manufacturers of pick-and-place equipment and determined that Juki offered the best price-to-perform- ance. With its new medium- to high- volume Juki lines, ACD averages 1.5 turns per day. On the MYDATA lines, the com-
pany usually completes up to four turns per day because these lines perform prototypes or small batch runs. The Juki lines also have this capability, and this flexibility allows
