The sound of robot assemblies have a musical sound, perhaps a music video based on automated production?
