Does anyone have a "Smart Press" for installing press-fit connectors? I am
trying to locate a supplier name, address, and telephone number for this type
of press. I was told that a company called "MASS" in Colorado manufactures
this press but I have not been able to locate them. 

If anyone is using an electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic press with force
feedback and/or board sensing for installing connectors in PWB's I would like
to hear from you. Who is the manufacturer? What type of control does the press
have? It is programmable? We are looking to buy a more sophisticated press for
our press-fit assembly area and I would like to hear your recommendations.

Thanks for your input,
