Hi everyone, we are, finally, going to use tape&reel packaged ICs. That brings the issue of buying a packaging machine. Now, how are these machines doing with ICs? No bent leads? Are these machines transferring from bulk or tubes? Could anybody suggest some machine manufacturers? How much would such a machine cost?
