Rick,

You may want to check out the following website from SMT In Focus:
http://www.smtinfocus.com/processguide_placement.html.

One thing that you may also wish to consider is the health of the company
that you're buying your equipment from. In these times, it would be
unfortunate if you purchased a very sophisticated piece of hardware only to
find out that the company you purchased it from went out of business.

Good Luck

Lee Whiteman
Senior Manufacturing Engineer
