Hi Kathy!

     Ya' know, I've always kinda' cringed when I hear what it costs to measure
solder paste height with some of these systems. But there's one system that I
just bought, that I think falls more in line with what I consider to be a
reasonable cost to measure solderpaste height with, it's called a SMarT
Measure. It's a depth measuring microscope that operates in the same fashion
as a Vision Engineering unit does.

     The unit I bought is the third one I've purchased, I've bought two others
when I was with other companies. The unit costs a whopping $1,600 ! A little
different than $34,000 huh? It's resolution is plus or minus .05-mil (.001mm)
just as good as the big buck units.

     Sure, it don't have all the bells, whistles, and lasers, but it'll give
you a way to measure your paste deposition that won't break the bank. You can
buy 5 of these and still have money left over to get you that fancy-smancy AOI
system you want...(GRIN)

     Check it out if ya' want, call (408) 562-2033 and tell them you're
intrested in the Smart Measure Optical Z-Axis measurement system, they'll give
you all the info you need. If you want, I have all the literature and I'll FAX
it to ya' if you want to give me your number.
