Based on in house demos, I have narrowed my AOI selection to two manufacturers. In no particular order, they are Mirtec and Yestech. Both performed well and each has their plusses and minuses. As expected, the references provided by the reps/companies both speak highly of each respective machine. I am interested in speaking, off line of course, to users of these machines. I am interested in hearing about items such as operator learning curve, programming/tuning times, false call/production tuning, maintenance/breakdown, and service response. Even if you have the floor models in lieu of the bench top, your experiences should apply. Again, please contact me off line if you are willing to discuss your machines.
