Rick:

I've done a bunch of board designs for these guys, and I know several of
the engineering and research people who work here.

This would be something you would probably use in your assembly line.

You keep on saying everything, so in addition to a surface-mount line you
need incoming and outgoing inspection.

This place is in your backyard.  They're American-engineered and mostly
American-made.

Also, be ready to have a temperature and humidity controlled environment --
this equipment measures increments so small that you have to control the
environment if you want that level of accuracy.

A lot of their equipment is overkill, but they have some low-end stuff that
will definitely do what you need in the PCB world.

The machines are built here in Rochester and the Applications Teams are
here in Rochester, Arizona and Singapore/Korea/Asia

These machines can also do inspection of IC/PCB manufacturing using our
generic software); View's machines/software can be customized/taylored for
automation / tight integration into customer's PCB / IC fabrication lines.

Various machines have different sensor options -
 optica/lasers/touch probes - all integrated into the measurement/defect
detection software
