Introductory offer on new SMT platform
Universal Instruments is offering its new AdVantis platform at a special introductory price of just Eur 110,000 as it launches the machine at Productronica 2003.
Vantis is built on the same foundation as Universal's flagship GSM platform.
The machine has been streamlined by removing many features required by larger manufacturers, facilitating a list price under US $200,000.
Vantis incorporates a single-beam positioning system, and supports a limited number of heads, cameras, and configurations.
A choice of seven-spindle high speed, or four-spindle flexible heads accommodates a wide component range, while Asian language application support, extensive networking capabilities, and an intuitive graphical interface make the Vantis easy to use.
Although focused on providing value, Vantis offers the stability, reliability, and world-class support that are synonymous with Universal equipment.
"The Vantis will allow Universal to compete with existing mid-range equipment, and introduce additional value through our traditional strengths - robust equipment, expertise, service and support - things you seldom get from companies offering just a low price", said Aaron Saxton, Business Development Manager for Mid-Range Products.
