Thanks for the update... I just have to view more discovery in the future...
>4 techies met face to face were true event to be jealous about... thanks

I agree. Some of the equipment made me wish I had PB (printed board) and
PBA (printed board assembly) manufacturing in-house, again. It did
reinforce that the requirements I am defining are achievable.
Many of us were attending Committee meetings all week and could only
catch the show in between, but felt the attendance was as expected and
overall a good first time effort by the IPC Staff. I was surprised that
Phil was not blown away by APEX, since he seemed impressed by an Iowan,
a transplanted Minnesotan and a Canadian (just kidding guys).

At the risk of disagreeing with my good friend Phil, I can't remember a
show where more new machines were introduced. Yes, many were based on
previous platforms, and yes, Cogiscan's RFID feeder was highly
interesting, but there were some other breakthroughs, too. One was
Viscom's combination AOI/AXI. Vitronics added a software program to its
6745 selective machine that is superb both in design and use. I also saw
a couple of really slick dispensers.
The problem is, some of the existing machines are already so good we do
get a bit jaded and forget how impressive the engineering really is.
