I have been looking at the SPR-25. Would you recommend it for low volume fine pitch?

Yes, SPR-25 is a beast for a manual stencil printer, rock solid and heavy (about 50 KG) - the downside it is expensive, and the frame size is large.

This should be a really good test. Your either going to be really happy or stuck fixing problems constantly.

Yeah, there is where the bet lies

To tell the truth, i have a hidden agenda with this machine purchase... (whispering on) i want to try to use the extra feeders on my existing machine (whispering off).

Just to chuck somethign else into the mix. Boreytech are offering what seem like quite resonable machiens for this sub $10k market. I've had a quick chat with them, and they seem to be sensible folks.

Were you able to qualify the max practical part placement/resolution? I know you're wanting to place 0.4mm QFNs.

Which model is under $10K MrP?
Were you able to get a cost indication for their 'feeders' by any chance?

I've seen their machines on AliExpress but was put off by the shipping costs.

Also, I wonder why it is so difficult for some companies to do a properly lighted, high-res video of their machines in this day and age. I'm using a run of the mill S6 on a cheapo tripod for all my vids and pics and you have seen how they turn out.

rwb · « **Reply #579 on:** March 09, 2016, 04:45:26 am »

@servokit I was going to ask you which camera you were using to shoot your videos and pictures because they are very clear. So by S6 your talking about a Samsung S6 smart phone right? That's really good if so.

ServoKit · « **Reply #580 on:** March 09, 2016, 04:52:41 am »

Yup, that's the one. I've not once used it for making phone calls, it's only for imaging. The lighting in my shop is the usual tubes on the ceiling, nothing fancy. To attach the S6 to a tripod, I'm using a Shoulderpod S1.

Also, as a rule, everything that doesn't belong is moved outside the view of the camera (see TJ232's comment above).

Something very wrong with those shipping costs. teh machine costs are about right though. thats just a admin error.

matseng · « **Reply #582 on:** March 09, 2016, 05:07:36 am »

Not so extremely very wrong if looking at standard DHL pricing. Shipping 150x60x60 (5'x2'x2') box @ 120 kilos (260 pounds) from Shenzhen to New York is $3300. I guess the machines in the pictures are heavier and have larger crates than that...

ServoKit · « **Reply #583 on:** March 09, 2016, 05:13:24 am »

The merchant's invoice that came with my machine at 60kg gross (120x80x50 or so) listed $200 for shipping from Wenzhou to Germany. This is probably too low, the same seller quotes shipping costs of $400 for a 20kg (?) stencil printer. But still - $8K?

With $200 they have a really nice deal with DHL - standard quoted price at the DHL site is $2800 :-)

ServoKit · « **Reply #585 on:** March 09, 2016, 05:35:12 am »

They must - i paid $3'4K in total... I think the $2'8K price from DHL is like paying retail for airline tickets; you don't, you shop around.

you can also get it sent seafreight..

mikeselectricstuff · « **Reply #587 on:** March 09, 2016, 09:11:09 am »

I think the high shipping costs are about reducing Aliexpress commission - not uncommon to see stuff a lot cheaper than other sellers but very similar once you compare cost+chipping.

ServoKit · « **Reply #588 on:** March 09, 2016, 09:38:06 am »

Good point, Ali collects 5% IIRC.

Regards, Axel

mrpackethead · « **Reply #589 on:** March 09, 2016, 09:56:46 pm »

the best "buying" for Chinese stuff is www.taobao.com

Its a web site for the chinese domestic market, and so its in chiense, and its a bit painful. but you'll often find the same goods for 50% less there, that you'll find on aliexpress.

Theres "agents" in china, who will buy stuff for you for a commission. and freight is highly comeptitive over there.

Have a look at this.

Seach for "SMT??" on taobao and see the treasure chest you'll find!

@Ichan I was thinking this morning about how I can't wait to see how this machine works out for you. Glad it arrived and your ready to rock and roll with it.

Let the games begin

I'm sure were all excited to see how this plays out for you

Keep the pictures and videos coming

Ichan · « **Reply #593 on:** March 10, 2016, 04:32:24 pm »

Sure, i will share everything! Just ask which part i should take the pictures off, then i will do.

The machine arrived on the afternoon (i am on UTC+07 time), today we just uncrate it and assembly the stand - will continue with it tomorrow.

Just uncrated, seems everything is good. Some feeder block pulled off from it's place, not a big deal.

Assembled stand. Some parts a bit bent but can be straightened easily just by hand - missing the M5 bolts but i have a bunch of it. All holes are tapped and they do not forget to put the rubber sheet

.

Some other things on the package: spare feeders, spare vacuum pump, accessory tool box, etc.

Will trim and re-encode some video soon after this and put it on youtube.

Could you post a picture of the label on the pump? Or the information from it? I'm curious what model they are using.

Thanks,

No. I know it's CAN but that's all I know. I don't have an N4 to test with, just a single feeder I bought from them. Any information about it that you can discover would be greatly appreciated!

Small enough to put it in the mailbag, and get opened with the "not" compact letter opening knife?
