Dear Alexander Since the start of our institute (1993) we are operating with Electonic Visions' doubleside maskaligner AL6-2. In fact we never had serious problems. The problems mostly were due to incorrect operation. EV's customer support is of the same quality level as the machine itself:very high. We feel quite comfortable with this company because they take care of our problems immediately and take time to listen. Based on these practical experience I could recommend you to contact EV to discuss our demands. Mr.Johann Weixlberger will surely like to introduce you to the product family of aligners and all types of bonding tools they build.
