				Very impresive,
Got one of the R/D labs then?, HaHa
I became a pensioner last sat so have plenty of time now ;D
			 
			
			- 
				Those dust free environments are crazy, I have been to a few large plastic making factory's to fix machines and I had to fully suit up, hats shoe covers everything, always interesting to see how stuff like that works! 
			
 
			
			- 
				WOW... what a process! I only got to see this no.
Talk about going gree - they even have Air Showers - haha
These FUJI machines are HUGE   :o  yet so much manual work still happens.
Thx for sharing this  ;)

			- 
				Thanks runn3R, very interesting and even better in video.
			
 
			
			- 
				Interesting.
A few subtitles with process descriptions would have been helpful to fully understand what is going on but it is impressive.
Now maybe you should run a competition with a winning prize of an all expenses paid visit to the factory. I could do with a holiday!  :D
			 
			
			- 
				I second that ;D
			
 
			
			- 
				Awesome stuff and very interesting too :)

				Actually I thought that the older of the two SMT machines was putting the 27th resistor in upside down as I was watching... ;D

				What a surprise, indeed.
Well we wish you the best no matter what and hope that you will have lots of time for your family and all good projects.
Such as this Cafe, and I bet some other computer work.
